Your analysis points to a need for the Brits to have a potent antiaircraft system on the the Falklands, which they seem to have in the form of the Royal Navy surface vessels on station, if nothing else. Yet the Argentines and their regional allies still seem capable of taking the islands if they were willing to sustain the necessary losses, and they might gamble that diplomatic and economic pressures could deter a British counter effort made chancy by cutbacks.
