Back to the question of “how”…:

1). Forward deploy the Argentine SSK fleet about 100 miles north of the islands to engage any would be rescue fleet that the Brit’s assemble. Provide cover for any logistical fleet sent to supply the SSK’s with an escort of Meko frigates while half of the remaining airworthy Mirage III and A-4 Fighting Hawks provide top cover for said surface fleet.

2). Using a covert team sent to the Falklands ahead of the main invasion, destroy the fuel storage for the EF2000’s and other RAF air assets on the islands.

3). Destroy as much of the Falklands Defence Force as possible via air strikes…

4). Walk into Stanley and raise the Argentine flag

5). Worry that I forgot about something that you guys will now tell me about 😮

Superb, thank you very much Strato

Don’t you think educating them into society is better than being expelled, which is more or less condoning their behavior, and letting them get away with “Murder” as some do.unfortunately, and then wonder why the minority spoil it for the majority.If the “Decent” Muslims want peace and quite if not all do, then why on earth don’t they themselves sort the troublemakers out, what they need is a Muslim Charles Bronson, and take matters into their own hands.

Quoted for it’s truth. It’s about time that the majority of the Muslims, if they really want peace, stood together with the rest of the British people of ALL faiths and said “enough is enough”.
Let them show their true colours.

Clearly investing into two very similar designs for very similar role(s) is a waste of resources.

edit: Semi-Lobster beat me to my point

Fake

As J-20 implied, instead of simply saying “Fake” perhaps you could explain how you have reached that conclusion.

There are many many many many (repeat times infinity) cases of animal cruelty or human barbarism going on in this world. As has been said it’s just sad that a lot of people only give a damn when a celeb’ appears on tv or in the paper making us aware of it. For example, what about:

Shark fishermen in Asia using LIVE stray dogs and cats as bait to catch sharks

Tigers being killed for “exotic medicine”

Whales being hunted by Native Americans for tradition (anyone remember this a few years ago? Was raised by the media as non-natives…IE TOURISTS…were allowed “for a fee” to participate….the tourists using the very traditional M-16s and other assault rifles to kill these beautful creatures)

Rhino’s and Elephants still being hunted to extinction

Even fox hunting and badger baiting could be included for petes sake

The list goes on and on…and on and on and on and on and on…

Why is the S-300 still so feared? After all, NATO members such as Greece and Bulgarian have them in their arsenal and I don’t doubt US pilots have had plenty of chances to test their abilities.

I believe Iran would go much the same as Iraq, they would fail to organise an effective defence against Israel or US aircraft in time to counter the threats and any other air action following the initial attack would be the odd Iranian aircraft getting airborne in threes and fours only to be shot down.

I have always maintained that Iraq’s biggest mistake during the 1991 Gulf War was NOT taking the offensive against the allies. Had Iraq’s Air Force attempted a mass penetration of Saudi air space during the build up to Desert Shield/Storm and had hit US/Coalition aircraft and assets prior to US action against Iraq then the figures MAY have been different. The coalition STILL would have won but we MAY have seen US/Coalition air-to-air casualties…even if minor…and ccertainly aircraft destroyed on the ground.

If Iran wants victory against an Israeli aerial attack, then it’s only way forward is with a pre-emptive strike using Su-24’s hitting their airfields escorted by F-14s and praying to Allah that the Israeli’s are asleep.

That then raises the question of where these Su-24 and F-14s are gonna fly from? Syria, not likely. Syria has shown it is not prepared to risk an attack by Israeli forces. Saudi Arabia? Not likely due to the damage in relations this would cause with US, plus the fact that Iran and Saudi aren’t close. Libya perhaps? Libya would not want to damage improving relations with the West so no. So where then? Iran simply doesn’t have the means to carry out long range air strikes against Israel, with leaves the only option of a long range missile attack. But these are not accurate enough to ensure hitting a single Israeli air base, never mind the aircraft stationed there.

Iran has no defence against Israel, never mind the US, bar the threat of a mass missile strike on Israeli cities killing hundreds if not thousands of civilians.

Russian T-80U is a work of art in my opinion, followed a close second by the T-90 then Challenger 2 and Leopard 2A6 in equal third with the Chinese ZTZ-99 fourth 🙂
