The UK can hardly afford a War either.....and might be a bit strapped to fight a Second Falklands War.

There is but a single Vulcan flyable...able to be made flyable.....so there is hope.

No, the Vulcan is civvy now with no bomb systems installed.

How many Aircraft Carriers in the RN inventory?

I believe HMS ILLUSTRIOUS & HMS OCEAN Still exist! However we have an airbase on the Falklands this time with Eurofighter Typhoons and the ability to reinforce at short notice! Defended by a British Army Garrison.

How many Harriers left in the inventory of the RN and RAF?

None, We could muster quite a few Apaches though!

It shall be a very much different War than last time it would appear.

Balloons on sticks at three paces Gentlemen!

How about cruise missiles landing on the Argentine Mainland?
