I recall from somewhere that the Argentine Forces had 7-9 Exocet missiles. Had they been able to get more, the outcome would have been very different. As well. the two goalkeepers on the Argentine side would have been the Hercules and the Santissima Trinidad, both Type 42 pattern destroyers using the Sea Dart. Reloads would be forthcoming for these to say the least.
I agree with the other post regarding the runway on the Falklands. Were this usable, and a CAP could be run around the clock, the Pucaras may very well have been able to administer the coup de grace once the escorts and Harriers were dealt with.
