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.
