Thanks very much for posting that video.
Fascinating.
Whatever their claims, they were undoubtedly a very effective deterrent to many attacks by us against the airfield, so even if they didn't actually shoot down a number of aircraft, they most certainly stopped us from carrying out more effective attacks than we did. Well done them!
If the black dots are representative of 1000lb bombs landing in the area, then I can claim at least some of them - even if many of them didn't actually hit anything worthwhile! I assume the Black Buck raids offer some of the strings shown, so well done to those guys and their tanker supporters!!
Perhaps we were as good a deterrent against them using the airfield to better effect as they were to us from attacking it better.
So war has different views from different sides, and different effects.
But war is not a good way to resolve differences, as we are seeing in Ukraine.
Thanks for that - great video.
