. It is extremely unlikely that any bullets bounced off the road
would strike a tank's belly armour at an angle better than 30 degrees
(that would involve the plane attacking in a dive steeper than that).

You make an excellant case as to why something that those of us who were there
know happened, could never have happened.

The crew of HMS Broadsword knew for sure that she was attacked by two
Dagger aircraft on 23 April 1982 during one of the Argentinean raids,
and they reported one shot down by 20mm gunfire.

They were there, are you going to disagree? Trouble is, there were four
Daggers, not two, in that flight - and all four returned safely. The
pilots were there too.


The men who were there know what happened - except that one side has to
be mistaken. Combat isn't a good place for detailed technical
evaluations.
