Could Argentina take over the Falklands today? (2017) 

Funny thing is that most of the current Argentinian air force are the exact same planes that fought in the Falklands by that I don't mean the same models of aircraft I mean the original aircraft

Don't underestimate the Argentine submarines.. they're so stealthy not even the Argies can find them.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Binkov announce the results of a video at the beginning, that’s how one-sided this is

I hope that England and the whole United Kingdom will never forget the help that Chile gave.

It was just on news. Argentine invasion force tried to invade Falklands last week, but the 3 dingies from Aldi got punctures, while still being blown up on the beach. One soldier had to be rushed home for some corned beef after feeling dizzy from blowing.

I'm argentinian, and this video is absolutely accurate, or at least 90% accurate. Politics has destroyed and keeps destroying our country.

The thing is simple, we, the Argentinians didint have to start that awful war, just Galtieri wanted to flex and try to dont loose power in that period of time, and the shot came back, and im sayng that as an nationalist. We need to admit. We dont have anything better to give to the Kelpers (Falklanders, Malvinences) We dont have a good goverment since the XX century, We dont have a good military budget and forces to protect them, the only things that we can give to them would be, corruption, hunger, high crime rates and poverty. Its all we have atm. The military branches, they are ok only in moral and money, but they lack of equipment, an example. Our pilots have to wait minimum 4 years after their entire training to finally can fly a plane because we have almost no planes. We lost 1 Submarine last year supposedly to a malfunction of a battery (Not so much people are sure about that) the other 2 submarines are in maintenance about 8 or 5 years i think, our naval army is very weak in ships and ammunition. And now, Macri have deployed some troops to the frontiers to fight the drug trafficking that is going on in the north of the country, along side with Gendarmeria that it was part of the Military but it was separated to be an Federal Force (The best

I’ve never heard the term “Argies” until I went through this comment section. I prefer it since it’s way more simple than saying “Argentinians” or “Argentines”

You missed that there is almost always a British nuclear submarine in the area.

Wow I had no idea there was so much military equipment and personnel down there, especially surprised at the Typhoons, they cost a fortune, like 100 million each.

UK:- Hey wanna hear a joke ? Argentina:- okay....go ahead UK:- Falkland Islands Argentina :- I don't get it. UK:- *EXACTLY*

The Falklands should be renamed Argentinain't

"...right off the bat, Argentina can't take the Falklands." Teeheehee

Please do UK vs Spain over Gibraltar.

Argentina: Invades Falklands United Kingdom: Hold my tea

I remember the Gurkha's were real pissed because the wanted to get a hacking with there knives. Argies thought sod that and quit (sensible move really)

This comment section is full of proud brits, triggered argentines and oblivious Americans.

Argentina couldn't invade Morrisons if they tried...

I’d take one SAS soldier armed with a spoon over the entire Argentinian Navy.

Hey everyone! We are making a series of history of warfare kind of videos on the Graphy app. We call it War Transformed: share.graphyapp.co/MHNG So if that's your thing, if you like us talking about history in general, how tech influenced development, how certain new weapons influenced warfare - feel free to check it out!

I came for salty argies and wasn’t disappointed haha

Hey Binkov INDIA Vs Pakistan next please ! 😇

Can we have a video about that fleet Pepsi bought from the soviets VS the Argentine military? sounds like it would be a good matchup

Pepsi could beat Argentina

"War is a place where young people who do not know each other and do not hate each other kill each other, because of the decision of old people who know and hate each other, but do not kill each other". Erich Hartman (THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE)

This comment section is almost as salty as the south atlantic.

Argentina: *Invades the Falklands again* GB: How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!

Iam from Chile, if Britain needs help, we are glad to help.

So basically the uk beats the whole entire Argentina army with what's left on the falklands lol

Basically, The Falklands should be renamed, Islands Argentina can’t get

Came here for salty Argies and I wasn’t disappointed, God save the Queen hahaha!

I was there in 1982, HMS Cardiff.

Historical constant: a military can be good at either fighting foreigners or controlling its own people, not both. Nations with a history of military coups rarely do well in foreign wars.

Fuck whatever else you're doing, this is so much more important

At the time, the British armed forces were led by a general who had fought in Normandy against the Wehrmacht, an admiral who had fought in the Battle of the North Cape, and a chief air marshal who had been over Berlin ten times in Lancaster. led by an admiral as chief of staff who had been in the Maltese convoys. It's hard to think of a more foolish decision than to fight men like that, who were ultimately backed by politicians. Having said all that the Argntine commanders did have some experience in shooting demonstrators, trade unionists and communists; and dropping 30,000 argentine civilians from a helicopter into the Atlantic Ocean.... But nobody who could fight back

The Falkland penguins want you to do an Argentina vs Falkland penguins conflict. After the emu victory in emus v Australians the penguins fancy their chances.

Can you do Burger King Vs McDonalds next please.

Iran vs Saudia arabia next please

Argentina sends an invasion fleet towards the Falklands. The 4 British Fighter Pilots in Port Stanley play Paper, Rock Scissors to work out which one of them gets to go and sink. The three ancient 30ft Boats heading there way.

I can't believe you sided with the UK for once

As Argentinian I think we would lose less money as British colony than with our corrupts pig politicians. Please England, invade Argentina, we still have some British roots, we play rugby and polo

All you people in the comments section don't understand the real struggle of the Falklands. The Islands are not rightful territory of Argentina OR The United Kingdom. It was, is, and will continue to be part of the Great Penguin Empire! All hail God-Emperor Mr. Tuxedoface!

No penguins died in the making of this video.

I'm more shocked that 1300 people in Argentina can afford an internet connection.

And it only gets worse for Argentina, as the first Queen Elizabeth class supercarrier will be ready for launch after 2017. Meaning the UK will have power projection equivalent to a US carrier battle group.

Basically Argentina isn't prepared to fight another war and UK is. Good video, but no mention of UK's nuclear submarines?

Argentine ships sink by themselves even when they're docked, and almost all their fighters are outdated and grounded due to lack of maintenance and cannibalization. Those facts are enough to make any further explanation unnecessary.

Britain settled the Falklands long before Argentina was founded.

For those who think that Chile betrayed Argentina: Argentina agrees with Chile to solve the Beagle conflict peacefully in 1971 (Salvador Allende and Alejandro Lanusse, the Presidents of Chile and Argentina's Junta sign a treaty). In May 1977 the arbitration gives the islands in the Beagle to Chile. in February 1978 Argentina's Junta declares the arbitration completely invalid. And requests the islands to be given to Argentina immediately. Chile asks Argentina to respect their word (and the treaty) but la junta doesnt give shit about honor and treaties. And threatens Chile to give the Islands or face a full-scale invasion (operacion soberania) Does that attitude sound familiar? Thanks to the USA's pressure, and the fact that Chileans, 3 times weaker in those years, still prepared full defense till the last minute, Argentinians withdrew from attacking. But until 1984 they refused to sign a treaty of peace and friendship, honoring the arbitration. So when they did the same thing to the British, well, what do you expect? Chileans were not going to be friends with a neighbor who did not want peace, instead has been threatening them with full-scale war against them. It's simple. Chile made sure that Argentina lost the war bc that way that dangerous, murderer, and aggressive junta would be dissolved and then, we could finally have some peace.

Could you do Australia vs. Indonesia, and North vs. South Korea

It sounds to me like Argentina is virtually defenseless. I think a well coordinated boy scout troop might actually be able to occupy most of their country.

Argentina: Right what can we do about reclaiming the Falklands General: *points at white board* White board: Were fucked

Not to mention that the U.K. like many NATO countries has experienced leadership and veteran soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan. The Navy has two brand new large aircraft carriers which will soon embark the F-35 and RAF Typhoons would be more than a match for old Mirage III's.

Europe versus Russia. No American or international troops.

I cannot find this place called "malvinas" anywhere on the map - must get off freeway at place called "Falklands" to ask for directions

Another Great Vid Binkov !! 👍

Please continue to do realistic scenarios where there is tension/probability of conflict (it will get you more views as well!), e.g. Iran vs Saudi Arabia China vs Japan China vs Taiwan India vs Pakistan India vs China South Korea vs North Korea ____________________ Other interesting scenarios could be: Malaysia vs Singapore Isreal vs Arab Alliance Australia vs Indonesia

Argentinians are TRIGGERED by this video.

That 1.1k dislikes are from angry argies

I'm actually surprised Argentinians have internet to be able to comment on how annoyed they are about losing

Colombia VS Venezuela would be a good video

Respect to UK from France :) Can you do a France VS Iran please ? :)

"And in other news, an Amazon delivery drone-blimp takes down entire Argentine airforce in pitched dogfight."

The UK is the second most powerful navy in the Atlantic, and last I checked, the Falklands were in the Atlantic. The only country who could take them is the US.

Holy bullshit. Argentina can win this time. Because they have *Messi*

Sinking the belgrano was justified as the British saw that the Argies didn’t have good submarines like the UK and so turned the Belgrano into a submarine

Loved the video

Sad...I'm Argentinian and mi Uncle Lost His Life in Falklands/Malvinas war...

great to see ylu again Comissar! heres an idea: Australia vs Indonesia

Holy shit I requested this! Thank you so much! Keep up the good work, we love you!

I would love to see an update to this scenario after the Queen Elizabeth becomes fully operational.

British aircraft carriers make this completely impossible, even if the Argentine military budget goes up by 3-4x, the only chance they had was before the Queen Elizabeth class carriers were complete.

sweden vs finland, sweden trying too retake the Åland island group

Do Brazil vs. Argentina. Or do Switzerland's ability to defend itself against EU invasion, or perhaps just France or Germany.

I'm from argentina and I can't stop laughing with the comments. (I mean, being in favor of the british view.).

Also the type 45 missile destroyer currently defending them theoretically has the capability to shoot down all of the offensive part of the Argentinan air force, then start on the training and cargo planes before it'd have to reload.

I already knew who was going to win before I clicked but it felt good to hear it.

Australia vs NewZealand

Im argentinian, and to answer this, we couldnt in 82, we couldnt have in 2017 and guess what, hasnt changed.

When Argentina invades you with a big force but you just defeat them with a smaller forces *laughs in British*

England vs the rest of the UK lol

you should do Canada vs anybody I wonder if there's anyone Canada can beat

Argentina might be one of the greatest countries that never was. Wonderful people, great farming lands and sadly they dance with socialism and communism and fascism like a bad tango. corruption bleeds this beautiful woman like Dracula.

Very informative.

One thing I will say about Argentina's air force in 82 They were extremely brave and talented they proved that You missed out fact us Brits will always have Subs in the area they are game changers

I accept, im argentinian, you British have better army, enjoy the falklands.

0:22 the answer is they would get massacred cos they just let us make 2 new aircraft carriers with the most advanced jets on the planet

Do not worry United Kingdom from Chile we will always support you, with everything you need, 👍

Stay of our islands Argentina!

Thank you listening and doing this video! Another interesting concept could be the UK against Germany in keeping with the revisiting history. Two European powerhouses situated closely together with both sides having respectable militaries should make it interesting! Or if you want to take a break from the UK as you've done a number of videos on them, an interesting one would be perhaps Iran vs Israel? Could be quite fun basing a video in the Middle East

Basically the Argentine military was much more powerful in 1982 and the British position is much better in the theater than in 1982.

If the ship on rotation is one of the newer ones it could take down their entire airforce by it's self, those ships are brutal.

Two of my favorite countries in the world. A pity they have such strained relations.

I'm argentinian and it really makes me sad reading those comments of british people that say all bad things about Argentina, and they don't even know that Argentina wants peace, our country don't like war, actually, they only have those military force for caution and for our country. Also, I can't believe other british insulting our "SOLDIERS" of that time, THEY WEREN'T EVEN SOLDIERS, they almost didn't have training! I thought that british were serious and maybe intelligent people, come on...

Don't forget St. Helena's brand new airport/air strip. This is a British dependent island between Ascension and the Falkland Island's and could be used as a stepping stone for reinforcements. It is live as of 2018.

Na, it wont happen, here in Argentina the biggest percentage of the population is pretty chill about the Falklands/Malvinas. We will greet you with good meat and Tango if you come to our country and I hope if we go the Falklands as tourists you will greet us with the best fish and chips 😜

Excellent presentation

Reminds me of when you go up an era playing civilisation and some opponents keep their warriors with swords while you've upgraded to guns.

Historical Thing i just found out: the british brigade that was permanently standing in the Falklands composed of royal marines, Held off the initial Argentinian Attack, Blew up a Helicopter, destroyed an incoming troop lander on a beach, and Disabled an argentinian submarine (didnt sink, but was unusable for the war), and then held on in port stanley until they ran out of ammo, and the argentinians threatened to napalm port stanley, so they surrendered.

"Unlike other South American countries, Argentina doesn't rely on conscripts" and I think it's better that way. In 1982 we relied on conscripts, got our ass beaten hard anyway and we destroyed many of our young men's lives, who didn't even want to be soldiers, they just wanted to go to college in their hometowns and live a peaceful civilian life. Let those who want to be soldiers be soldiers, let them earn their bread and butter with their profession, and that's it. No need to have a military force capable of invading anything when we don't really want to invade anything, it's dumb. And it's the safe way, we don't want a crazy sucker like Galtieri with their hands on a military force capable of going out to cause mischief around.
