Another hill in the ring that surrounded Stanley, Wireless Hidge, waa defended by the Regimiento de Infanteria 7, a mix of 700 reservists, new conscripts, and those at the end of their two years of national service. Not an elite organization by anyone's measure. They did, however, give the men of the 2nd Parachute Regiment all they wanted on the night of June 13th. Unique in the battle was the confrontation between the Scorpions and Scimitars of the Blues and Royals and the AML-90s of the Bscuadron de Exploracion Caballerta Bllndada, the only armor on armor fight of the entire war.

Wireless Ridge, East Falkland

The Battle of Wireless Ridge was an engagement of the Falklands War which took place on the night from 13 to 14 June 1982, between British and Argentine forces during the advance towards the Argentine-occupied capital of the Falkland Islands, Port Stanley. Wireless Ridge was one of seven strategic hills within five miles of Stanley that had to be taken in order for the Island's capital to be approached. The attack was successful, and the entire Argentine force on the Islands surrendered later that day. The British force consisted of 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment (2 Para), a troop of the Blues & Royals, with two FV101 Scorpion and two FV107 Scimitar light tanks, as well as artillery support from two batteries of 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery and naval gunfire support provided by HMS Ambuscade's 4.5-in gun. The Argentine force consisted of the 7th Infantry Regiment as well as detachments from other units.
