Why did Britain win the Falklands conflict?

BFBS Radio Sitrep - A podcast by BFBS Radio - Thursdays

40 years on from the liberation of the Falklands BFBS Sitrep hears the story of the final hours from those who were there – and examines the lessons of the conflict.The man who marched 3 Commando Brigade across miles of mud tells us how logistic difficulties left ammunition in the wrong place at the wrong time, putting individual operations on hold.The war might have been avoided if Britain hadn’t failed to convince Argentina it would defend the Falklands – is that a lesson we’ve actually learned in the era of war in Ukraine?And Professor Michael Clarke explains how modern warship designs owe much to the lessons of the Falklands campaign.
