Historical Information about the Sea Harrier FA.2

The Sea Harrier FA.2 was a modern version of the British vertical takeoff and landing fighter aircraft used by the Royal Navy (United Kingdom). It entered service in 1993 during the Cold War era and played a key role as a carrier-based fighter on Invincible-class aircraft carriers. It was distinguished by its advanced avionics and Blue Vixen radar, which later became the foundation for technologies used in the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet. The Sea Harrier FA.2 took part in operations over the Balkans and participated in NATO missions until the end of its service in 2006.
