Didn't we get a bit of a nasty shock from Pucaras in the Falklands, even
though we had ground to air missiles.

Wasn't that a problem with Argentinians not playing cricket and coming in
lower than the surrounding cliffs?

Nope,. they didnt do any real damage except to a shed used as an
observation post.

Their only real value was that they could operate from the
short grass and gravel stops on the island where the other
stuff that the Agys had couldnt. They had to operate from
Argentina instead with the real downsides of that.

That sort of aircraft isnt much use in modern warfare anymore.
