Yeah, I looked at it. The user only uploaded two photos, this and the FMK mine image also used in the article. I looked around and couldn't see them used anywhere else online though. They also edited the Halcón ML-63 Argentine SMG article. I figured they may have some experience with the Argentine military, during which they took the photos - Dumelow (talk) 10:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

was the O-Revealer actually used in the Falkland Islands?
I can't find anything suggesting that it was ever deployed anywhere in the world. I've previously thought about removing it completely and have now done so - Dumelow (talk) 10:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"mines and releasing of previously inaccessible" what does "releasing" mean here?
Why would Argentina criticize the british operation for not including them? I'd expect them to be happy as they didn't have to pay for it?
It's all tied up in the sovereignty issue. They were claiming a violation of a 1976 UN General Assembly resolution against unilateral actions. I've expanded on this in the article - Dumelow (talk) 10:38, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Anything to add from articles like [1], [2], [3], [4] (from the abstract:"he background relating to the 14th July 1999 Joint Statement is considered in some detail as it relates to [...] land mines [...] on the Falkland Islands"
