Mind you, I'm not taking anything away from the Harriers, their kill rate ratio was most impressive.
Starting with just 20 Sea Harriers, a further eight joined the Task Force by mid-May. A total of six were lost by accident or ground fire, and not one in air-to-air combat.
On the other hand the Argentine losses were 44 aircraft of all types shot down by enemy fire, 31 of those being fighters and 18 of which were as a result of Sea Harrier CAP.
A better breakdown of the figures below.
