So is the Argentines though too. SO its a toss up again. I don't even see the Mirages that the Argentines used to fly, but the Brits can't put up a carrier anymore either that I know of, so that may not even be an issue. ALl they would have to do is jump on a crusie ship and park troops in the Falklands, and I don't see how the Brits could do much about it? THey don't have a mobile airforce anymore that I know of.

PS. NEver mind - THe Mirages are still flying -

Matter of fact, I am sure the UK would have trouble this time around.
