@dennis.fang: Can Britain realisticly defend the Falklands in 2026? #Falklands #Malvinas #argentina

boatschool84 :

💯correct. Even if Argentina were somehow able to take the islands, they could not hold them. The English carriers bristling with F-35s would quickly establish air dominance. The Royal Navy would cut off any resupply of the island, while F-35s would pound Argentine forces on the Falklands into submission. Argentina had a credible chance in 1982, but today they would be completely out classed in the air, on the sea, and on the ground.

Jamie Ford :

We would dog walk Argentina

UnitStellar :

We could always invoke article 5 and force the Americans to help 😂

Chris H 🇬🇧 :

They will get their arse kicked again

halcutting2 :

British can't even send a battle ship without two months notice and we will not help this time

Dave :

Back in the 80s Thatcher dispatched boats to the Falklands in 76 hours. We'd be lucky to get one ready by the end of next June.

ddj1967e🇬🇧🖕Suka 🤪🍻🦁 :

Rússia Will supply Argentina 🇦🇷 and equip them as a proxy war

big stu :

You heard of nuclear submarine

boosywet :

😂 Is Britian even a force anymore with out daddy America 😂

Todd Barrow :

Drone warfare has changed things a lot....A second Falklands war may look very different than what we remember.

Crackingdale98 :

Their best chance is for one of our treacherous leaders gives them away like the Chagos Islands.

Ted Ted :

We have 3 times more personal there than we did in the 80s, plus superior jets they wouldn't stand a chance in the words of Bob Marley " dont worry about a thing".

Maximus Le Brown :

First time I've seen a level of nationalism from the british

CptSharpe :

The detachments already over there could probably handle it without breaking a sweat

🇺🇸Luchi.El.Zorrito🇵🇪🇵🇷 :

All the US needs to do is declare war and side with Russia.

WhyNot :

Just make sure you have our permission. Right now we like Argentina, UK not so much.

Kronstadt :

Argentina’s airforce would be wiped from the sky by a combination of surface to air and aircraft.

Andrew :

Tone.🇬🇧 :

It’s clearly a bullshit call to arms

Crazy Dave :

Ace ❤️🖤 :

The few planes and drones will only last so long no way to supply since Royal Navy has very few seaworthy ships 🚢

XO :

None of this matters much in today’s world. Now-it’s all about drones.

mkmart3 :

let them humiliate themselves again!

Mike :

Remnants of Britain's colonial era.

Demetrius Flenory :

One wave of Nyam Drones and Argentina would surrender. War has changed to a point where fighter jets are useless in battle. Great in reconosense but not nearly as effective as a drone. They also have no submarines. No aircraft carriers. Britian could win this war without putting a boot on the ground. It would be easy to siege Argentinian ports. We could starve them out. We could destroy roads and bridges air fields and take out water and electricity. Not a single bullet would be fired toward mainland uk. Argentina will surrender in a matter of days
