Argentina was a regional great power - in 1982. The military juna being booted led to 40 years of military being intentionally starved of funds. not helped by the fact half their equipment was British who embargoed them and even many of their french aircraft used Martin Baker ejector seats. That's why their Type 42 destroyer fell over and sank at anchor and prior to getting some 80s vintage F-16s they had literally no jets.

Also the whole economy collapsing and defaulting on their sovereign debt 6 times in that same period. It's sad like seeing an old top rated boxer with dementia and no hands.
