How Argentinian Pilots Bravely Attacked Royal Navy's HMS Antelope

On 23 May 1982, Argentinian attacks against the British Landing Group in San Carlos Water continued. The first to launch were four A-4 Skyhawks from Fuerza Aerea Argentina's 5th Aviation Group from Rio Gallegos, quickly followed by four more Skyhawks from the Naval Aviation. In yet another display of bravery, Argentinian pilots performed risky point-blank bombing attacks against Royal Navy ships. While some of them paid the ultimate price and their technology proved less than reliable, success didn't evade them.
