The Falklands terrain very much favours the jet as I'm sure you are aware.
No trees, no buildings, lots of areas with not much terrain to hide in and no roads filled with vehicles. Added to this you have generally epic viz.
Try Norway and you have rather less chance
As SimonK says, references to finding Hips flown non tactically are irrelevant. It's the equivalent to shooting down a Ryanair Boeing on the Dublin run vs shooting down a B1B. Both are big, but they are a very different proposition.
