yep, the exocet was a french missile, and a very useful one aswell. The argies where using british made missiles at the start of the war but for some reason the always seemed to miss the british ships, lol.

that's one thing the french have always been mysteriously good at - weapon design.
 
Never any good at using them though.
 
Trafalgar? and what's the name of that famous ABBA song that won the eurovison song contest?
 
I will never understand how people can make ridiculous statements like "the french never were good at using weapons" and then think they are actually backing it up by citing a few battles that they lost. Idiocy!

Actually that's not strictly true, I think I understand it a bit better every time it happens.

A fine person to preach about ridiculous statements. Do you think i would use a 200 hundred year old battle and a swedish pop band as references if i was being serious?

Hmmm, sorry. But I've heard worse. You never know what the fluffbunnies will come up with these days.
