Argentina's military spending is almost the smallest in South America and its infrastructure and equipment has had little in the way of upgrades since 1983.

Despite our own spending cuts, the UK's military is technologically far more advanced than it was in the early 1980s and there is a lot more hardware deployed to the Falklands also. Even if they fancied having a go, Argentina couldn't get near enough to the islands to land on them.
