How long til the Argies kick off?
Discussion
Now that Ark Royal has been officially retired and the Harrier squadrons disbanded.... How long will it take for Argentina to make another move on the Falklands?? We wont have much chance of defending the islands....
and i doubt the french would want to lend us the kit.....(even though they signed a 'deal')

A little less likely after the news on the drilling work that has been going on.If they find oil then I'll estimate 2 years.
I will also doubt they will make the same mistakes as last time by avoiding the Harriers. They will launch an all-out air assault on the resident Typhoon force - win the air way, win the ground war.

The Argentine airforce is in the same state as it was left in 1982. They would have better luck in shipping over some of our dirty students to smash the Typhoons up with bricks and placards.I will also doubt they will make the same mistakes as last time by avoiding the Harriers.

No but they do have a love of the Ford Falcon: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-1196...
Presumably we won't deploy the Rapier missiles this time now we know they don't work in hilly locations (d'oh).

Regardless, it's a moot point. There is a submarine on constant patrol in the area with the ability to throw cruise missiles around Argentina with impunity. They know that. You may get some sabre rattling, but that's about it.
Concorde is surprising small.. Maybe we could employ some sort of catapult held by two people...
In all seriousness.. UAVs.. IIRC we have a few Reaper UAV that can sit up in the sky and wreak havoc.. Imagine them on a shift pattern along with the CAP and the UWCFU (Under Water Country fker Upper) that is surely lurking like some PH member....
