Falklands War 2?

[Jimbuna]

Pinched this comment from another forum....I liked it

Every so often a story pops up about the Argies buying some wonderful bit of kit that imperils the Falklands, and what happens? Nothing, because they are skint and spending money on the armed forces only seems to encourage the generals to want to run the country - so another reason to keep them on a tight lead.

Last time out the Spanish were alleged to be flogging them Mirages, before that the Israelis - both times nothing - Argentina is a strictly 'cash only' sales area.

Four Typhoons with 8 A/A missiles each and IAD? Goodbye first wave of attackers, by wave 3 the pilot vacancies in the FAA and Navy are astronomical and RAF pilots have time for tea and (South Atlantic) medals while a Squadron of the buggers has flown down via Asi to join the turkey-shoot

Of course they could send in the Ninja Suicide Penguins......but our Rockhoppers are nails
