1982-2006, Chronology of the South Atlantic War, day by day

Any report on a ‘headless sentry’ ?

I am sorry Cuts… I do not understand, sorry! could you explain me what do you want?

Thank you and sorry again.

May 21 st

Days before the Argentine intelligence ensured to the Argentine government that the so waited British landing would be in the San Carlos Channel, between the to main islands, in order to put a massive group of troops in the Soledad island, or East Falkland island, so that an Argentine group of 50 soldiers were moved from Darwin, the nearest Argentine garrison.


Port San Carlos

At the early morning the group detected into the channel ten British ships, with a huge vessel as the mother ship. She was the Canberra. With her, at least six combat vessels, a couple of landing ships and both assault ships were in position.
The landing mission had started. The group communicated the situation immediately to Argentine Port, but the information was so alarming that the authorities at first thought that was a joke from Chilean radio-enthusiast in order to confuse the Argentine forces.

Landing boats advancing from the assault ship HMS Fearless

To confirm the possible landing, a mission of the only combat jets in the archipelagos, the Navy MB-339 Aermacchi was prepared. When two aircraft were ready to depart, one of them showed failures and only one could take off.
The Argentine pilot reached San Carlos and confirmed the enemy movements, and then prepared an attack with his weapons (his light cannon and rockets), reaching and damaging the frigate HMS Argonaut, and then at max power in his engine, the pilot succeeded miraculously in his escape, between heavy AAA and SAM fire.

After the first Aerial attack the British forces started the massive landing, but the British command didn’t have knowledge about the advanced group of the Argentine Army, which was hide at the San Carlos hills. Two Sea King helicopters were sent to mark the beaches, but they passed over the defence, and after a heavy fire, both machines were shoot down. As the landing was in risk, two attack helicopters Gazelle were sent to suppress de Argentine forces, but they only found more resistance, and one of them was shoot down, and the other returned to the fleet fuming.
It was the hour and the massive landing started. A lot of landing boats reached the cost, and PARAs and Royal Marines landed, and immediately tried to locate the enemy forces, but they arranged themselves to escape divided in two groups, one of them to Darwin and the other to the capital.


A British Gazelle

In the continent the information of a massive landing was confirmed, and the only force that could stop or retain the beach head was the combat Aviation, the Air Force and the Naval Aviation Command.
The authorities decided to make four main missions, with 12 to 16 aircraft each one. The Command thought that so many machines would be a problem to the British defences.

That four missions reached San Carlos, the first at 1330Z (09:30hs local), the second at 1600Z (12:00hs local), the third at 1700Z (13:00hs local) and the last at 1815Z (14:15hs local). Aircrafts A-4B Skyhawk, A-4C Skyhawk and Mirage V “Dagger” from the Air Force, and A-4Q Skyhawk from the Navy were used in those missions.

During the attack the Royal Navy was reached in six of her ships, one of them (the frigate Ardent) was sunk, another was put out of service (the frigate Argonaut), and four more were damaged (the frigate Broadsword, the frigate Yarmouth, the destroyer Antrim, and an NN landing ship). But the Argentine Aviations effort didn’t succeed, because the mother ships (the Canberra, the landing ships and the assault ships) weren’t put out of service, and the landing continued.

The British defences shoot down at ten combat aircrafts, and nine of them were victims of the modern (by that ages) missile AIM-9L Sidewinder launched by the Sea Harriers. Five Mirage V Daggers, two A-4C Skyhawk and three A-4Q Skyhawk aircraft were shoot down, and six of the ten pilots could escape ejecting themselves from the aircraft.

That was the first day of a bloody battle, the biggest aerial-naval battle on the history (excluding all the battles from the II World War), which would go on for five more days.

In other activities of the war, a RAF Harrier was shoot down by a ManPAD missile, and the pilot was taken as prisoner.
Argentine aircrafts Pucará were destroyed by British fire, and Darwin and Goose Green villages were bombed.

This is taking ever such a long time.

Skip to the end where we win.

And you try to skip the idiotic comments and let the other membes post good information in peace as Eagle did.

Panzer is the first time that you defend me in the forum, certeanly thank you… I didn’t expect that.

Viste…? siempre hay una primera vez, vos postea tranquilo y no hagas caso a los giles. :wink:

Yeah, but it’s strange from 1000ydstare, he always was interested in the topic, and treated all the members seriously and with respectable terms…

May 23 rd

Again the main battles were based on the Falkland Sound (for the British maps), or San Carlos Strait (for the Argentine maps). The day before, the 22 nd, the bad weather was a luck to the British landing, because of the lack of Argentine combat aircrafts that could delay or retain the landing, facilitated the movement to the beach of a lot of supplies, ammunition, SAM batteries, AAA weapons, and troops without any resistance of the Argentine forces.


With the landing advancing, an armoured vehicle Scimitar is alert in Port San Carlos

During the day over the beach head the Argentine aviation launched two waves of attacks with aircrafts Mirage V “Dagger”, A-4B Skyhawk and A-4Q Skyhawk.
A group of A-4B Skyhawk detected and attacked the frigate HMS Antelope, depositing a thousand pounds MK-17 bomb in the ship. In the attack the AAA fire of the Antelope could reach an A-4, whose pilot lost the controls and crashed itself over the frigate.


An illustration of the attack of the pilot Guadagnini, damaged dropping his bomb

Six Mirage V Dagger reached San Carlos, but the Royal Navy had detected them with precedence, and the Sea Harriers were patrolling all the beach head. When the Dagger pilots detected that they decided to come back to the continent at max speed. But the Harriers were too close to the Argentinians. A Sidewinder was launched and a Mirage V was shoot down, killing the pilot.

An attack of four A-4Q Skyhawk from the Argentine Navy failed their bombs, and only limited the raid at a cannon firing attack over combat ships in San Carlos.
In the return a pitiful fact was made. One of the A-4Q hadn’t dropped the bombs in the attack, and in the landing a tire exploded because of the excessive weight (the Skyhawk couldn’t land with the maximum charge of supplementary fuel tanks and bombs, as the most of the combat aircrafts), and the aircraft started a non-controlled running from all over the airbase. With the knowledge of the danger that he was suffering, the pilot thought that if the landing train didn’t support the maneuver the bombs would hit the ground with all the weight of the Skyhawk, and they would explode, so that decided to eject, but he was so unlucky that the parachute-opening system failed, and he was ejected but crashed himself heavily against the floor, dying.
Surprisingly the aircraft didn’t show signs of damage, and with the replacement of the tire, the ejectable seat and the cockpit glass, the A-4 was able to be used again.
(As a black anecdote, that Skyhawk is the only aircraft in latin America and one of the few one-seat aircrafts in the world that killed two pilots who were in its commands in different situations. The Skyhawk crashed I 1986 in an exercise.)


The A-4Q Skyhawk

Returning to the May 23 rd’s actions, three helicopters tried to attack the light ship Monsumen near the Bougainville island, but the Argentine crew could escape hiding the machine between kelps.

The Harriers launched a massive aerial attack against the three insular airbases that were in service, in Darwin, in Pebble or Borbon island, and the other in the capital, without serious damages to the defence.

At night the bomb that was deposited in the HMS Antelope was accidentally activated by British experts, and exploded sinking the frigate.

Twelve hours later, the view was tragic. The frigate was broken in two parts, sinking itself slowly, while helicopters and ships were trying to recover all that they could

In the day the British forces lost a frigate, and the Argentine forces two aircrafts (an A-4B and a Dagger) and three pilots. According to the victims over the Antelope, the number was really small because the frigate had been evacuated before the attempt of annulling the bombs.

May, 24 th

According to the San Carlos battle, the British beach head was almost complete, and missiles Sea Cat, Sea Dart, Rapier and Blowpipe were alert the 24 hours.


A battery of SAM Rapiers

The fleet of A-4Q of the Navy was extremely reduced and preferred to leave the possibility of attack that day. Aircrafts from the Argentine Air Force would attack not only the ships, the troops and supplies in the beach head too. Six A-4B Skyhawk, eight A-4C Skyhawk and six Mirage V Dagger reached San Carlos.
A group of the Daggers attacked the beach head, damaging fuel stores. The A-4Bs attacked the landing ships, and the Sir Galahad and Sir Lancelot were damaged. The A-4Cs attacked to the frigate HMS Arrow, damaging it seriously.


An unbelievable photograph of a Mirage V Dagger flying extremely close to the waters and the British ships. That image was taken on May 24 th.

The AAA was really high shooting down an A-4, and taking the pilot as prisoner.
But the British reaction was high. The Harriers detected the Daggers and shoot down one of them.

In other actions on the conflict, six Harriers attacked heavily the airbase of Port Stanley or Argentine Port, touching the runway, but not destroying it. The Argentine AAA defence was surprised, and when it tried to answer, only one aircraft was in a range of shot, which was attacked and damaged.

May, 25 th

As is known, the day May 25 th is one of the two most important patriotic date of Argentina (the other is the Independence Day, July the 9 th), and is remembered the May’s Revolution, when the Argentine people raised against the Spanish Viceroy and started all the Latin American movement to repel the Spanish Empire of all the American continent.
As a coincidence, that day in 1982 was the most successful to the Argentine Combat Aviation.

The Head Beach in San Carlos was completed, and all the anti-aircraft systems were ready to eliminate any Argentine aircraft that would try to attack them.
In order to have a new alert system, the Royal Navy moved the destroyer HMS Coventry and the frigate HMS Broadsword at the North of Pebble or Borbon island, where the ships could track and attack any Argentine aircraft trying to get in the San Carlos Strait, or Falkland Sound.
The Argentine intelligence detected the presence of the radar-picket, and suggested to destroy it in order to have more freedom to introduce aircraft to San Carlos.


frigate HMS Broadsword

Again the battles were between the Argentine Aviation and the British ships. The Air Force prepared to big attacks, both with Skyhawks. The first, with six A-4C Skyhawk would attack the San Carlos Channel, entering from the South, and the second, with four A-4Bs would attack the radar-picket of the Broadsword and the Coventry.
By her own, the Argentine Navy ordered to use two of the three AM-39 Exocet from stock in a new mission, with Super Etendards.

In the attack of the A-4C the attack was concreted against the assault ship HMS Fearless and the frigate HMS Avenger, both slightly damaged. But the British defence reached all the A-4s, shooting down two of them, and damaging seriously the others. One of the pilot died, and the other was took as prisoner by the crew of the Fearless, the same ship that he had attacked.

The A-4Bs were advancing to the radar-picket, when they were detected.
A group of Sea Harrier CAPs offered to the ships aerial support, but the ships were so advantaged with his modern defence systems that simply rejected them.
That wasn’t so crazy, because the ships were at open sea, with the systems Sea Wolf, that was one of the best SAM in the world by 1982, capable of shoot down any aircraft or missile in a range of 5 miles without problem, and the capability of maneuver of this missile is so high that it would be almost impossible to any aircraft without anti-missile systems to avoid it. Furthermore, although the medium-range Sea Dart wasn’t so spectacular as the other missile system, it would a fatal combination for any pilot joint with the AAA from the Broadsword and the Coventry. Concluding, when the radar-picket rejected the help of the Sea Harriers, they sentenced their own luck.
The Skyhawks started the last stretch without the safety of the terrain, only with the sea under them. When the A-4s were in shot position, a terrible error happened and the Sea Wolf system, on board of the Broadsword failed.
In second term the Coventry started the defence, launching a Sea Dart against the raid, but the position of the pilots, with the sun on their back, they made evasive maneuvers and the missile failed his objective.
Surprisingly the Sea Wolf system was restored before the Argentine attack, but the raid was so close that the Coventry advanced a few yards in order to have a better shot position with her AAA weapons. That was a tragedy to the radar-picket, because the destroyer blocked the direction of the Sea Wolf missiles launch.
Only with the AAA against them, the attackers divided the squad in two sections, one per ship. The Broadsword received the impact of a bomb, that didn’t exploded but destroyed a lot of important systems in her way, including the Lynx of the frigate.
The Coventry was more unlucky. Two bombs exploded into the destroyer. The damage was so high that the ship only stayed in the surface an hour. After that she overturned by larboard and sunk minutes later. Nineteen sailors died on the Coventry.

The Coventry exploding

In the last attack of the day, the Argentine Navy ordered to two Super Etendards to attack a group of great vessels, possibly the aircraft carriers, sailing at the North of the Soledad island, or East Falkland island.
With a missile AM-39 Exocet each aircraft, they refuelled from a KC-130H and continued their mission. When they were reaching the shot range, the fleet detected them, and put in service all the counter-missile systems.
In the radar of the Super Etendards appeared a group of big and small ships, between them, the HMS Invincible, the HMS Hermes, several frigates, and the SS Atlantic Conveyor, which was advancing to San Carlos in order to land a very valuable charge of helicopters, blood to the wounded soldiers, ammunition and a lot of several supplies.
The Exocets were launched and the Etendards came back, with some SAM missiles following them.
An AM-39 was repelled, but the other catched the Atlantic Conveyor, exploding in his pope. The giant vessel with all his charge burned by a couple of days, and then sank in the South Atlantic.

In other facts, three Harriers were repelled by the AAA in Soledad island, or East Falkland island in a British aerial attack against the Argentine positions.

On May 25 th Argentina got real success against the United Kingdom, sinking two ships, and reaching three more and three aircraft. If that situation had been obtained on May 21 th, the British possibilities of making a Beach Head weren’t a lot. But by that day, May 25 th although the success, the battle for San Carlos had finished, won by the Great Britain forces. With that attacks the San Carlos battle finished after five bloody days of combats.

British loses:

*Destroyer HMS Coventry sunk
*Giant cargo ship SS Atlantic Conveyor sunk
*Frigate HMS Broadsword out of combat, severely damaged
*Frigate HMS Avenger damaged
*Assault ship HMS Fearless damaged
*Helicopter Lynx destroyed
*Three Harriers touched
*30 lives

Argentine loses:

*1 A-4B Skyhawk
*2 A-4C Skyhawk
*Two pilots dead
*A pilot took as prisoner

May 26th

As was predicted, the United Kingdom after the heavy loses that the Argentine Aviation made the day before, it started a massive reprisal attacks against the Argentine Forces. Moreover, with the landing finished the order of advance was given to the Royal Marines and the Paras, while the 5th Brigade with the Scot guards, Welsh guards and Ghurkas were arriving on board of the Queen Elizabeth II.


British soldiers in the Falkland/Malvinas islands

The reprisals started at night with naval artillery against the Fox Bay, in the Gran Malvina, or West Falkland. There were several dead soldiers and wounded.
The Naval Artillery was present in the airport of Argentine Port too. A group of ships bombed the establishment.
Hours later the Harriers launched their attacks, against Howard (in Gran Malvina / West Falkland), and Argentine Port, or Stanley. There were a lot of victims again.

The Argentine attacks were limited, only a group of Mirage V Daggers dropped bombs over the British Forces in the ground, at night hours, and two IA-58 Pucará, from Darwin, advanced against the Beach Head launching rockets.

Argentine loses:

*An IA-58 Pucara destroyed in ground by enemy bombing.
*Two artillery pieces damaged by enemy bombing.
*Twelve lives
*Twenty wounded.

May 28th /29th

Darwin and Goose Green Battle.

British forces:

The ground forces moved to the zone were the PARA-2 with 350 soldiers, supported by a group of 200 Royal Marines, that was expected to provide anti aerial defence.
As heavy weapons, there were 6/8 artillery pieces, mortars and an important number of Milan missiles.
The advantage of using helicopters as a logistic medium was extremely important for the British forces.
The aerial support was provided by RAF Harriers and Scout helicopters, armed with A-S missiles, as the naval support would had been provided by the HMS Antrim.


Milan antitank and antibunker weapon

Argentine forces:

The ground forces were infantry forces from the Argentine army, specifying, from the Regiments 12 and 25.
Their heavy weapons were three 105mm cannons and a handful of mortars.
The Argentine attack helicopters A-109 and SA-316 weren’t used, and the aerial support was limited to the archipelago bases’ aircrafts, as the IA-58 Pucará from the Air Force and the MB-339 Aermacchi, from the Navy. There weren’t any naval support for the Argentine defence.


Argentine forces in Darwin, formed before the battle

The British attack started against Darwin, supported by the Artillery and the HMS Antrim weapons, which was based on the Falkland Sound, or San Carlos Strait.
The power of fire coming from the Antrim and the British Artillery, with a longer range of action than the Argentine units were the key to start the battle advancing quickly with the PARAS.
But a half hour later, the weapons systems of the Antrim failed, and the British attackers suffered a lot the Argentine defences, and they were forced to stop their advance.


Soldiers from the PARA-2 in the archipelago

At dawn the aerial units presented combat. The British forces were benefited by the Scouts armed with missiles, but the Pucarás and Aermacchis were really useful, attacking with rockets and cannons.
Hours later an Argentine section started a counter-attack repelling from Darwin to the PARAS, but with the aerial support and the lack of ammunition and logistic from the Argentine attackers, they recaptured quickly the village.

With Goose Green as the last post of Command, the Argentine forces were reorganized. A group of Hueys and Chinooks were moved from Argentine Port with a force of infantry in order to reinforce the settlement. The Pucarás continued their attacks and destroyed several equipments with CAS missions, and a Scout was shoot down by that Argentine aircrafts. The British AA systems shoot down a handful of Pucarás and Aermacchis too.


Argentine helicopters in the reinforcement from Kent to Darwin

The British reorganized their forces. Harriers bombed the Argentine artillery, and the last Argentine heavy weapons of Goose Green were out of service by the attacks. The British Artillery and the section of Milan shooters were moved at the outsides of Goose Green.

The battle continued in Goose Green, and a lot of soldiers died there, specially the Argentine defenders in the school of that village.
With the half of the village taken, the Air Force units returned to the action, but that time not with the aircraft. All the personal of the Goose Green airbase, including pilots and mechanicals defended their positions with fury, using rifles, grenades, the AAA weapons aiming at the floor, not the sky as they were used to, and also were used the rocket batteries of the Pucarás attached on farm tractors.

The school of Darwin, where more than 30 Argentinians died

Although the last hours the Argentine defence was higher than the other lengths of the battle, the British attackers were surrounding all the perimeter of Goose Green, and the Argentine surrender was agreed to the morning of the 29th

The British lost 20 men that day, including their Chief Commander. The Argentine loses reached the 200 deaths.

[b]May 30th

The most polemic attack.[/b]

In all the war and in this forum too, the attack of the 30th day of May was a real polemic.

On May 29th the Argentine Intelligence, tracking the landings (disappearances from radar) of the Harriers and helicopters, all of them in the same place, had detected at least one of the British aircraft carriers.
As a quick decision, the last AM-39 Exocet had been prepared. Furthermore, the Air Force selected four A-4C Skyhawks in order to reinforce the attack.

The plan said that after the refuelling, two Super Etendards (one of them with the AM-39 Exocet, the other as system support) from the Navy, and four A-4C Skyhawk (armed with three 250lbs bombs each one) from the Air Force would follow the route on a level with sea, selecting the pilot of Super Etendard the major signal of his radar, launching the missile and then, the A-4Cs would follow the AM-39 and drop their bombs over the ship.


An A-4 Skyhawk refuelling

BRITISH VERSION:

In their last length of the advance, six aircraft were detected advancing quickly against the carriers group. Immediately later the detection, a seventh object was detected. It was an anti-ship missile, launched from the enemy aircrafts.
The frigate HMS Avenger and the destroyer HMS Exeter opened fire with their AAA weapons when they had visual contact with the missile, shooting it down.
A minute later, the raid of Skyhawks continued, although the lost of two of them with SAMs and AAA from the British ships.
The survivors dropped their bombs over the Avenger, which was slightly damaged.
The HMS Invincible was not protagonist of the battle, because it was at ten miles away the attack box.


frigate HMS Avenger

ARGENTINE VERSION:

After the refuelling of the six aircraft from two KC-130H Hercules, the pilot of Super Etendard detected several marks in the affixed place, and launched the Exocet against the major of them.


Photograph taken that May 30th from a KC-130H, the last missile is shown by the Super Etendard which es being provided of fuel. Behind it, the Skyhawks are having a refuel by another KC-130H.

Immediately the Super Etendards returned, and the A-4C followed the missile until the pilots lost of view the AM-39, but seconds later they saw an explosion and smoke in front of them.
Combat ships at their sides attacked them with SAMs and AAA, shooting down an A-4 a couple of miles before its objective, and a second only a mile before the A-4 could reach the ship which the raid was going to attack. Before being shoot down, the pilot of that A-4 shouted by his radio: “That’s the carrier!!”.
The pilots, with a 100% view capability identified the ship as “a big vessel with a plane platform, a huge tower and two chimneys”.
They bombed the ship successfully, which was in a shock state after the hit of the AM-39 Exocet, fuming heavily.


An A-4C dropping its bombs

In their return, at the second refuel, when they were asked about the other Skyhawks, they affirmed: “We lost them before reaching the Aircraft Carrier

When they landed, they were separated and interrogated by their superiors. Both agreed in the description of a huge majestic white vessel, with a plane platform. All the silhouettes of ships of the Royal Navy were shown to them, and both agreed in the same… the Aircraft Carrier HMS Invincible. Although a lot of people thought that they could imagine the aircraft carrier, because of the extremely danger, the shocking situation of being between heavy fire and the importance of the mission, but it is not so probably, having in account that the pilots of the A-4 were in similar situations before, in the middle of San Carlos battle.


The pilots of A-4 who survived, with the French ace Pierre Closterman

Moreover, sounds weird that minutes after the attack, all the CAPs of Sea Harriers would stopped all their interceptions and ascended to 18000ft (as the Argentine radars detected), the most economic attitude to fly, possibly to save fuel because of the lack of a landing floating runway.


Sequence of the attack of the Argentine aircrafts

For the British version the Invincible stayed in service at all the conflict. After the Argentine surrender, it stayed on the South Atlantic in order to prevent any Argentine attack, and returned in September to Southampton.

For the Argentine version the Invincible was put out of service that day, and severely damaged was sent to a friendly base (South Africa, Ascension, Belize, et cetera) in order to be restored. By the same time, his twin the HMS Illustrious was sent to the South Atlantic with the false name of Invincible. The Illustrious false Invincible stayed in the conflict between the middle of June until September, when the real Invincible was restored and returned to Southampton. By that date, the real Illustrious recovered its name, and the government of Great Britain announced that this aircraft carrier was being moved to the South Atlantic, although it had been there by months.

I would like to know if someone is reading all my posts. I don’t see that the number of visits on this topic is rising, and the posts costs me a lot of time and hours connected to the internet.

If there is someone reading them, I’ll keep posting the rest of the campaign, but if I haven’t got any answer till tomorrow night, I’ll eliminate the topic.

Thank you.-

Sip , te entiendo perfectamente. :? , yo a veces zafo por el internet gratis.

Keep it up mate - I’m not able to visit as often lately but do apreciate what you’re doing.

Mike

Panzer, el gasto de internet no es lo más importante, sino el tiempo que pierdo para armar cada post, buscar la información, traducirla, buscar imágenes en internet… son alrededor de dos horas, y ver que laburar tantas horas para que al parecer nadie lo vea, hace que se pierda el entusiasmo. Pero si ustedes dicen que están leyendo, entonces seguiré… saludos.-

Panzer, the price of the internet is not the most important. The most important is the time I loose making each post, searh information, translate it, search images from the internet… It is aproximately two hours, and watch that working so many hours to nobody, is a really bad sense that made me lost enthusiasm. But if you are saying that you are reading the topic, so I’ll keep posting. Regards.

I drop by every 2-3 days and read the latest posts. I appricate what you’re doing! :wink:

Thirded! I join Topor and SS Tiger!

Keep going Eagle!

I look into this room almost daily and always appreciate the work being done. I just dont want to flood your good efforts with comments like ‘nice post mate’ etc all the time.

However,

‘Nice posts mate’ keep them up as I for one am intersted too.
