In 1982, thousands of soldiers from Argentina rushed to the Malvinas Islands with guns and ammunition. A hundred British soldiers stationed on the island were still asleep, so Argentina occupied the island without much effort.
The news of Argentina's invasion of the Malvinas Islands was known to all countries in the world in a very short period of time, and argentine citizens were very excited, and the head of state, Galtieri, became a legend in the hearts of Argentine people.
Three days later, Thatcher, then British Prime Minister, raised his arms in his announcement, assuring British nationals that the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland would inevitably be raised again above the Falkland Islands.
Note that the Falkland Islands mentioned by Thatcher here are the same island as the Malvinas Islands occupied by Argentina, but the two countries treat the islands differently.
After making the above claims in Britain, Thatcher sent the British ace fleet on the water at that time. At the same time, Thatcher appointed Woodward as the top officer in command of the battleship.
On the day of departure, the fleet took 2/3 of the total number of British naval units. And the queen's second son, Andrew, was also in this battle for the island, personally flying the combat aircraft to the front line.
At this time, the number of Argentine soldiers on the Malvinas Islands had increased to 10,000, and Argentina quickly mobilized 1 aircraft carrier, 1 cruiser, and 4 deep-diving warships around the island.
6 marine destroyers, as well as 400 military combat helicopters of various types. The battle between the British fleet and the Argentine army was on the verge of breaking out, and the two sides were fighting each other to the death.
In this way, the Argentine army and the British army confronted each other for nearly 20 days, and the fighting situation between the two sides had reached its most intense stage.
At this time, the British launched 3 torpedo missiles, 2 hit the Argentine cruiser and caused a strong and fierce blazing flame. Sixty minutes later, the Argentine cruiser sank into the ocean.
Moreover, the 323 soldiers on the Argentine cruiser were buried together in the belly of the fish. News of the sinking of the cruiser came back to Argentina, provoking the anger of many citizens.
The Argentine military began a Jedi counterattack, ready to give the British a little bit of power, and they aimed their revenge plan at the British to drive the Malvinas Islands, a latest expulsion battleship with a market value of more than $200 million.
Two days later, the sky above the Malvinas Islands was met with extremely dangerous weather. Such sudden weather conditions caused serious interference to the radar display of the British warships.
The Argentine military, seeing the timing, immediately dispatched a bombing fighter aircraft and installed a powerful torpedo air-dropped missile on the fuselage.
At the behest of the Argentine military, the bombing fighter followed the radar blind zone of the British fleet and arrived at the area where the British fleet was docked. Only a few tens of seconds passed, and the fish air-dropped bomb blew up the British warship.
The British warship, which was too late to react, struggled in the sea for nearly 5 hours, not only failed to save a survivor, but also made the flames burn for more than ten hours, and finally the British expulsion battleship sank and disappeared.
The battle between the British and Argentines in the Malvinas Islands ended with the Argentine spending $200,000 and hitting a British $200 million destroyer.
