Yes, I am not an English native speaker and sorry for the bad spelling.

Thanks for the correction...I could find my mistake and corrected it.

About the bombs, the Argentine Air Force used the Spanish 500 lbs BR250 bombs.

Two BR250 were loaded in the IAI Dagger A (Israeli copy of the Mirage V).
The fuses were,
*Super Super Quick, detonating on impact.
*Kappa E 2,8 sec fuse delay.

The HMS Plymouth was attacked by 5 IA Dagger A on June 8th and hitted by 4 BR250 bombs and any of them exploded.
She was really lucky that day.
