[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1533804, member: 14668"] No the Exocet was state of the art and equal to anything made by us or the Soviets at the time. At the outbreak of hostilities, there were French engineers in Argentina helping them install and calibrate the six newly-purchased Exocet missiles onto their Super Etenard strike aircraft. Most of the engineers were ordered by the French government to stop work immediately and leave, but a few allegedly "disobeyed" orders and remained behind to complete the work. Another theory holds that they did so in an attempt to sabotage the missiles. France also suspended all additional foreign orders for the Exocet during the war in order to prevent Argentina from obtaining any more of them. [/QUOTE]
