History shows that a well-supported amphibious invasion force almost always wins. If the Argentines got ashore that would mean that they have control of the sea & air. The Gurkas would do their best... And lose.

They got ashore last time and had a “Sgt. York” moment with the Gurkhas. Article states Argentine military has failed to recover from first Falklands War. About 30 years ago! NVA re-constituted itself in less than 2 years, several times. Average Argentinian more interested in drinking and screwing and being seen on HGTV than seeing their bodies penetrated by NATO 5.56...
