Falkland Islands Tension increase

[Cyclone 10]

You seem to forget the destroyer, soon to be patrolling the Falklands, with it's immense firepower.

 

Immense anti aircraft ability. It has practically no anti surface capability and would be pretty much useless against infantry on shore.

Infantry would not get to the shore if they don't have air superiority.

I think it will be able to holds its own and we can also attack ships from land and aircraft.

 

The anti-ship systems include a pair of quadruple RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missile launchers, a 114mm Mark 8 gun and Sea Skua missiles capable of being launched from the ship’s Lynx HMA 8 or Merlin helicopter.

We would not stand a chance.

All our best men are are now retired and settled down.

So you think none of the servicemen now in uniform are up to much?

it might actually be a good thing if things kicked off in the Falklands. We might have to pull our lads out of Afganistan and send them there. It would be a walk in the park in camparison, and at least they would know who they're fighting!!!!

Our men are the best in the world.

How dare you suggest otherwise?

You are a disgrace to criticise them.

How dare you.

In the Falklands in 1982 we had well-trained but relatively inexperienced troops who did a damned good job, against opponents well dug in and, in some cases, well trained and equipped - not all of the Argentinians were poorly trained conscripts.

 

The experience and combat effectiveness of today's British Army, as well as the Royal Marines and RAF Regt, is in quite a different league after 2 decades of experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That's exactly my point. It would be a walk in the park.
