  • Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
  • from the film 'An Ungentlemanly Act'. Royal Marines and a blue-eyed local ex-marine who re-enlisted defend Government House from attack by Argentine commandos. Exteriors [eg. the duck's area/vegetable patch] are authentic.
    PS: Lord Petyr Baelish is carrying the portable radio.
    PPS: the source video is not very good, and the audio is worse. Film was shot on super 16, with no CGI.

      @THE Don Spaghetti & Ravioli They did a fair amount of damage while they fought (including sinking a landing craft, according to Ricky Philips's book about the war). But they were ordered to surrender by the Falkland Island governor - probably in the hopes that the Argentine forces would be more lenient to the civilians.

    Thinking back....I think that this might be the first time that 'Tracer' automatic fire was edited into a film. It starts off slow.....then gets much quicker before it hits you.
    A brilliant production, the most surreal battle I've ever seen.

      Never fear, The Argentinian forces had the respect of the British armed forces.
      When the General Belgrano was torpedoed by a British sub, our cheap newspapers made a Headline 'Gotcha ' there was an outcry over this as our sailors do not triumph over enemy sailors drowning in freezing water.
      To this day I have never heard a bad word about Argentinian forces. After their surrender they were treated well and returned home as soon as could be. This is a fact.

    The battle lasted three hours, ending as the amphibious vehicles arrived at Government House at 9:25am. Quite remarkably no Royal Marine was hit, though several very nearly were, and the 'no casualties' order was part of the reason for this. Though Argentine forces were numerous, most landed by the airport. Small groups arrived at Government House throughout the battle and sadly very many of these were killed and wounded. The two major losses of life were in the landing craft that sank with 40 men, none of whom survived [the craft was salvaged, and can be seen today on land], and in one of the amphibious tracked vehicles, which was eventually burned by a Carl Gustav round, after being hit by LAWs, following numerous misses. The Argentine Amtrack commander still claims no vehicle was destroyed, though most the the RMs saw it [and inside it] as they were escorted to the airport as PoWs. Of the 28 men on board, very few, if any, survived. The RM section that fired the Carl Gustav rounds fell back through the town, and killed & wounded a number of Argentines on the way, possibly damaging a second Amtrack with a LAW. Neither side wished to fight intensively around the town's wooden buildings for fear of civilian casualties. This section ended its battle by hiding below deck on the yacht Forrest, moored on a jetty in Stanley harbour, very fearful of being found and shot. Most of them were 21 years old.
    There should have been 82 Royal Marines, from the naval parties of 81/82, and the newly-arrived 82/83. One was in Argentina, and 12 had gone to South Georgia. About half of the remainder defended Government House, with a few others arriving there during the battle. They believed most of their Argentine foes had no experience of battle, as they tended to expose themselves to fire, and demonstrated inexperience in other ways. The older marines had seen combat in a number of countries over the previous 20 years, including Aden, Oman and Northern Ireland. These men claimed many targets hit throughout the battle, as did a highly-experienced sniper. The local Falkland Island Defence Force militia did not take part in the fighting [with one exception, a retired Marine who had settled in Stanley], though they gave their modern weapons to the second 'Naval Party 9801', who had none of their own.
    Clearly the RMs enjoyed 'interior lines', as well as defending behind cover: they could engage whichever group of Argentines was currently threatening them, whereas the Argentines surrounding the Government House area could not co-ordinate an attack. Both sides lacked heavy weapons.
    After the battle, a large number of blood-stained stretchers [70?] were seen at the airport. There appear to have been no Argentine surgical teams on land, and some of the seriously wounded were given poor and even dangerous treatment by naval or army medics prior to evacuation. Both the British and Argentine governments played down the nature of the battle. The British, for example, decided not to award any medals to any who took part, though the marine commander, Major Mike Norman RM, recommended seven men.

      We are talking airpower, which was all that mattered, so sending a submariner admiral to be CinC was a bit dumb but typically British.
      'Why Air Forces Fail' has a chapter on the reason why the Argentine one failed in combat, which is largely due to a lack of mutual support between all three services. Also I'd recommend 'Scimitar into Stanley', recently written by a colleague of a business contact, who held the rank of captain in the Guards, thus the senior officer of the senior regiment. 'Penal Company' is Philip Neame's account of D company 2 Para, which saw more combat than any other similar unit. Major Neame was not decorated for his service.

      The SLR was a fine fine weapon and proved its capability over the years it was in Service. If you got hit by 7.62 SLR Round then you weren’t getting back up.
      Ask any Vet who trained on both SLR & SA80 ( 5.56 ) they will tell you the SLR wins every time.
      You could get shorter Models of the SLR too, for Jungle etc.

      The L1A1 SLR was and is far superior to the SA80 5.56 'peashooter' that replaced it. I know, I used both extensively. The length of the SLR was rarely an issue, it was easier to patrol with than the SA80 and could be ported in either shoulder. Far better build quality, and easier to strip and maintain. Far better bayonet wpn and ideal for close quarter fighting. IE a butt stroke to the face from an L1A1 with knock out teeth and break the nose. You might as well throw the SA80 away and pick up a shovel in close combat.

When the rest of Argentinan troops came ahore with armoured support it was decided the game was up .Tumbledown is also an extremely good drama about the Scots guards and their assault on Mount Tumbledown.

      The name of that offcer is Captain Pedro D. Giacchino of Buzo Tactico force, Argentine navy. The reason he was shot is that in those units bosses are in charge of leading the platoon.
      And the other two men were Corporal Urbina (medic) and Lt. Diego Garcia Quiroga. The numbers of the argentine casualties in Op. Rosairio (2 April) are those, and by the way after the british surrender all (both sides) could see if it was the opposite. The names are known for the argentine side at least.
      The message recoded in the amtrack transport ship ARA Cabo San Antonio (Q-42) ordered the argentine not to cause casualties among the british, this due to the belief that it would prevent a further conflict. Although it may sound absurd to pretend capture an objetive without causing losses, it was the order given. Probably the unique operation of the kind in modern warfare, if not ever. And it was accomplished, by forcing the 40 men of Naval party 8901 to surrender without hurting them. In fact one of them, Lou Armour is famous nowadays.
      And do not say Argie, pay respect to the argentine veterans just like you would like the people respect yours., they are sent to fight independently if they support the governments or not.

      The Royal Marines view was that the rifle had poor long-range accuracy, and its interesting to note that mines and snipers were the two problems that concerned the British. The SLR was a FAL vandalised by the Army Council, and the various RUclips videos on the rifle are illuminating. Being able to use captured ammunition was very useful, and Argentine forces tended to be lavishly supplied. They had a lot of night-vision image-intensifiers, whereas the poverty-stricken British did not.

There's the story of Roberto Baruzzo who states to have taken a british rifle (not the SLR) who had night sights and he also states that he used that to direct the MG's fire made by another soldier. Also the story of Private Daniel Gionco who says that while in night patrol folowing the line of the beach in the Fresinet peninsule, there was a leading soldier that had been provided with NVG and that all of them were to try pay attention at him at allo times, for he was the only who could see in the night.
      The SLR or FAL (it's the same model with different name, depending if speaking about Argentine or Britain) is a weapon still in service in the argentine army, and navy (although the last one has bought 5.000 second-hand M-16 from US, in 2011). The natural sights for the FAL, that is, the effective range of fire are 150 and 250 meters respectively. 25O meters is almost 3 blocks of distance. Therefore he long range of SLR and its accuracy is superb; the problem in every case was that the night was a natural problem to aim, even for a professional shooter, and in the end both sides simply aimed were the tracers came from. The british did have Milan and Bofors anti-tank weapons, all of which were used and this was decissive to gain the initiative, otherwise the argentine were well protected.
      And about the problems that concerned to british, nearly all veterans involved in Mount Longdon state that the argentine were well protected by rocks and that the 12.7 mm MG's caused them many casualties.
