The Uk can defend the Falklands, they could never actually invade Argentina, much less hold it. They tried twice and was the Royal Army's most miserable blunder of the 19th century. in Buenos Aires... sucks.

I thought at first it could also be the 'new' Argentinian rocket, you know, the one with a 25% payload where the V2 (the acknowledged most advanced rocket of its age) only managed 8%.

Then I realised the Argie one is so overloaded it can't get further than 100m from the launch pad.

Anybody noticed even the Old Wop' Polycell has gone quiet about his new toy?

@DanyBerger

Yes it would be alot of fun, as this is what we have to land troops on argentine beaches after taking out your defense with tomahawk cruise missles, brimstone missles from typhoons etc, and from naval artirally bombardment - http://www.army.mod.uk/equipment/boats/1540.aspx

This is what you have for landing craft, note you have no navy, no tomahawk missles and no fighters capable of beating our typhoon figthers defending the falklands - http://www.army.mod.uk/equipment/boats/1540.aspx

Whom i wonder how much fun it will be shooting at you whilst your rowing your boat. In fact it bet it would be bloody brilliant fun, so count me in lol

Well they do say,
When you are hopelessly out numbered, out gunned, out planed,
Not enough ships, and thousands of miles away from home, you need a very good imagination,

A bit like what we did in 1982,

@16 briton,
Ah yes,
lmagination can be a wonderful thing if handled right.
No one could imagine that we could recover our lslands from the invaders in 1982, But we did.
But if imagination is not handled properly.
For example, the Argentines imagine that they have a right to our country!........................fools, can you imagine that?
