Harrier - end of story

16 British Harrier VTOL attack aircraft last rose into the air during a farewell ceremony for this legendary aircraft.

Harrier, who fought in the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, Harrier, thanks to which the United Kingdom, among others, won over Argentina in the Falklands War of 1982, withdrawn from service. The reason - the revision of the defense budget towards savings and cost reductions.

Many members of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the United Kingdom consider this decision wrong and hasty. The Daily Mail writes that the rejection of the Harrier would save at least 1 billion pounds, while the decommissioned fighter Tornado would save 7, 4 billion pounds. However Tornado remained in the ranks, and Harrier became part of history.
