French missile used by Argentinian forces during the Falklands War (6)

I believe the answer is:

exocet

(Other definitions for exocet that I've seen before include "French-built anti-ship missile" , "which may be guided to hit ship" , "Short range guided missile" , "Short-range guided missile" , "Weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
