L’Harrier II (“Harrier“) is descended from the predecessor Hawker Siddeley Harrier and is used primarily as a light attack aircraft or as a multi-role aircraft, generally on small aircraft carriers or large amphibious assault ships. It is supplied to some NATO countries, notably the United States of America, Great Britain , Spain and Italy.
