The real value of the BLACKBUCK raids was that it added another problem to the many the ARgie defenders had -

Keeping a load of people up all night, every night, looking for vulcans is probably as valuable as actually hitting the runway - and you have to keep the radar switched on - which makes identifying it for Harrier strikes all that much easier
