The UK is far better off - a very large air base is the main change and a few state of the art fighters (far more effective one hopes than the SHAR) - but without any medium/long range AA missile defence it must be open to a take-out strike

Argentina is certainly less effective - the Armed Forces have been short of cash for maintenance and upgrades for a couple of decades...........
