[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Well, arming Argentina was a hobby for the British as well. They sold anything from destroyers to helicopters to aircraft carriers to the Argentine Navy, which then went on to use French and US aircraft and French missiles and thus diverted attention from the British elements... As for Exocets, those were a very typical weapons sale, with built-in obsolescence. The engines for the MM.38 model in widespread use expired in the late eighties or early nineties, and the manufacturer won't provide new ones. The French and Germans still have working Exocets, of the MM.40 model, but everybody else still using the weapons risks a high likelihood of them blowing up in the launch canister. Ditto for most of the SAMs Saddam had - it's a wonder he got as many of those airborne as he did. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
