On June 1, 1982, this sea and air battle born in the South Atlantic Ocean is destined to be recorded in history!

The Argentine Navy and Air Force jointly launched a fierce air strike. Argentina fired nearly twenty flying fish missiles. Although these missiles did not hit 80% like the French claimed hit rate, they only hit six warships in total, with a hit rate of less than 50%. However, as long as the warships were hit, there seemed to be only one ending.

Except for aircraft carrier-level warships that can survive the first strike of Feiyu missiles, other warships below 10,000 tons and merchant ships above 10,000 tons cannot withstand the attack of such missiles.

Important air defense destroyers such as Coventry, Glasgow, and Antrim were all killed by the Flying Fish missiles, as well as the Big Sword and Argo Sailor. Although the Invincible Class aircraft carrier was hit by a Flying Fish missile, it still survived. However, it was sunk by the Argentine A-4 attack aircraft that flew in subsequently. Among them, an Argentine A-4 attack aircraft even launched a suicide attack! The Atlantic Transporter, an important supply cargo ship, was also destroyed!

The pilots in Argentina were simply crazy! In addition to the invincible-class aircraft carrier being sunk, another Athletics God escaped the fate of being sunk, but it was also overwhelmed, and had nearly ten bombs in total! The deck was full of trauma, and the carrier-based aircraft could no longer be taken off! At the same time, the Antelope and the Enthusiastic frigate were sunk by bombs! The Plymouth, Arrow, and Agility were injured by bombs!

In this naval and air war, Britain sank and injured more than a dozen ships, accounting for more than half of the main combat ships of the British special mixed formation! In particular, the destruction of the Invincible Class aircraft carrier, as the core of the formation, was a heavy blow to the British Navy!

After the Invincible sinking, other warships continued to search and rescue soldiers who fell into the water. However, among these people, there was no trace of the fleet's supreme commander, Admiral John Federhouse! Now, the entire fleet is temporarily replaced by Major General Wu Huade.

Six British Sea Harrier fighters were also shot down in this air battle!

From this perspective, the British Navy was a complete failure. However, during the entire battle, the British Navy's resolute counterattack also caused a heavy blow to the Argentine air force! In particular, more than 20 A-4 attack aircraft that Argentina attacked the ship were shot down! Only half of them were able to return successfully!

However, this battle was finally considered a victory for Argentina! The British navy lost its combat capability and they were no longer able to attack the Cavaliers!

On this day, the whole of Argentina was boiling again! When the Shelfide was sunk, they were boiling, but then, Argentina's 10,000-ton cruiser was sunk, and Argentina's class flag fighter jets were destroyed by special forces, which silenced the Argentine people. At that moment, they thought they were going to fail!

And now, Argentina finally won the victory again! This victory was hard-won! It paid the sacrifice of more than 20 pilots in exchange for the price of destroying more than a dozen British warships and merchant ships! The number of British casualties was far away from our side! The haze of the past was swept away, and everyone was full of confidence in the future.

Argentina is invincible!

And the Presidential Palace in Argentina was even more full of joy. Galtieri raised his wine glass high and said to a guest: "Mhamad, thank you very much for your help. Without you, we would never have achieved such a victory."

The victory of the battle was directly related to the bloody battle of the pilots on their own. However, the coordinates of the British maritime formation were accurately determined in advance, air refueling, and secret interference pods interfere with the British Sea Mark Bridge missiles. Several hired pilots did not leave after throwing the flying fish missiles, but took the air-to-air missiles to fight the British Sea Harrier, covering the raid of their own A-4 attack aircraft fleet. Moreover, the tactics of attacking from another direction were proposed by the hiring pilots.

Without them, victory would still belong to Argentina, but the price Argentina has to pay would have been greater, and now, Galtieri is very clear in his heart.

"Mr. President, we are very sincere, and at the same time, we also hope to cooperate with you in more aspects." Mhamad said: "In addition to selling arms, we also do a lot of normal business."

Galtier nodded: "I plan to cooperate with you in more aspects, such as offshore oil drilling equipment, etc., which we can purchase from you."

Of course, Galtieri knew what the other party meant, but now, he still didn't want the other party to get involved in the sovereignty of the island. However, in return, purchasing the other party's equipment is also a kind of compensation?

"We have some other goods to enter the South American market and hope you can reduce tariffs," Mhamad said.

Other commodities? A country that has made it rich by oil exports has almost no manufacturing industry, so where is there any saying of commodities? However, Galtieri knew that behind Mhamad, there was not Iraq at all, but the Soviet Union. I heard that the Soviet Union's electronic products were good and cheap, so I'm afraid the other party wanted to bring these things to South America. In the past, this was the American commodity market, but now, for Argentina, everyone who bought them is bought, and this requirement can also be considered.

“You can go and coordinate with our business department,” Galtieri said. “This requirement can be met.”

Mhamad raised his wine glass with satisfaction: "Thank you, President Galtieri, congratulations to you for defeating the British."

...

The sea breeze blowing from the Atlantic Ocean seemed to have the smell of gunpowder. The just-concluded sea-air war made many people a little surprised while feasting their eyes.

What? In the end, the Invincible Level was sunk by a bomb? The British's most awesome air defense weapon was actually an automatic rifle shooting at the air?

"Now, the British have been crippled and the battle is over. General Andre, should our fleet also plan to return to Port Abbas?" Victor, the captain of the Soviet Union, asked Andre.

From beginning to end, our side watched the battle and sent early warning aircraft to monitor the entire air combat process. However, the Soviet Navy never took action, which is somewhat regrettable.

If our side takes action, we will send MiG-K to carry the sound-anti-ship missile, an aircraft carrier that is enough to sink the British! Moreover, with a range of hundreds of kilometers, the British Sea Harrier will definitely not have time to intercept it, and our side will be able to complete the attack process!

"Of course it's not time yet." Andre said to Victor: "Now, the real battle has not begun yet. The good show is still behind!" (To be continued.)8
