So why make this statement ?

because ive never heard anything about it ive never heard anyone say anything about british weapons being deployed abroad exception of exocet.

You are taking the piss now aren't you. :-?

Isn't the Exocet missile French?

http://www.answers.com/topic/exocet-2

Yeah, IIRC, along with the Super-Etendards they launched them from.

We sell a lot of weapons around the world :doh:

acctualy exocet is joint french and british BAe systems Basildon acctualy make parts of the missile and they were deployed on british type 22 Batch 1 and i think 2 frigates

Making a few parts under license in Basildon does not make exocet an Anglo-French missile.

british bought into exocet so it is anglo french just like our new carriers will be anglo french only this time france has bought into the programme as we did with the exocet.

What did the UK contribute to Aerospatiale for Exocet then ?

ESD ADAC X-band monopulse active radar homing system is acctualy british although never used as we havnt developed any ASM missiles our selves for a while.

also the newer exocets have a more improved again british radar guidence systerm.

also britian is or was a sponsor for exocet in the early days and worked along side france to build them, a bit like the project horizon FFG/DDG that france and italy are building, did you know britian was to order project horizon ships also?

but later they went ahead and designed the type 45 and boy dont they look very similar.

dont have to make nothing to be part of something, like shares and stocks buy a share in a company you do squat but your money does the work

Well that is news to me, your source ?

il scan a picture of my mates face if thats proof enough he works for BAe systems will that do?

also have a look at defence buget think you will find the exocet is listed down there as we still sponsor it, but you got to wait till march god dam it :damn:

and if you want to go into company credentials BAe systems share own part of aerospatiale as the ATR series of planes were part british part frence as were the later BAe 146 now avro RJ100 (think cant remember clearly)

Do ? For what ?
