Originally posted by Bigfella View PostI would love to know what the predicted lifespan of some of those aircraft are under wartime conditions. I'm not talking about getting shot down (which I suspect many of them would be) but just flying combat missions. How long until they start breaking down? My bet is that within a few days Argentina will find itself with not a lot in those hangars ready to wheel out one way or another.No such thing as a good tax - Churchill

I'm guessing 2-3 Tomahwaks on the hangars would send a clear message...Last edited by desertswo; 18 Dec 13,, 16:34.

It seems quite a few of the Argentinian airbases are near the coast. I think some of you will guess where I'm going with this...

Originally posted by ehcross View PostWell, the Argentinians are in a difficult economic situation indeed. I don't think they would risk a new war under those circumstances. Which is a blessing for the British Navy, whose past grandeur is now almost a joke.
Given Argentina's economic problems I don't see a massive program of military spending in its future. If you want the reason why there won't be a war, don't look at the economy, look at the military that would be tasked to fight the war.sigpic
