What we knew about who was going to be our Air Enemy :

Well not too much , while getting everything ready to cross to the islands ( about 1st week of April ) information was given to us that we should expect to encounter one Carrier with it's escort and it's flight group .- Doing the Math we had about 12 Sea Harriers to deal with .- In theory it could work out , later and already on the islands information was added and we found out that we were to encounter a much larger force than originaly expected .- The Triple AAA Bateries did the research on the Sea Harriers , study its capacities and limitations .-

Units that belong to Triple AAA in particular the Gada 601 had a Commanding Officer with experience and always foccus on training , I will say they were Very well trained in the Systems , had been practicing a lot , but I also have to say that we did not have "war experience " and that means a lot .-
