Do you mean the Harrier II+, radar and AMRAAM equipped jets that our Mediterranean and USMC friends fly? Sorry but GR7/9 just doesn't measure up. At least the SHAR has/had A/A capability. Still its nice to have mud Harriers in a package. At least then you know theres someone single engine, slower and with less fuel than you. They always pick off the stragglers first. Leave them on the boats where they belong.
