Lets' look at the argies capabilities.. for example look at the current anti-aircraft capability of the Argentine Army.. 3 outdated Roland SAM systems, They did have 4 but they left one for us back in 1982.. and a lot of various anti-aircraft guns without any automated fire control.. Probably all useless against the speed and stand off capability of the eurofighter.

Look at the navy.. defensively even the aspide system they currently have is outdated and designed against sub sonic aircraft.. Again they rely on exocets ship launched (well we know what happened to the General Belgrano)and air lanched which the SuE's (the only aircraft capable of launching them) have less than a dozen aircraft left, no carrier and reports are that most of the squadron is non-operational..

To put is simply the Argentine attack capabilities is a lot less than in 1982.

Britain would currently have at very least a few days notice of an attack on the islands through current surveillance technology, by then the air force and army can get immediate reinforcements by air and the type 45 can lay back for a long range defensive role close to the island.
