TLAM from the silent Service would indeed create the primary effect of closing the runway - and pretty effectively too.

But - it wouldn't have what was the greater strategic effect of ensuring that large numbers of Argentine aircraft stayed 'fixed' around Buenos Aires and therefore took no part in the battle.
When they start to end up on Argentinian runways as well, yes it would.
