NEW: Britain conducts exercise to retake Falklands as Argentina steps up pressure on islands. About 150 paratroopers from 2nd Al and 100 local reservists spent six days rehearsing the 1982 war playbook - landing at San Carlos, marching overnight to Goose Green, and attacking targets with Typhoon support. They also trained against modern threats such as drone attacks. One officer said that the soldiers should "follow in the footsteps of our ancestors". It came as President Miley turned up the heat, calling the islands "illegally occupied" at the United Nations and warning Argentina to "take matters into our own hands." Argentina has turned to an international court to block a $2.2 billion British oil project near the islands. Prime Minister Burnham said Britain would do "whatever it takes" to keep them British. Defense officials say Argentina lacks the military capability to attempt a takeover, but the British garrison - fighter jets, missiles and infantry - remains ready. Source: The Times.
