Witness the Epic Story of a Daring Falklands Raid!

On 1 May 1982, British Task Force arrived in the vicinity of the Falklands / Malvinas. The famous Black Buck raid against Port Stanley airport by a single Vulcan bomber was quickly followed by twelve Sea Harriers from HMS Hermes. Nine of them attacked Port Stanley while three attacked the airstrip at Goose Green. Argentina never deployed any fast jets on the Islands, but light attack Pucara aircraft were obviously considered potentially dangerous enough to the British invasion force to justify such a risky attack. Was the strike successful? Were any of the Harriers shot down? Find out in this video.
The South Atlantic map for DCS World has finally been released into early access and we can now reenact these historical events on their actual locations.
