20 Harriers and 1 Vulcan bomber cross the full length of the Atlantic and work from 2 Carriers to literally steal air superiority over 100 fighters from a country that has home range over the battlefield.
Very much a test of the Harriers abilities

Not the video mentioned but a excerpt from a great documentary about the Falklands conflict. What an amazing victory that was from 10,000 miles away...back when Britain still kicked ass.
Today the Brits would just Tomahawk the fuck out of the Argi air bases from subs. Actually drank beers with our brother submariners that sunk the cruiser(target) Belgrano. Poor fuckers never knew what was coming, they trailed it for days before London gave the OK to sink her.

They'd never allow such a thing these days because of saftey regulations etc.

And they done the job perfectly
Was you even born back in 1982 alder?
