      There is a lot of disinformation about the Falklands war. Well known things that gradually were "deleted" from history and transformed into "conspiracy theories". France inactivating the Exocet missiles they sold to Argentina (we all remember the photos of the unexploded missiles stuck to a hole in an british battleship, or England sinking one of their own ships to take photos and video for the british news to represent Argentina as _"a violent power threatening England"_ and moving and unite british people in a war against a _"dangerous enemy"._

    Hey, great vid, but I have to admit: Fritz-X was a high-altitude dropped, then free falling and radio guided bomb. It combined the penetration power of a high dropped bomb with the acuracy of a divebomber, without exposing the divebomber to the mid- and small callibre defense-screen (as you mentioned). Yes, there were glide-bombs AND propelled glide bombs but they were not self steering.

      What do you mean not perform quite as advertised? 4 missiles launched and 2 ships sunk is quite a nice effective ratio.

      @@Coyote27981 Wiki says there were at least 7 launches.
      2 launched against HMS Sheffield, 1 missed and 1 hit but did not detonate.
      2 missiles fired at SS Atlantic Conveyor hit and detonated.
      A missile launched against a battlegroup on 30th of May that did not cause any damage.
      2 missiles launched against HMS Glamorgan, one did not acquire the target, the other hit and exploded.
      So of 7 launches, 4 hits and 3 detonations. I admit the misses were maybe due to firing under unfavorable conditions, undertrained crew, ship defenses and firing from an improvised shore launcher. The missile not detonating is a more serious problem, even if it caused damage. Maybe it was stored improperly. I admit that it might have been much more effective under better conditions, we may never know. This is just the data we have.
      I also admit Wikipedia is not the most reliable source, so if you dispute any of this I can dig a bit deeper for a better source.

And even then under those conditions, 1 in 3 is an excellent hit ratio, considering they hacked a sea launched system and turned it into a land based unit. Not even aerospatiale had such a land based system at the time.

  • @richardbell7678
    @richardbell7678 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Given the apparent high dud rate accompanied by catastrophic fires, the Exocet may have been designed to only arm the high explosive warhead after too much fuel had been burned to ensure a really big fire on the target ship. I am told that the warhead detonation tends to hurl the remaining rocket fuel back the way the missile came, off of the ship, while a warhead that does not detonate can still burn. In just about every instance where the warhead did not detonate, the struck ship would have been better off if it had, due to the fire damage from the remaining rocket fuel on the missile.

    • @StoutProper
      @StoutProper 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @becauseiwasinverted5222 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It was not. The delayed-action fuze was only capable of momentary delay, just enough to allow the missile to penetrate deeper into the target. If the warhead did not go off at that point it had malfunctioned.

    • @randombillyn

      @@randombillyn The USS Stark was hit by two Exocet missiles, but only one detonated. The missile that failed to detonate caused a terrible fire. The missile that did detonate did not start a fire. Contemporary accounts suggest that the Exocet that hit HMS Sheffield failed to detonate, and the resulting fire forced the abandonment of the ship.

      The French government cooperated closely with the United Kingdom to prevent any more Exocet missiles being sold to Argentine, including those on the '2nd hand market.' This caused a shortage of Exocet missiles on the part of the Argentinian forces, preventing more British ships being destroyed.
      Furthermore, the French gave the British taskforce access to its ports and facilities in West Africa.

      ​@@TheAnikazone Well, rape victims tend to cry due to trauma.
      And "rape" is the only worthy name for what Argentina, with ordnance from the 40s (Sold by the UK) and warplanes from the 50s (Sold by us) if I may add, did to the "state of the art" Royal Navy.
      There's a reason Britain is no longer acknowledged beyond it's diplomatic weight when it comes to international power relations. It's not that Argentina killed the United Kingdom as a credible military force, sure, they more precisely found it's rotting corpse, but by God did the United Kingdom made a pathetic show of itself.
      Honestly I'm almost sad we didn't support Argentina even further. Then again the Soviets could have also picked up the slack.

    Does anyone make an anti-ship missile that fly's to target and then when only a few hundred yards out drops to the water and continues as a torpedo?

    • @copperlemon1
      @copperlemon1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There are a few anti-sub missiles that could probably, at least theoretically, use their torpedo payload against a ship. SS-N-14 «Silex» is the only one that I know of with that considered in its design though.

    • @copperlemon1
      @copperlemon1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Deplorable_Brian Yeah, there really isn't much of a point to delivering a torpedo by missile to a surface ship. For one thing, the lightweight antisubmarine torpedoes used in such systems typically have much smaller warheads, 100lbs or less, compared to 500-1000lbs on a Mk 48 or other 53cm models.
      If a missile can carry a, let's say, 500lb torpedo, only a fraction of that weight adds destructive potential. In the same hypothetical missile; a 500lb warhead would be more useful.

    • @becauseiwasinverted5222
      @becauseiwasinverted5222 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No. Silex may sound similar but the anti ship version doesn't drop the torpedo, it simply slams into the target with it. The concept has been investigated (look up UGM-89) but the logistics of making it work are not worth the benefits (which, with the ranges of state of art anti missile systems, are not that great to begin with).

    And what was Argentina able to attack RN ships so easily with French built Exocet Missile, until the UK government forced France to stop selling to Argentina, because the UK decommissioned it's AEW Fairey gannet, and that is why the Sea-king was rushed in to operations with something similar to the new "Crows Best" AEW radar within a bag like structure.
