British submarines will take out the Argentine Navy. All you have to say is “Belgrano” and see what happens.
I’m willing to bet that the Brits have lots of Harrier Jump jets still left either on or near the Falklands. The US, in one of its stupidest demilitarization moves in recent times, stopped buying them from England so our units had to buy older British models to cannibalize them for parts.
They were extremely effective in Iraq and if they haven’t been used in Afghanistan, they should be. Can on on your driveway and packs a deadly punch.
Another of one of Obama’s lets get our troops killed while I can.
As I recall, a squadron of Typhoons are based on the Falklands.
The entire Argentine Air Force wouldn't be a match for them.
The RAF has a flight of Typhoons stationed at Mount pleasant.
The UK has a squadron of Typhoon fighters based on the main Falkland Islands. They have retired their jump jets.
But the Typhoons are very modern and very capable and will handle any old Mirages or A-4s the Argentines still have.
A single British nuclear attack submarine will handle the entire Argentine Navy...or what is left of it.
Prospects for a successful Argentine operation against the Falklands are very poor...even without the UK carriers.
The Brits will give the Argies a good blocking!
Wrong. The Brits retired both their Sea Harriers (aircraft and spares sold to India) and the Harrier GR7/9. The latter and parts inventory were sold to the U.S. as support for the Marine’s AV-8B Harriers until the F-35B is available.
The AV-8B was designed and built by McDonald-Douglas for the UK (the AV-8A, long retired came to the USMC by way of the UK and BAe). Boeing has since acquired M-D and is responsible for the AV-8B Harriers in service. Italy acquired AV-8B Harriers and Spain acquired EAV-8B Harriers from M-D.
