Rapier (if they try to come in under the radar envelope)

First the Rapier is rubbish, it not much more capable than a Stinger. Its a great missile for when the enemy is already bombing you.

The PAAMS on the Type 45 has a range of about 60 miles meaning it can cover either the north or south side of one of the Falklands. The enemy can always land on the side its not guarding.

Only four Typhoons really limits how many Argentines they can shoot down. If the enemy is smart they will force the Typhoons to attack several waves of fighters first depleting their missiles.
