If you read up on the Falklands War, it's real scary to realise that the Brits really had more balls than brains. They didn't win that war through co petence, as much as the Argies lost it through incompetence.
That takes nothing away from the sheer daring of the Black Buck raids, or of many other happenings in that war, but I doubt anyone would attempt the same in the modern context.
I also have watched that and one land battle. Lots of guts and determination.
Today I would guess the drones and missiles would determine the outcome.
