This is the first in a two-part series exploring air defence during the Falklands War and its lessons for modern conflict.
The Falklands War, fought between United Kingdom (UK) and Argentina over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, offers contemporary examples of multi-domain operations and Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) warfare. Despite being fought 40 years ago, the lessons learned are applicable to the Australian Defence Force, specifically Army’s air defence specialists as they prepare to operate in a contested, multi-domain environment.
