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 weโ€™ve ever come across on the internet. You can clearly see whatโ€™s going on as well as all of the details of the shootdowns- this also speaks volumes about the Harrierโ€™s capabilities. The pilots on both sides also demonstrated exceptional skill and courage.
