a UK nuclear submarine would be enough to disable their navy as it did the first time around, our ships have far better defences against missiles and planes now, our planes are superior (eurofighter) and we have a proper airbase there now, and as far as ground troops there's no comparison. the only argentine advantage is that there mainland is so close.
it was hard last time because the argentines had already dug in, and we had to travel 8000 miles just to get there and take everything we needed on ships. if it happened again it would be over far quicker and much easier.
