Welcome / Table of Contents

 Welcome, this site will not work as a typical blog, I intent to publish several articles that will be linked in the upper menu, and relegate the blog entries as a secondary information place holder. I'm currently working on another article with miscellaneous tidbits not encompassed by the main articles, I think that it will be published as a blog entry.

I welcome criticism as long as is grounded in reliable sources, I'm open to debate my findings and correct any mistake I surely made. I want to thank all the people that helped and guided me through this puzzling maze.

Hope this site will help to clarify many misconceptions about these fateful days, thanks for stopping by.

Cheers!

Introduction:

The purpose of this blog, showing the extraordinary claims I'm trying to clarify, a brief description of the Operación Rosario events.

 The LCVP:

Explains the secondary role of the Landing Crafts in the Operation plans, shows pictures and video of the LCVP that proof that there's no battle damage in it, follows the procedure to identify this boat as one of the two captured in good condition by British forces after the cease fire.

LVTP-7 Intro: 

A brief description of the LVTP-7 amphibious APC, their use in the Argentine Navy, their role in Operación Rosario and the combat episode in the outskirts of Stanley, showing the points where the Royal Marines claim they hit the vehicle.

 LVTP-7 Cupola:

Using exclusive pictures of VAO #17, the vehicle Phillips claims was destroyed by the Royal Marines, this article demonstrates that the hole behind the cupola is the mounting point of a removed auxiliary vision periscope.

LVTP-7 Rear Light: 

An analysis of the impossibility to impact the rear light from the RM positions in such a bizarre trajectory, more pictures and videos reveals that there's no sign of battle damage in the rear area; and that the rear light used as evidence by Phillips is a falsification.

LVTP-7 Nose Patch: 

More pictures and videos showing that the internal damage is not compatible with Phillips theory, the impossibility to affect the crew compartment even accepting the damage was caused by a HEAT impact, and pictures of the vehicle from 1986-87 showing no damage in that area.

TFC Bibliography: 

A demonstration that Phillips misquoted and mistranslated Argentine books to assert that VAO #17 was part of the Landing formation, when in fact, that vehicle was left in the barracks due to lack of spares.
