Argentine fast jet weapons choice - Falklands
I am sure most of us will remember the Argentine attacks on the Navy in San Carlos. Quite a number of ships were hit by bombs that didn't have time to arm.
I always wondered why did their QWI's not select rockets for the job in the first place?
Less explosive power but much more chance of getting a useful hit - who cares if you sink it - just need it to limp away for the reminder of the conflict and job done.
Heavily damaging a few more destroyers or frigates might have been the margin between losing and winning for them.
If I remember right Buccs used to carry SNEBs for similar circumstances off Norway but they seemed to not get a mention in the last few years of ops?
