The Argentinean Defenders

A 3-man squad of Argentinean soldiers open fire on advancing British Paras.
Both armies in this conflict used almost the same assault rifle… the British SLR (Self Loading Rifle) and the Argentinean FAL, both derived from the original Belgian designed FN Assault Rifle that fired an identical 7.62mm round.
The only major difference was that the enemy rifles had the ability to fire ‘Full Auto’ while the British believed in ‘every round an aimed round’ i.e. that is to say, single shot automatic.
At the end of the day what really mattered was the quality of the soldier behind the weapon not the weapon itself.
Our trio of enemy soldiers are bravely putting up a defence as best they can in a difficult situation.
All are dressed in standard Argentine Cold weather ‘Parka’ jackets originally designed for and by the Israeli Defence Forces.
The helmets are standard U.S. M1 steel pots with camouflage covers.On the helmets themselves each soldier has a pair of protective goggles.
Each soldier has the standard black leather fighting order and ammunition pouches alongside a water bottle and entrenching tool plus a rifle bayonet and scabbard.
Completing the dress of each soldier are a pair of olive drab trousers in a similar shade to the ‘Parka’ with a patch pocket on each side of the trousers.On their feet are standard issue black leather combat boots.
Of special note is a small Argentinean flag patch on the upper left arm of each soldier.
As seen here all three soldiers are in various shooting positions and will look great in any trench, on the ground or even behind a rock ‘sangar’ defence work
