By 11:00 am on 30 May, several Royal Air Force (RAF) Harrier attack formations were reported active over Mount Kent, near Mount Challenger in support of the forward SAS patrols. Upon detecting them, Llambias Pravaz ordered his conscripts to open fire with rifles and machineguns, with the platoon commander personally manning a machinegun. He would later learn that his platoon hit a Harrier, forcing the pilot, Squadron-Leader Jerry Pook to abandon his GR-3 Harrier off Port Stanley/Puerto Argentino.

==No-Man's-Land==
During the patrol actions near the Murrell River, Llambias Pravaz fought two fierce actions against the Recce Platoon under Lieutenant Chris Fox of the 45th Commando Battalion, which had about fifty well-armed and artillery-backed troops. In the fighting of 3 June, which lasted until noon, the forward section of the 3rd Rifle Platoon of Second Lieutenant Lautaro Jiménez Corbalán on Mount Harriet forced back an entire platoon of Royal Marines under Lieutenant Chris Marwood from the 42nd Commando Battalion on Mount Wall, with the help of reinforcements from Llambias Pravaz's platoon.
