Mills' Marauders - Last Stand at South Georgia 1982 

Just run

When lady luck is pissed at you that's how....

Ha ha ha haaa...... Pretty bad.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Penguins .....nibbled the electrical firing mechanism ...highly trained viscious...Patriotic Penguins

it's a nightmare

That's awesome

That’s class

Ernest Shackleton was Irish 🍀

elflakeador09 whilst born in Ireland he was a British citizen although he considered himself Irish, so I guess you are correct. Not everyone born in Ireland is Irish, especially from this period of history

Royal Marine Commandos make their own luck..

I imagine very few similar engagements happened beforehand and not at all since. They were pretty much winning, but I guess it would have been impossible to keep fighting... resupply and reinforcement was 12k miles away.

The argentines were frakkin pathetic.

@@iamkurgan1126 yet they took the ground

@@danieltoft2116 Yeah, with superior numbers, they are like Russians! They drown you in their numbers (which only works when you truly run out of supplies, otherwise machine-guns etc. will probably carry the day) because their equipment (except rifles etc.) isn't up to snuff (note: The Russians are changing that, their newer Anti-Air-Missiles aren't crap, hell they seem better than the US-Made Patriot-System on paper and their new subs aren't bad either!)

Joe DiGiovanni IV - Those are the sort of odds we like. See ‘Rorke’s Drift’, ‘Battle of Britain’ etc. 🇬🇧

XD

The ship, the ship won

Unfortunately John Nott the then minister for defence was a complete wimp and had been running around like a wet hen during the invasion. By all accounts Thatcher was no better. Needed a salty old admiral to give them both some backbone.

@@bigblue6917 Think of what he could have done with more than a squad❓ You sunk my bleedin BATTLESHIP ❗ 😱😱😱😛😜😃

yereverluvinuncleber >> Too funny; I never heard that.

@@jaybee9269 Henny Youngman: "why does the new Italian navy have glass bottom boats? So they can see the old Italian navy."

@@rrbone lol now that is funny

Fucking legendary

I can royal, as can you

The Lee Enfield sniper,soldiered on into the nineties with both the military as well as some police forces. It was a regular rifle,chambered in .303 British. But they were sent to the Famous London gunsmith Holland & Holland who reworked the stock,polished the bolt and trigger group and match fitted a set of optics. They are highly Collectable among Target shooters and command a high price.

Tomás they need to do a video about our good friends across the channel, a fellow NATO member, selling the argies exocet anti ship missiles🙄🙄 gotta love the french🙄🙄

we do.

As long as the inhabitants want to remain British - then that's a yes!

@@Kettenhund31 did those penguins ever consent with being under British rule?

We absolutely do. Maritime people, maritime power. Islands are the gems of the sea. I lament the loss of the over 200 islands and islets that comprise Hong Kong. Ever since 1997, in spite of the level best efforts of the British to retain democratic liberties and human rights - largely thanks to the efforts of Sir/Lord Chris Patten the former (and last British) governor of Hong even before the handover ceremony, as he knew what the CCP was up to and that their Marxist Communist ways would degrade democratic freedoms over time, making him determined to ramp up protective legislation ahead of the British leaving; one of the heroes of Hong Kong - the Chinese regime has been subverting and flouting the 50 year SAR (Special Administrative Region) status plan agreed for the unique city. This gives Hong Kong a sort of quasi British-Chinese system though the Chinese increasingly just pay lip-service to their side of the deal. By book or by crook, they have been undermining the SAR status for 22 years. Not even half way into the tenure of the CCP (the Communists never owned Hong Kong prior to 1997 - and their actual official integration of the city fully into the P.R. of China will only be in 2047; officially, anyway. Unofficially? Obviously the nightmare has been unfolding slowly but surely since 1997. Britain did what it could for Hong Kong but I greatly pity the many loyalists to the UK trapped by the Communist regime. What has been happening is heartbreaking and it is too often brushed away by the leftist mainstream media who tacitly turn a blind eye to the plight of the Hong Kongers. Millions of whom doubtlessly preferred the British government and especially the late stage British era of rule in HK where the British in the city were more liberal rather than imperial, as time passed. Around the same time the Falklands War transpired, the British also faced a CCP determined to either take HK by force if denied their technical illegitimate claim by 1997 later on if denied, or one considering completely shutting off the water supplies from the New Territories and in turn from mainland China. The UN had been worked around, tricked and manipulated in this direction by the Chinese since the 1970's at least if not earlier. The CCP had to agree to the SAR status - and clauses/rules - which covered British Hong Kong as well as Portuguese Macau. However, they've wasted no time in arresting protesters, disappearing dissenting voices, using violence and intimidation, bogus charges and imprisonments, deportations to the mainland and instilling a police state environment. Multiple protests, some being led by students who love the UK and love the British generally, have hit the streets of Hong Kong. They are sharply looking for where the CCP are trying to sneak in oppressive powers and protesting them furiously. The CCP have been very sneaky in trying to subvert the rules. The sort of de facto liberating amnesty facilitated by the SAR status, has irritated the Chinese whom agreed to it to avoid conflict with NATO. Yet day by day, the situation has been deteriorating. The CCP propaganda machine calls the protests ''undemocratic'' and ''traitorous'', with intense propaganda levelled at the young generations coming through. They bring often rude and poorly behaved mainland Chinese into the city to demographically replace and displace the native Hong Kongers, and they bombard the city with the state media narrative on the history of Hong Kong, rewriting history to their Communist agenda. Even today - and I do mean literally today 10th June 2019 - there are vast protests by the people of Hong Kong, against the CCP's extradition plans. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KMSLFd7af7c.html at least the media is actually paying more attention to this now; still not nearly enough. If it is this bad in 2019, I think by 2047 it'll be a disaster. 1997 was bad enough.

Kettenhund31 I’d say those penguins surely did and still do today. God Save the Queen🇬🇧

We still used them en masse.

There is a documentary about it somewhere, where the british sniper is interviewed. Can't remember where I saw it, as it was several years ago, but it is out there.

Anas yahaya As always

I presume you're talking about this one, Nick? britains-smallwars.com/

Genesis Fradejas same i had a big laugh to 😂

They are very polite.

@@captain0080 must be Canadian Penguins then :)

As far as I remember the damage to the submarine was due to it being attacked by the RN's Wasp helicopters firing anti-ship missiles at it. First time the missiles had been used in a conflict and it was hit with the first missile fired. The problem was the outer skin of the conning tower was fibreglass so it took several missiles to do any real damage.

aaron alva well is a very sad story. That submarine was making a mission when it was discovered by the british. A helicopter shooted a missil that hits in the top and the crew could not submerge so it was captured. When the british captured all the crew they tried to sunk the vessel. One argentinian officer was killed accidentaly by a british soilder during the attempt to sunk the submarine. The argentinian was buried with honors in the island. As far as i know every year it recieves the respects of the british

@@giuliannochiarelli151 I believe the Argentine Petty Officer was shot as a deliberate act, whilst attempting to set the "scuttle charges" on the boat; a brave sailor, nonetheless. The submarine was towed out to sea and sunk, as the ordnance, on-board was unstable. I continue to hope for better relations, between our 2 nations.

@@bigblue6917 If I remember right,the sub was called the Santa Fe and was also hit with a Law66 and put out of action for good.
