The Sea Harrier was a VTOL/STOVL (Short Take-off and Vertical Landing) capable fighter aircraft designed to equip the flying units of the British Royal Navy.
It entered service in the late 1970s and early 1980s and had the primary operational role as a fleet air defense aircraft.
In 1982 it was deployed on HMS Invincible and HMS Hermes during the Falklands War, fully demonstrating its operational effectiveness during the conflict.
Although it could not match the speed and flight characteristics of enemy aircraft such as the Mirage III, it was still extremely maneuverable and reliable in all conditions.
The Sea Harrier was equipped with effective offensive armament, consisting of two 30mm ADEN guns installed in pods under the fuselage and four underwing hardpoints for firing air-to-air missiles.
