Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
Not true - we in the RAF were often heard to say that the Pongos weren't as unintelligent as everyone thought, and that the Navy personnel weren't all strange.....
But back on topic - strangely enough, there is an article in today's Times (behind a paywall)
Quote:
British jets a match for Argentine’s ageing attack craft
“People need to remember that Argentina has not bought a new fighter jet since the Falklands war, so it is flying 40-year-old Mirages. We’ve got Typhoons, arguably the world’s most advanced and powerful air superiority fighter, based in the Falklands.”
He said that the Government was ready to reinforce the islands should the need arise. “But we have no evidence at all to suggest that the Argentines have either the inclination or the capability to intervene militarily in the Falklands,” he said.
