Argentina Unlikely' to Invade the Falklands – A Defence Minister (Andrew Robathan) has claimed that Argentina lacks the military might it had when the islands were invaded in 1982, and that it is highly unlikely Argentina will attempt to invade the Falkland Islands.   He went on to say that the UK Government retains the ability to increase its military presence on the islands ahead of next month's referendum on whether they should remain under British rule; and confirms that there are :

–       Four TYPHOON aircraft

–       An Infantry  Company

–       The Falkland Guardship. The Patrol Vessel CLYDE.

–       The Minister added: "There are also submarines capable of defending the islands", but he would not comment on their exact whereabouts.
