Claude.
Do you know that during 'a conflict' some years ago (best not to =
dwell...good people got hurt), the French:
1. Arranged for the British to be present to out-bid other 'interested =
parties' for supplies of all new Exocets.
2. Told British special forces exactly how to sabotage existing ones so =
they wouldn't work.
3. Provided examples of production Dassault Mirage and 'Super Etendard' =
fighters, so the Royal Air Force could assess their envelope and =
practice fighting against them.
So no need to be 'coy' old bean. We know what you did......
By the way, the Royal Navy was also a major user of this deadly missile =
system (it is obsolete now and has been replaced by an even deadlier =
one), the problem was getting the opponent's Navy to actually come out =
and fight.
Now then...about this beef.....
Rock on...
