More cracks found on “B” model. http://www.star-telegram.com/2013/01/12/4542957/f-35-marine-model-stress-testing.html

Well I doubt the Brits would just sit around doing nothing……..by the time an attack took place they would probably be facing 2 maybe three sqdrns of Typhoon with Sentry support. Aerial attempt to interdict at sea would be met by the VERY good Type 45, while any surface ships would be Astute meat.

One slight thingy……….ok, Shah is not overthrown in 79…..but……..he has cancer and died like a year later………..what then?

I drove tanks for 4 years. didn’t like WoTs.

They would also have the best equiped navy in the region. Wonder if they would have gone for the Tornado?

I doubt very much whether China or Russia would care one little jot what the UK thought about a multi-billion dollar Argentine order.

On that note, with an aged airforce almost across the board, and assuming correct finance levels once again, perhaps I’m coming over to a raft of equipment from China.

They do after all have current construction or development programmes for a MP aircraft, AWACS/AEW aircraft, 3 seperate modern fighters, tanker, transport aircraft, and amphibious/sealift ships.

If the placing of a large package across the spectrum could ensure Argentina get’s the best of what China has to offer, perhaps it’s not a bad idea.

China would be well within their rights to sell aircraft and such to Argentina, and Lord knows, the Argentine armed forces do need upgading. But if the Argentines were making threats and such to UK regarding the Falklands and China still sold weapons to them, then I imagine China would remain completely silent when UK starts asking Taiwan if they would, perhaps, like some Typhoons and maybe a Type 45 or two.
