It looks like both navies need to relearn lesson #1 again-and quick. Navy followed this insanity by retiring their F-14 Tomcats with long-range Phoenix missiles, placing both fleets at risk of enemy ASM destruction due to non-existent or weak outer ring air covers. Today, the British have UNDONE their force structure and UNlearnt this lesson to have adequate air cover by retiring their Sea Harriers! Its so shocking and stupid, we have had to add a point #12 on this web page to address this. This is one thing, the British did well by cramming every Harrier they could onto their ships, saving their entire effort.

'The key to successful AAW is to destroy the launching platform before it fires, thus removing a number of missile threats in one go.' This does not only have to happen by expensive aircraft carriers-modern seaplane fighters should be on EVERY capital ship to provide their own AES and AAW/ASW cover. In modern naval combat, Betty/Nell bombers as the HMS Repulse and Prince of Wales sinking in 1941 shows. Navy's surface WILL be seen and targeted. However, this time Red China will have a complete surveillance strike complex (SSC) in place-there will be no gaps in radar, sonar and patrol aircraft coverage. With over a billion hungry and thirsty for water, food and amenities people, a convenient land grab for Taiwan to rally everyone around the ' one China' flag might be too appealing for the Red Chinese dictators to pass up. responds a good part of that nation's islands will be occupied-in other words the same belligerent gobbling up a nearby neighbor scenario as the Falklands. If Red China invades nearby Taiwan, by the time the U.S. This war was the ' littoral' combat near shores that the Navy brass are so infatuated with and claim to be adapting to.

PART 9: 2 Para with light tank fire support takes Wireless Ridge easily compared to Goose Green battle where they didn't have light tanks Longdon, they ditch their rucks/lbe and crawl wearing just smocks used bayonets to prevail, longer-ranged 155mm guns at Stanley kill some brits PART 8: Spartan APC moves wounded man, 105mm guns can't reach Stanley so hills overlooking have to be first taken, 3 para steps on ap mine compromising attack for Mt. PART 7: sorry, you're walking exhausted men too heavy rucksacks: march or die, where's the carts Brits had in WW2?

PART 5: LCU (flat-bottom WW2 Higgins boat) goes aground, big tussock grass wearing rucksacks, reverse slope defense, ships mauled by SkyHawks, goose green attack foot infantry dependant on nvgfs and darkness, Thompson admits he should have sent light tanks and commanded in person, PART 4: Sheffield burns, cheapo ship construction polyester clothing, Brits who knew better afterwards revamp, Pucara o/a plane threat to ships troops over soft open terrain, Pebble Island raid catches them exposed, yet more proof for need of aircraft to be in mobile, protected BATTLEBOXes, troops wet up to waist in freezing cold water PART 2: broken down ships sail for Falklands, South Georgia retaken Another option is to watch the videos below: Corum's article and the airpower magazine from Austria's in-depth coverage in the NOTES section.
