Argentina ordered 15 Super-Etendards and AM39 Exocets from France. They received 5 of each, with 1 plane used for parts. The Sheffield was destroyed with one exocet, and 2 sank the Atlantic Conveyor (with most of the Army's supplies and helicopters.) An AM38 sank the Glamorgan. Looks like the IFF info didn't help. (Had either of the British carriers Hermes or Invincible been sunk, Britain would have retreated.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exocet#Falklands_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exocet#Falklands_War
