Also interesting fact but i’ve found a video on the mistral 3 launch, and even if it’s a AA missile, it can lock to ground target (on the vid it’s shooting at a training boat), wonder if older mistral could get something like that would be fun to shoot AA light vehicle with a mistral if out of atgms on Tigers.
You know… It’s all based on “If we can’t make it that good, NATO couldn’t possibly do it better”. It’s hard cope and ubernationalism to the point where official documentation for NATO weapon systems is a weaker source than advertising brochure from the Russian side.
You’re laughing but that’s what happened to the Puma.
We found the designer/manufacturer brochure where they went out of their way to say; “yes, side armour will protect against 30mm APFSDS at any angle”, and Gaijin discarded it i.e only accepted it as a suggestion.
