No dispute here. It would be Argentinian one day for sure.
All that read coat chest beating is ridiculous.
Falkland War was a great overextension for them which only worked by miracle and they want it to look as a confirmation as their out of this world capabilities?
In a real conflict with a first tier opponent they’d need to pull multiple operations the scale of Falkland War every week to possibly stay aflot.
And that’s of course is way over their head.

You obviously are unaware of the absolute shit-state of the Argentine armed forces. Back then, they had an aircraft carrier and a capable airforce. Nowadays they have no combat jets and a few barely functional surface combatants in a poor state of repair and inadequate training, and no logistical capacity to launch and invasion capable of overwhelming the 1,500 garrison on the Falklands. The Falklands garrison alone has more military capability than the entire Argentine military these days.

The HMS Queen Elizabeth will also reach IOC next year, with F35Bs. Argentina ain’t taking anything, never mind holding it.

You have no idea what you are talking about, yet you offer an opinion.
