When I was in high school, I made whole squadron of miniature sea-harrier, and a model of aircraft carrier. I just love the sea harrier aircraft. Very sad that our Indian Navy retired them as the fleet was old.
Im sorry but they wont sadly. F35 b are taking their place. I love harriers too but i also love the f35s and it is a good switch. But having said that. Wouldn't hurt to keep 50% of em and upgrade them then mothball em. Just incase they need them later. Honestly its suprising that they weren't used more in afganistan. Could of had Airbase FOBs. Woulda been handy and cool
@@dadinkle the main reason why is because the Harrier is inferior in range and payload capacity when compared to the F35B, the only strong point for the Harrier in comparison with the F35B is its unit cost
5th gen future proof jet with electronic attack, stealth, long range radar and missiles vs Out of date vtol jet with inferior radar and weapons because muh cheap prices.
@@COLT6940 Radar can always be replaced with a better one, the airframe can be made with improved materials, but numerical superiority sometimes wins the war.
@@joelchee9308 there is no more room for upgrading harrier jet, that why f35b was developed. Uk will have 60 f35B and option for total 120 jet. Most nations barely have more than 40s 4th gen aging jet.
'WD'....an EXCELLENT Video of a Super plane....Super in its ingenuity, planning, work, and putting paper to a Real A/C!!! Your narration is also quite Excellent!! Something that some people have some "ahhh", "And", "But" trouble with....Good Show Look forward to 'Part 2'!!
Detective, could you please increase the speed of typing out the specifications instead of typing them out one by one. Or better still just show all of them in one go. Thanks.
the british raf and royal nany sea harries fougth the fakland island in 1982. against the argentine air force and naval aviation. they fought very well shoot down about 35 argentine air force and naval aviation component.
the naval carrier borne F-35B Lightning II stealth maritime VTOL multi role fighter seriously needs a proper fuselage in-built 25 MM GAU-12/U 6-barrel rotary internal gun . . . instead of the under wing mounted gun pods that made the F-35B much less stealthy . . .
the British doctrine of a STOVL aircraft carrier severely limits on board flight operations . . . it's high time the Royal Navy revive it's unmatched naval heritage of the 1940s and pursue acquiring a fleet of three brand new 86,809 ton (101,050 ton loaded) stealth (CATOBAR) aircraft carrier powered by cutting edge bioFuelCell3® e-SMARTΔ i-HYBRId® marine propulsion system . . .
the Harrier bounced obsolete fighters with no radar, rwr, countermeasures or defense weapons, returning to base low on fuel after their bombing runs on the brit fleet, hardly an epic achievement.
That would be the radarless Harriers or the radar equipped Sea Harriers? Either way if you shoot them down today, even after they have made their attack, they won't be bombing you tomorrow.
And so did so many other aircraft of the 50s and 60s. It was a handful for the pilots, they’re open about that, but the short/no airfield capability it brought was revolutionary!
Many aircraft from the 50s, 60s and 70s killed their pilots. Its off-runway capability could have been useful if the Cold War went hot. Britain would not have won the Falklands War without the Sea Harrier. And second generation Harriers proved themselves in the CAS role during the Gulf War, over Bosnia, Iraq & Afghanistan. So an aircraft that deserves the recognition it gets.
As others said, many planes killed their pilots, however the Harrier it turned out to heavily come in terms of the US having this issue and that being due to how they were training their pilots/operational usage, once they changed this and adopted similar systems to the British, losses dropped quickly.

Bro make video about bramos missile 🥰🥰

Good video as always. When I was a kid, I made a cardboard model of the Harrier GR3 based on a drawing. It was flying. A complete aerodynamics marvel.

A game changer for a first generation aircraft.
Another great video. On Belize, 1417 flight was reformed to defend Belize, but yes, it was No. 1 Sqn that sent the initial detachment
Harriers are actually worth your money, they will actually do great in a war only in large numbers, they need to be revived

I thought "little bird of prey" was excellent.
@@tomcardale5596 Right......because what do 'Bird-O-Prey' do............. They Hover, before the Attack!!
Great video on a great aircraft. Well done, thank you.

There should be a vídeo detailing every kind of nose that those harriers received. Because there is a Lot of versions, and i dont know the differences
8:32 look how much the deck pitches up and down!!!

Yes yes yes
Include some scenes from true lies into the next...
absolutely

You forgot the flying bedstead, which was the harrier in fact.
If you teach people, dont be leaving things out

Oh you poor snowflake!

@@neiloflongbeck5705 the same can be said about the ships and the sailors
@@martindione386 that's true.
@@neiloflongbeck5705 yes, sadly, RIP all the servicemen and peace for their families, this war shouldn't have occurred
The harrier is overrated. It killed many a pilot and had the flight envelop of a fighter built in the 50s.
Tell that to the Argies.
If you think VTOL capability is overrated....
And so did so many other aircraft of the 50s and 60s. It was a handful for the pilots, they’re open about that, but the short/no airfield capability it brought was revolutionary!
