... I'd be grateful for opinions on an argument I was having in a completely different place. The argument goes that the GR9s that are a stop-gap replacement do not have air-to-air radar, and so are not as capable of defending the fleet, despite probably having a greater offensive capability. Does this argument hold water? Certainly does. See my response to Alf's post. -- Alan Erskine

Does this argument hold water? Certainly does. Rightly so - but of no consequense for the Falklands situation. The UK can strike any part of Argentina at any moment from the subs, and the Argie's know it. So they'll keep the peace at all cost. The population in Argentina would never accept another war - to many widows and war-cribled people from the last one . . . The last war was an attemt by the Junta to divert attention from their abuse of human rights - no such problems now. But if you wanna play "what if" - be my guest.
