How does that compare with a daylight raid by Harriers that come screaming in at a great rate of knots at low level with rockets flying through the air.
But that would have exposed the aircraft & their pilots to substantial ground fire and potentially heavy losses which have could have had a negative effect on our morale & a positive one on theirs. Black Buck demonstrated a long reach & a relative measure of invulnerability that had a very positive effect on British morale, certainly at home as I remember it. The effect on Argentine public opinion would have been the opposite I'm sure.
