However, it did achieve several long-range kills. * Sea Cat missile, Sea Cat Land-based surface-to-air missiles * Roland (air defence), Roland - Argentine forces deployed a single launcher to defend Stanley airport; it succeeded in shooting down one Sea Harrier (''XZ456'') on 1 June 1982 above 10,000 feet (3000 m). The presence of the launcher forced British aircraft to operate above its envelope – typically at 18,000 feet (5,500 m) which severely reduced the accuracy of bombs dropped on the airport. The single Roland unit was later shipped back to Britain for analysis and testing. * Tigercat missile, Tiger Cat - Argentine land forces had a total of 7 Tigercat missile launchers (Ex RAF); there were several near misses, and possibly one BAE Sea Harrier, Sea Harrier had its engine damaged by shrapnel from one of the missiles.
