The Argentine Super Etendards are in storage due to lack of spare parts and budget. Their fuselages have a high potential for use since they were not flown intensively. Recently Argentina purchased the last 5 SEM that flew in the French Navy and all the remaining spare parts to put the SUE and SEM family back into service. Five aircraft are already ready for flight, awaiting a solution to the ejector seat issue.

Your point about the lack of RN airborne early warning is very apt. Crowsnest is better than nothing but… Still ridiculous. Why , in the name of reason, would you pay billions for aircraft carrier strike groups without a few million more to protect them properly? Yes - I get it. The USN will do the job mostly and the Ski Ramp makes it awkward. But…

A very unimpressive aircraft when compared to what other navies were flying at the time. It got lucky in the Falklands because the British had no Airborne Early Warming aircraft with the Task Force. So had no long range warning, but the attacks were successfully counter except fo Sheffield which had radar issues and Atlantic Conveyor which was a civilian ship with no countermeasures. Glamorgan was damaged by a ground launched Excocet.

With at the max. 24 Sea Harriers it’s impossible to fly a fleet CAP and do effective combat support, needed maintenance, etc. The British where also very lucky Uncle Sam priority send them shiny new all aspect AIM 9L Sidewinders. If France would not have stopped deliveries of air launch able Exocets to Argentina the British fleet would have been decimated. BTW the Atlantic Conveyor was an important asset so would have been at the core of the protected force of the fleet formation. It being hit is a failure of the air defense frigates. Sure Atlantic Conveyor had no CIWS but those weapon systems became popular for a very easy to guess reason after the Falklands War. Maybe the British where lucky the Atlantic Conveyor took the missile. I’m sure the Argentinians thought the large radar blip was one of the carriers.
