Back in 1982 total heavy weapons for the defence of the islands consisted of four l7a1's and two 2" morters neither of which were in working condition. There were no prepared defensive positions or anyway on the islands themselves to detect an approach by hostile forces.

Now there are prepped defensive positions, working and better morters, light artillery, anti aircraft defences, surface to surface missile systems to engage incoming ships and anti armour missile systems as well. On top of that four fighter jets that on their own can probably hold off the argentine aurforce which is not a shadow of what it was in the 80's.

Not forgetting full radar coverage it is completely different now to the situation back then. There is zero chance of armed conflict over the islands again unless some complete lunatic gets power in argentina.
