Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems. We tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyzes, and tells the untold. You can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future will be. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

    The Harrier II doesn't have 6 (or 8 for the British version) hardpoints but 7 (or 9): the central fuselage point seems to always be forgotten 🤔 (and I've not mentionned the two points for the cannons).

    No the Harrier II moniker only applies to the AV-8B and the GR5/7/9 variants. The Sea Harrier is considered a separate variant and was covered in Weapon Detective's video on the first generation Harrier, released right before this video.

    It was the people asking for close air support who compared the Harrier to the A-10. They found that they much preferred the A-10, which is not so much a knock on the Harrier, as it is on the policy makers who didn't provide an appropriate aircraft for the task. When you want to hear BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT and all you get is pppfffft, and your life is on the line, well, you're entitled to be critical.

    @@scottstewart5784 Read an article that the brrrt part as an real efect is geting less and less relevant thogh since most targets are taken out by bombs and Maverics mostly by A-10. A Super Tucano probably beats a Harrier in a selected enviroment CAS. Anyway we are talking about a fringe aplication of CAS anyhow agist non peer oponents were loiter time/range is more important than performance (not that a A 10 beats a Harrier on that front (weapon load at least)handly too ,-) ). Find it telling that even genrals in irak rated the harrier quite good. yet you find someone naging. Well you cant deploy A-10 from Auault ships really sounds more like someone having a serious 1st world problem complaing and then comparing this 2 planes. And its a good thing that thease planes can operate from airbases that dont require tha harriers speacial traitsbecause if your enemy craters your frontline airfields enogh that teh harriers abiltys really shine your in deep ship anyhow.
