Likely true and if like similar situations in both summer of 23 and 24 it will è the “sand in the eyes” part of an air campaign. I think stage one was the Saki attack and “damage “ to as many as 5 su-35/24s

Likely true

Not to MPA or Helos

Sinking of the Moskva Podcast Episode · ShipWrekt · 17/04/2024 · 1h 59m

Back to where it all began. When I was prevailed upon to record a podcast that we hoped would get a hundred listens and exceeded all expectations. Grab a brew and learn about how to kill a cruiser.

Plus it’s a extremely perishable skill with the highest emphasis on teamwork and coordination

A phenomenal run this past month with our San Carlos series and particularly the interview with a Falklands veteran.

Another RC135 flight plus a P8 working further up.

Damage at 50 ‘ PK of 1 from 25’ in for Ww2 torpex DC vs German uboat

Not a 1000lb charge. Interesting the booms behind didn’t work. Probably purely to counter USV and not anchored to the bottom to stop divers. Placement of charge is odd as well. That’s a phenomenally thick concrete base.

Hmmmm it is curious, I am under the impression that the subsurface structure is configured differently than the visible structure to allow for tides and currents. Would the enhancement of a deep water charge efficacy be a factor?

Our interview with Nick, who was onboard HMS Argonaut for the initial run into San Carlos and subsequent Argentine air attacks, is now live.

Very proud of this episode.

If verified this is huge

Sort of slipped under the radar here. If you know anything about TDS you’ll know what a force multiplier they are. In podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

we discussed this kit at length and I remain convinced at the very least, Link 11 has been operated by Ukraine and imho 16 as well.

I tend to think the DDG would be the only effective and persistent means for 24hr AD with eagles running unpredictable patterns to augment

Several raids on the Royal Navy amphibious landing force at San Carlos were conducted starting 21 May 1982 and we will take a deep dive into those that targeted HMS Argonaut including one flown by a young Argentine Naval Aviator in an Italian built jet trainer! Epic stuff.

Episode 4 is up and worth a listen!
The battle of San Carlos is full of engagements and incidents that can be broken down, as part of the @shipwrektpod.bsky.social team @hopc.bsky.social , @dmbrookfield.bsky.social and I will be doing a two part podcast on HMS Argonaut

A sad day for the Royal Navy.

No conjecture. No urban myths. No rumours. Just analysis from people who have been to sea on Type 42 destroyers.

Air Raid Warning Red: The Battle For San Carlos Waters- Part 2 Podcast Episode · ShipWrekt · 26/04/2025 · 1h 30m

Folks episode two is up of our Air Raid Warning Red series. Now, this is a bit nerdy but if you really want to understand what a close run thing the battle was, we felt it’s important to understand the kit a d tactics being used.

Our biggest episode yet!

Very manly pattern

One of the more attractive first generation fighters. Built like a bridge from all accounts. Sturdy and reliable.

It’s been a big project and the team has done us proud.

Standby for our examination of one of the Royal Navy’s and Royal Fleet Auxiliaries finest moments.

Texaco callsigns over Black Sea?

Ok. Thats fun. Says additional CAP to me. The Typhoons are on FT as a signal.
It’s what we cannot see that’s the fun bit.

At first glance I have a couple of ideas
1. Low level rigging to get visual intel at a perspective and angle unavailable at distance due to obstruction
2. Simulated attack profiles on a buoy holding subsurface contact or a practice surface shoot , all for currency.
Perhaps a bit of showing the

@hopc.bsky.social and all you submarine hunters. My paper plot for hunting an Argentine boat. Two lines of sonobuoys, a good cross fix on her radar, with furthest on circles from datum.

Panamanian government has approved the purchase of 4 Embraer Super Tucano light strike aircraft for the Servicio Nacional Aeronaval. The service's Enaer Pillans have some armament capacity but the Super Tucano brings impressive combat and surveillance capabilities.

look in the middle of the spaghetti you can see a solid line running roughly south west to northeast. Then multiple cuts across it . The solid line could likely be a line of buoys geometrically configured to track and sub high angle cuts are potentially practice attack runs, water depth dependent

Impressive

Brilliant because combines footage with actual gun crew interviews.
