Forcing out the invaders

The daring amphibious landings of thousands of British troops was arguably the most perilous and pivotal moment of the Falklands war. 40 years on BFBS Sitrep hears from key figures about how and why it enabled the liberation of the islands. But at sea 22 lives were lost in the operation, the man who was Captain of HMS Ardent tells us the story of its sinking, and how it still occasionally gives him nightmares. And as we assess the latest developments in Ukraine we ask if history has any lessons for Vladimir Putin as he’s accused of micromanaging Russia’s ‘special military operation’
