Not to ruin your joke but the missile and aircraft are originally French.

Yeah, French PR for weapon and nuclear sales was awkward during the 70s-80s.

Yep, but it doesn't change the fact that the most noteworthy targets of Exocets were British, with the missiles being launched by Argentinians.

Double funny that the Storm Shadow is part french, too...

The French version is called SCALP and the Brit Storm Shadow. Same missile as I understand it. People were amused to see pictures of both together on the same aircraft flying for Ukraine.
