I ahve nothing but the deepest respect for your military especially your air force. Common people only know that Argentina lost the Falklands war but they don't know that it was a very very close battle and could have gone either way. I especially respect the Super Etendardand Skyhawk pilots. It is a well known fact that many of the bombs dropped at sea level by the Skyhawkpilots on the royal navy ships had faulty fuses and they did not go off. If they had not malfunctioned, the war would have ended differently.

First of all welcome it is nice to have a member from Argentina. Yes I am aware of what Ronal Reagan did by providing the latest missiles to the RAF. When people accused Tony Blair of being a Bush poodle forgot that the close alliance between USA and UK has always assured that in time of need USA stands by UK. My score card on the performance of Argentine military in Falklands Conflict in order is. Navy - Fail. Army-Fail. Airforce-Pass with distinction.
Your airforce did a fantastic job. It appears that despite the advantages to the British your airforce pilots were brave and inflicted the most damage on the enemy.
I won't bother with mentioning your navy which should have stayed in port instead of being sunk like Admiral Belgrano.But the biggest failure was your army.
You had too many poor quality troops on the islands. A smaller, highly motivated force would have beaten back British infantry attacks. Instead except for a few marines the rest just surrenderd. What is your view why that happened? On the ground it was a very equal fight but if your infantry had shown half the gumption of your pilots I think you would have won.
