As for USA help during the 1982 conflict, it was minimal. AIM-9Ls offered all aspect capability however all the SHAR sidewinder air-to-air kills were rear aspect.
The Argentinian airforce was beaten by the FAA in air-to-air due to better tactics and training. I will resist the cheap shot about who trained the Argentine airforce

I wouldn't call that an accurate depicting of the scenario: Argentinian jet had to fly all the way to the mainland, which meant they operated at the limits of their range, that in itself is enough of a big disadvantage me thinks.. and even if you have better tactics and training (which in this specific instance could be questionable anyway) you still need
something to shoot your opponents down other than cannons.
