It seems both RAF and USMC Harriers are in Afghanistan now and the RAF ones are using rockets:

It was rockets that the Major was initially complaining about:

[Referring to air support during a fight with the Taliban] Harrier couldn't identify and fired rockets that just missed Coy HQ compound. l Comd ... put in a snap ambush and slowed them up with a heavy rate of fire. ... no casualties, lots of ammo expended!

Does anyone know the date and area of this incident? We can probably find out who was in the air that day.
