BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion

They gave the american one 240 flares to make it good, what they do for us is nerf the sraams and then refuse to fix them despite the fix already being implemented back when the r73 was added as it was a thrust vectoring issue.

Eh I think they should remove the SRAAM and put the Gr.1 at 8.3-8.7. Let it be what it was.
An earlyish cold war ground attacker. Shouldn’t be facing Strella…

BTW SRAAM was actually tested on a Trainer Harrier.

The Harrier T.52 ZA250 (better known as G-VTOL) was the company demonstrator that was used to test SRAAM and SKYHOOK while also being one of the earliest aircraft to carry ASRAAM but I can’t comment on whether it was used as a flying testbed.
