Una misión heroica frente al desembarco británico | Serie “Voces de Malvinas”

Navy Lieutenant Owen Guillermo Crippa, an Argentine Navy pilot and Falklands veteran, relives one of the conflict's most daring missions: a solo attack against the British fleet at San Carlos. Crippa recounts how he identified enemy vessels, attacked a British ship, and dodged a low-flying missile amidst enemy frigates, helicopters, and barges. A true testament to ingenuity and courage in the midst of the Falklands War.
