Sea Harrier

The Sea Harrier is a British fighter aircraft developed in the 1970s, primarily designed for carrier-based operations and maritime defense. It is a variant of the Hawker Siddeley Harrier, featuring Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing (V/STOL) capabilities that allow it to operate from smaller carriers and even land bases without long runways. Equipped with advanced radar and missile systems, the Sea Harrier served in various military conflicts, notably the Falklands War. Its agile design and unique vertical lift technology made it effective for air defense, naval patrols, and quick response missions.
