I think the UK's relationship with France is all too often misrepresented. There's too much emphasis on the politics of the EU and too little on the depth of military cooperation between us.
Having sold planes and missiles to Argentina, France was mortified to see those weapons deployed against us and immediately started doing everything possible to show us how to defeat those weapons.
