Falklands War

In recent years, it has become known that a listening post located in Fauske, Norway was vital in giving the British intelligence information regarding Argentinian fleet locations. The listening post was designated Fauske II by Norway. The information was "stolen" from Soviet spy satellites, which were the only space assets that covered the South Atlantic.[43] Western powers such as the United States and the UK did not have their own satellite presence in this area at the time. - Falklands War, 1982
[курсив мой - вс]

те, кто обсуждают скверного путена в Крыму, часто вообще не в курсе, что была Фолклендская война.

и те, кто обсуждают Советско-финскую войну, часто не слышали про Англо-бурскую.

каждую из которых отделяют от следующей 30-40 лет. всегда полезно сравнить.
