So what are they supposed to blockade us with?

Argentine Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina or FAA)

How are they going to do that? How are they going to find British supply ships? They have no air borne LRMP’s. Without them, how do they know when to call up the strike planes and then direct them successfully? The only alternative is to maintain a constant air patrol over the islands and all of the surrounding area (many hundreds of square miles) with only 100 or so jets? Its a thirty minute+ flight time. Half the Argentine airforce can only just make the Falkland Islands and back as it is.
