It doesn't look good does it? 1 sub and a shagged T42 with an out dated air defence capability, 4 typhoons, 1 seaking, some ground troops and a malitia. Not that I want to detract from the commitment of these fine people but with that small list of major equipment, if argentina was to throw all its air miltary resources at the islands at once then how long would it take to overcome them? - Not too long I think and certainly less than the 1 week which it took for the Typhoons to get down there in the 1st place. There already testing the sea around the islands and the runway is much more capable of operating fighter aircraft. Assuming that the capured MPA intact then how difficult would it be to retake the islands with a Naval fleet that has no credible air defence and less ships than it had 27 years ago?
