Aim-9M doesnt produce visible smoke from distance except in certain scenarios which makes it pretty much smokeless in most cases.

Yeah but its called reduced smoke so if MICA is also reduced smoke it should be similar to 9M

You need to compare both missiles in exact scenarios to see if they produce same amount of smoke or not.
Otherwise you can just say it should be same as Aim-9M.

Fair point
Do we have low altitude launch footages for MICA missiles? İt would actually help to see how much smoke does it produce during optimal conditions.

Hey there.
Do you have any low altitude MICA missiles launch footages? İt would be nice to see how much smoke does it produce on optimal conditions actually.

Yes, MICA missiles are used in vertical launch configuration for self-defense on ships so we have numerous videos. But check the videos linked in the report, one of the videos is a vertical launched configuration:

It’s a problem with all missiles currently. It’s encouraged to get videos and tacview clips for now atm.

I don’t think this clip has been posted here before, but if anyone is interested in seeing the MICA EM attempt a 360 degree loop, here’s a video by @_SPECTRA. I’m interested in seeing if the MICA EM will be able to successfully do a loop once they fix the wobbliness since it drains the energy of the missile.
