Ndege Zapadera Zimapereka Makampani a Madzi a ku United States Mphepete mwa Kumenyana
Ndege ya AV-8B yothamangitsira ndege ndi ndege yomwe imakhala ngati helikopita ndipo imatha kuchoka ndikupita paliponse pomwe pali helikopita. Chifukwa chotha kuyendetsa Wowonongeka / Wochepa Kutenga ndi Kufika (V / STOL), ndege ya AV-8B Harrier II imapatsa US Marine Corps kuyenda ndi kutentha kwapadera panthawi ya nkhondo pamadera ovuta. Pokhala ndi luso lotha kuchoka ndi kupanda malo opanda mpweya, Harrier amapereka US Marine Corps kukhala osinthasintha pa bwalo la nkhondo kuti ma helikopita kapena jets zina sizikugwirizana.
Nkhondo Zogonjetsa Ndege
The Harrier II ndi ndege zowonongeka zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito polimbana. Chifukwa chakuti amatha kuyendetsa pang'onopang'ono ndi kutsetsereka pamtunda wautali, AV-8B Harrier II nthawi zambiri amatchedwa "Harrier Jump Jet." Ndege yapangidwa ndi McDonnell Douglas, yomwe tsopano ili mbali ya Boeing Company. Mapulogalamu oyambirira a Harrier anapangidwa ndikuyamba kutumikira kumapeto kwa zaka za m'ma 1960. Kusinthidwa kwa ndege ya Harrier kunalowa muutumiki ndi asilikali a US mu 1985, ndipo kusiyana kwa ndegeyi kwagwira ntchito kuyambira nthawi imeneyo.
The Harrier II imagwiritsidwa ntchito makamaka ku mazunzo. Ndege ikhoza kuyambika kuchokera kwa ogwira ndege ang'onoang'ono ngakhale zombo zazing'ono zamatsinje. US Marine Corps ndiye woyendetsa ndege za Harrier II. Komabe, zida zina zimagwiritsanso ntchito ndege zosiyanasiyana, kuphatikizapo a British, Spanish ndi Italy Navies.
Maofesi a Air-to-Air
The Harrier II ikutha kugwiritsa ntchito zida zosiyanasiyana zankhondo. Zidazo zikuphatikizapo: Mpweya wa Advanced Medium wa mpweya (AMRAAM). Mtsinje wa Sparrow ndi maulendo ena a AGM-65 Maverick. Komanso mivi yotsutsana ndi Harpoon ndi Sea Eagle. Mankhwala 25mm opatsirana ndi mpweya wapatali ndipo USMC Zosokoneza zimaphatikizidwa ndi 1,000lb Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM).
AIM-120A Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile ndi nyengo-yamoto, moto-ndi-kuiwala, missile ya air-to-air, yokhala ndi wofufuza wa radar wogwira ntchito ndi ndondomeko yothamanga kwambiri. Mtundawu uli pa mtunda wa makilomita oposa 50, ndipo liwiro la msilikali ndi 1.2km pamphindi.
AIM-7 Mbalame yamtundu wautali, misala ya air-to-air imachitika muzitsulo zamagulu a mayiko ambiri, kuphatikizapo mayiko ogwiritsa ntchito ndege ya Harrier II Plus. The Harrier II Plus ikutha kuyendetsa Nyanja Yopanda Nyanja Yotsutsana ndi Zombo, zomwe ndi moto-ndi-kuiwala, missile yamadzi yozungulira nyanja yomwe inayendetsedwanso ku Sea Harrier, ndi mzere wozungulira ndege wa Harpoon AGM-84. .
Kukonzekera
Mpukutu wa Pegasus turbo injini 11-61 (F402-RR-408) wochokera ku Rolls-Royce umapereka chiŵerengero chokwanira cholemera kwambiri ndipo umapitirizabe kugwira ntchito pamalo otentha ndi apamwamba kwambiri ndipo amatha kukwera masentimita 14 pa mphindi.
Zizindikiro zazikulu za ndegeyi ndi zazikulu Zowonjezera Zowonjezera Madzi (LERX) ndi Zipangizo Zowonjezera Zowonjezera Zapamwamba (LIDs) zomwe ndizitsulo zochepa zowonongeka pamphuno, mchira ndi mapiko omwe amachititsa kuti ziziyenda mofulumira. . Ndegeyi ili ndi zida zogwira pansi pa fuselage ndi mapiko, kuthamanga kwa mapiko (mapiko othamanga mapiko omwe amapanga mbali ina ya mapiko ake), ndipo mawotchiwa amawongolera kwambiri.
AV-8B Zothandizana pa Kulimbana Nkhondo
Mu Gulf War of 1990-91, pa Operations Desert Shield ndi Dera la Stere AV-8B Zowonongeka zinatha pafupifupi 4,000 ndege zotsutsana ndi zida za Iraq.
Mu 1999, AV-8B anali ku Yugoslavia pa Operation Allied Force.
Mu 2001, a AV-8B adagwira ntchito ku Operation Enduring Freedom ku Afghanistan pamene adayamba kumenyana ndi Taliban pambuyo pa 9-11.

Mu 2011, USMC AV-8Bs idayambitsidwa kuchokera ku USS Kearsarge ku Mediterranean Sea pothandizira Operesa Odyssey Dawn, kuyimitsa malo a UN omwe alibe ndege ku Libya.
Kuphatikiza pa mikangano yayikulu, USMC AV-8Bs yakhala ikugwiritsidwa ntchito pothandizira ntchito zopereka chithandizo padziko lonse la Africa m'ma 1990.
USMC AV-8Bs idaperekedwa ku Iraq motsutsana ndi mphamvu za Islamic State (IS). Kuwonetsetsa opitiliza ntchito kunapitiliza chiyambi cha kuyambika kwa ntchito yolimbana ndi zigawenga za IS.
