For further reading go google/Wiki the Argentine Airforce and Navy (the navy in particular as that's where their modern (40+yo) planes are..

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising

You have to hand it to the Sun, they know how to go about a-rabble rousing ...

Quote:
THE Sun today hits back at the Argentine president over her Falkland Islands newspaper rant. We have published our own letter in a Buenos Aires paper to warn her: Hands off our territory. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner had demanded the islands for her country in UK newspaper ads. PM David Cameron yesterday backed the islanders remaining British. We fired off our newspaper message to Kirchner in her native Spanish.

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising

We're not going to fight. We won't hand over the islands, and they don't have the means to take it by force. Everything else is just noise. Cristina Fernandez de Whatever can whine to the UN, whine in adverts, whine in the press as much as she likes, and The Sun can pull all the PR stunts they wish, it's all noise.

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising

Point out to this argie bitch that the one ship we have there can wipe out their entire air force and navy, at the press of a button, and leave room for the army.
