Awesome Modern Footage of Jet vs Jet Combat

This footage features a tense aerial battle during the Falklands War. 10 weeks into the war, two British Harriers found themselves protecting damaged ships. Suddenly, Argentine Skyhawks appear, and a fierce dogfight ensues.

Got to say, this has to be one of the best aerial combat footage we’ve ever come across on the internet. You can clearly see what’s going on as well as all of the details of the shootdowns- this also speaks volumes about the Harrier’s capabilities. The pilots on both sides also demonstrated exceptional skill and courage.
