ICBM.

not true - even a limited reinforcement of air assets would make any potential tussle waaay out of Argentinas league. the problem at the moment is that it appears much more evenly matched, and therefore potentially 'doable'.

with only 4 Typhoons on the Islands even 99% servicability means that only three Typhoons are available - and three Typhoons with no AWACS and only one tanker can be chased around the sky until they are run ragged. when they are run ragged they are vunerable.

if the force were increased by four Typhoons, another tanker, four GR4's and a pair AWACS the Islands couldn't be taken if all of Latin America joined in...
