Royal Navy Sea Harrier

(9 votes)

In service with the Royal Navy since 1979, the Sea Harrier has been improved and updated to cope with the technological changes that the changing threat has posed. The aircraft remains the most advanced ship-borne Short Take Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft in the world.
The aircraft has a maritime fighter / reconnaissance / strike role and proved itself as an effective, flexible and reliable aircraft in the Falklands Campaign, where 29 aircraft flew over 2,300 sorties and destroyed 22 enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat without loss.
The original version in Royal Naval Service was the FRS1, with the newer FA2 (FRS2) variant entering service in 1994. The FRS2 differs from the earlier model in that it has a Blue Vixen look-down/shoot -down radar combined with the fire-and-forget Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) which allows the aircraft to engage targets beyond visual range. In addition, the Sea Eagle (anti-ship missile) and laser guided bombs can be carried.
