"Wrong usage of Airforce "

Right on. Had it not been for the phenominal bravery of the Argy A-4 drivers, there would have been no war at all.

Those guys deserve credit for how they executed in the face of all stupidity by their superiors.

Many of them knew that they were at the extreme limit of their range, but stayed focused and on mission, in spite of the problems.

US training in the spotlight.

Argentinians were extremly brave pilots, one even tried to attack carrier with Pucara.

A-4s could do much serious damege if they hade Maverick missiles or even older Bullpup missiles.

With 20-30 Exocets Etendars could sink carriers. and if based on Falklands Brits wouldnt even get near falklands.
