I see what the tenacious pilots of Argentina were able to do to the Brits in the Falklands and it should make us think before oohing and ahhing.

From my amateur knowledge of that war:
Argentina ran out of Exocet missiles. Also the Exocet codes were acquired by the English from Mitterand and Exocets were thus sabotaged.

With enough effective Exocets the British would have lost

The Argentines used Super Etendards to launch the Exocets.

If the Brits took out the planes, the Exocets would have been useless.
