Argentina had long claimed (and still does claim) the Falkland Islands despite their status as a British Crown Colony. On April 2, 1982, Argentine forces rolled in and took the virtually undefended islands for themselves. They didn't think Britain would try to get it back. The Harrier GR.3 proved them wrong. Only fourteen of this type and a few dozen Sea Harriers were available to Britain against the entire Argentine Air Force, but they definitely made their presence known. Today, the Falklands are back in British hands.
