Russia hadn’t lost a warship to an attack since World War II. ...
But a fair number due to incompetence, etc.
I wonder if the French still have some exocets they’d be willing to donate.
The Exocet though still used is basically obsolete. The supersonic and hypersonic antiship missiles are the new rage.
Those caused Thatcher to threaten Mitterand she would use nukes on Argentina if it did not stop… I think delivery of French exocet would trigger WWIII, which is what China and Putin are hoping for, in a way. Their troops are better than ours at pushing in hellish terror conditions of incompetence and other disasters
