Both countries military are in abysmal condition. If it wasn’t for US support during Falklands 1, the outcome would have been totally different. Don’t worry about Argentine pilots, they have plenty of bravado... just lousy equipment.

The fifth most powerful military in the world ‘abysmal’. If you say so. I do wish some of our American friends would stop thinking a few Sidewinders wins a war. Bravado or not, the Argentinian pilots had a 100% air to air loss rate against Harriers. They’re still in the same planes and we’re in Typhoons. Good luck to them if they think they are hard enough.
