@@oscarcorrea7986 It is a reference to the Falkland war where Argentina sunk two RN HMS Sheffield and SS Atlantic Conveyor ships with the exocet missile . Must be said that the RN used to deploy exocet before they switched for once again US weapons aka the Harpoon . They rather buy US than from Europe unfortunately . The good part is that the exocet and the UK harpoon will be replaced by a new joint developed missile FC/ASW around 2030 , Italy has also decided to join all this is finally beneficial for European defense industry .
@@JULIENSELLIER Thanks for the clarification. I was more likely teasing @RaytheonTechnologies_Official who I believe refers to the UK embracing, first Harpoon and now NSM against the previous use of MM38 at the end of the 70s as SSM weapon; I believe RTX judges their products superior to those from MBDA particularly MM40Mk3C (different products and solutions, different generations also). In the end governments and armed forces rightly tent to favor sovereign technologies. UK has selected solid products with a heavy involvement of their industry in development and production of such products/technologies. some with US counterparts other with European counterparts including RTX and MBDA.
@@JULIENSELLIER "rhetorical" means you weren't expected the provide an answer, because the person asking it was making the point that everybody knows the answer.
Royal Navy chaffed/decoyed the exocet, diverting it from a combat surface vessel to an unprotected civilian ship (Atlantic Conveyor). The exocet was vulnerable to decoys and its warhead did not always explode on impact. The US navy may dislike this video regarding a nasty 1987 exocet incident that killed 37 of their sailors.
It was rather François Mitterand who ordered the French engineers to decode the missile and thus protect the British ships. Otherwise in terms of jamming the French are largely superior to the Americans. In Ukraine we saw that American weapons are easily jammed by the Russians unlike French weapons.
funny to think that the UK is now building the next generation of missiles that were used by Argentina to shoot down one of their ships - quite ironic ahaha
Please next time speak in french, it would be easier for everyone ... I'm a french speaker and even though I barely understood half of what you said. Just speak in french and add some subtitles, it would be great. Thanks
It seems to me that Brazil has a MANSUP anti-ship missile similar to the Exoxet MM block 40, but with a range of 75 km and another in partnership with the United Arab Emirates MANSUP-ER with a range of 200 km, is this true?
MBDA IS NOT a company, it is a consortium, a consortium is a group of comapnies who combine and work together for better results. MBDA UK is NOT part of the French MDBA, or Italian MBDA. They are all seperate companies!!
@thetruthhurts7675 MBDA est une SOCIÉTÉ MULTINATIONALE, filiale d’Airbus (37,5 %), de BAe Systems (37,5 %) et de Leonardo (25 %), issue de la fusion de Matra BAe Dynamics, d’Aérospatiale Matra Missiles, d’Alenia Marconi Systems et de LFK Gmbh, qui rivalise aujourd'hui avec l'américain Raytheon. On retrouve Saab (Meteor), Diehl DGT (Trigat), Safran (OtoMat) ou Thales (Crotale NG) comme collaborateurs. Un consortium est un Groupement d'Intérêt Économique comme l'était "Euromissile", avec Aérospatiale et MBB (Hot, Milan, Roland). Mais il s'agit bien de fusion pour MBDA... 😊
That’s actually incorrect. MBDA is a joint venture of Airbus, BAE and Leonardo headquartered in France, which is administratively divided by countries (mainly the original 3 - France, UK, Italy, and subsequently Germany and Spain for the EADS subsidiaries acquired there). It is a single company.
Well for the new variant . As for the old one the list is long . Argentina/Brunei/Bulgaria/Brazil/Cameroon/Chile/Colombia/Cyprus/Ecuador/Egypt/Greece/Indonesia/India/Kuwait/Libya/Malaysia/Morocco/Oman/Pakistan/Peru/Qatar/South Africa/Thailand/Tunisia/Turkey/UAE/Uruguay
It seems that most of these missiles are produced in a sort of workshop manner, assembly takes lots of steps and probably there are all sorts of bottlenecks. For me it seems that ramping up is a bit more complicated... I don't think this is just a MBDA problem, but more general within the weapons industry regarding more complex products.
@@kevinvandal8595yes , and also there are different products available plus unmanned boats equipped anti-ship missiles ! Even Drones won’t into 75km range !

Hi Xavier, thank you for having shot this video/interview in English for us - very informative and entertaining 👍👍👍
The Royal Navy disliked this
why? and this is a purely rhetorical question...

Shout out to the Argentinian Navy, they should have a discount for the "advertising" of Exocets.
I wonder if the French sell Exocets to Iraq, again.
Excellent interviews and very interesting content. Merci Xavier.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the video. Very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Xavier. MBDA's facility is located in Selles-Saint-Denis and not La Celle-Saint-Cloud 😉
Indeed! Thank you!
Excellent
gorgeous.

Exocet since the 80s? What then was MM38 in the 70s?

Well when its good its good and the French didn't plan this incident to happen they were just in a hurry to make money like everybody else 🤔👍

Oui ! Ils ne font aucun effort sur la prononciation !!!!

Still short range ! Those ranges no chance in the Mediterranean Sea !!
They are both weak sauce missiles
The Harpoon ER range is nearly 300km
Sim e você sabe muito bem 💁

And can it hit someting what is moving? If you shoot someting at 240km away and it is moving. It will be somewere als when it got there.
