I have looked through the current inventory of the Argentine and UK forces. The Argentine forces have become weaker. The UK forces are a little smaller, but modernized. The Royal Navy was two much newer generation destroyers, and will have 3 aircraft carriers. The Typhoon and Tornado aircraft provide the RAF with improved capabilities. >>>Most important, the UK currently holds the Falklands - how are the Argentines going to land enough forces to avoid a massive slaughter, let alone get a foothold ?<<< The UK will have Challenger 2 tanks in the Falkllands. A UK submarine force able to stop resupply. I expect the UK will be able to hold the Falklands indefinetly with moderate expenditures - much less than what can be gained from significant oil production.
