The TCMLRS system effectively doubles the
numerical payload of the Sea Harrier.

NOTES: Since 1996 the Buccaneer is in technical reserve meaning that the
aircraft are maintained to full combat standards and receive monthly systems
checks but only 6 aircraft are flown and only for training purposes to keep a handful
of pilots familiar with the buccaneer's systems.
The Buccaneer is seen mostly as a COIN aircraft and crews mostly train with Umbani practice bombs against stationary or laser designated targets.
