London Times cites defence analysts and a government reply to a Royal Navy message raising concern over Argentina's air force numbers near the Falklands. Thatcher's spokesman denies knowledge of any message exchange. Argentina fields about 240 combat planes to Britain's 20 carrier jets. War readiness increases as Pym seeks talks with Haig and Reagan, with pessimism toward a ceasefire. Galtieri orders 9,000 troops to defend the islands as winter looms and weather narrows air advantage.
