I think that falls under the “reduced smoke” that he mentioned

kinda hoping they add the mirage 2000-5f mk2 with rdy 2 and keep the current mirage 2000 5f where it is
The manufacturer of the missile explicitly stated “low smoke”. Perhaps you’re confusing it with smokeless which is what you see on the AIM-9M.
Smokeless
Low or reduced smoke
Regular smoke

AIM 9M is reduced smoke

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:
