Just how potent a force are you really?

Be honest now.

Strategic Bombing capability?

AAR Capability?

Tactical Bombing Ability?

Surface Combatants....Anti-submarine Warfare?

Airborne ASW capability?

Airborne Infantry capability?

Airlift capability?

We are talking capability not quality alone.

How much real "Throw Weight" do you actually have now days?

If the Falklands and Gibraltar were at risk of being taken by those who want them....would you be able to defend both?

Far fetched perhaps as i don't see either of those neighbors really wanting them back enough to kick off hostilities....but one never knows does one?
