Agent Orange   11 #337 Posted February 6, 2012 Nothing to stop them this time though. We have no navy to speak of, and certainly no government of any idea.  They don't have the means to launch a successful invasion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #343 Posted February 6, 2012 plenty to stop them. air base in place  5000 troops  nuke subs  british guts and a lust for blood  Imaginary troops?  The total deployment is about 500 personnel made up of a roulement infantry company, an engineer squadron, a signals unit (part of the Joint Communications Unit - see below), a logistics group and supporting services.[18][19][20]  How many combat troops is that, 100, 150?

Balpin   12 #344 Posted February 6, 2012 Hardly...  As soon as we retire they will be back in. They will also release their hidden troops in europe, and that will be it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
MrMoran   10 #345 Posted February 6, 2012 Imaginary troops?   How many combat troops is that, 100, 150?  Thats all it would take. The Argies dont have the training, the kit or the guts to try it on again. If they do, and i really hope they dont but if they do they will have their Arris handed to them on a silver platter.

Cyclone   10 #346 Posted February 6, 2012 It's nice that you've got such a high level of confidence in our troops, they are well trained and equipped, but numbers count for a lot, and 500 (even if they were all infantry and not support) isn't really that many.

Agent Orange   11 #347 Posted February 6, 2012 As soon as we retire they will be back in. They will also release their hidden troops in europe, and that will be it.  I shall await that day. Excuse me for not holding my breath though  It's nice that you've got such a high level of confidence in our troops, they are well trained and equipped, but numbers count for a lot, and 500 (even if they were all infantry and not support) isn't really that many.  How do you propose Argentina get their troops onto the Falklands?

MrSmith   10 #348 Posted February 6, 2012 Imaginary troops?   How many combat troops is that, 100, 150?  Just a point of interest was communication engineer in the navy and on several occasion I beat the members of the marines in shooting and infantry competitions, we were all trained to fight regardless of our main job.
