Not a chance. Argentina has not got the capabilities to launch an invasion of the Falklands. Their fleet had no answer to hunter killer SSNs and still don’t. The Falklands is garrisoned. The Argentines would have a hell of a time trying to take Mount Pleasant Airfield.

What’s your take on shifting from a purely SLBM based nuke deterrent to something more flexible like air launched/cruise missile weapons which can deployed from a variety of platforms???

Would it help save funds for other projects???
