Russia doesn't seem too worried about provoking Britain:
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is to conduct a review of its plans for the defence of the Falkland Islands following reports that Russia is to supply Argentina with Sukhoi Su-24 'Fencer' strike aircraft, UK media reported on 28 December.
The review follows a report in the Daily Express newspaper that Russia is to lease 12 Su-24s to the Argentine Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina - FAA) in return for foodstuffs.
On the day France finally sends that Mistral amphibious warfare ship to Russia, Britain could exercise the nullification option I wrote about and sell anti-ship missiles (and Mistral blueprints) to any state with a coastline bordering Russia.
