THAT is the entire Royal Navy today. It is a pale shadow of what they were incapable of offensive power. There are no Harriers at all anymore. They have NO heavy bombers,,period.
They have the ability to shoot a few cruise missiles at the mainland. And also all out nuclear war.
But they have Typhoons and thats about it. They are restricted to one base they can fly from. And at max range they can annoy the argentine mainland, but accomplish little.
The British soldier is pretty good, but his nation is incapable of a repeat of the early 80s.
They couldn’t even maintain an air interdiction effort over Libya, from well established NATO bases without us doing it for them. Realistically, the British are only invlved in any of our wars because it’s a way for them to have some political say, and to insert Officers into cool career enhancing jobs.
They literally have more generals than they do tanks now.
Argentina is in even worse condition. Half of its pilots have lost their pilot’s licenses, because they cannot log enough flight time to maintain their pilot’s licenses. The Navy has only about 16 warships that are in a state of combat reeadiness out of some 60 ships. The Army is worse still.
I was only addressing the ground troops, if I were an Argentine soldier, I would not look forward to facing actual killers and war fighters.
