I woulda jumped too (as the camera man did)
As a side note: Why is that video tagged as being a "New French Anti-Tank Missile... France's latest anti-tank missile, reputed to be as advanced as the American "Stinger" & "Hellfire". "
They look a lot like Canadian Soldiers to me... and that looks a lot like a ERYX (as in the title of this thread)... and from what I understand (and have now observed) about the ERYX system, they're far from as advanced as 'Stingers' or 'Hellfires'.... :
Good video though. It's not often you get to see a live ERYX out of the tube (when not in flight).

CdnArtyWife said:Oh, you should go on to read the comments.
Started out as a France bashing farce based on the vid...which you and I know are not the French, but our guys...then it spiraled rapidly downward into a comical rendition of Canadians and Germans teaching Americans their own history...then to finalize with "Haha, only a Canadian would see a video showing how incompetent and ghetto their military is, and true to their I AM CANADIAN beliefs, say "HEY, IT ISN'T THE FRENCH MILITARY IT'S THE CANADIAN MILITARY!" This pretty much sums the country up, a total joke. "
At first it angered me, then I realized the level of ignorance involved and just chuckle to myself.

Future Unknown said:Was there any real danger of it blowing up? I would assume theres safe guards in place to prevent that.
midget-boyd91 said:The big warhead inside the missile is a pretty real danger of blowing up.... and the safe guard is that its supposed to blow up when it hits its target, unfortunately for users the missile doesn't know which what is what in the perspective of what the target is..whether it be ground or a tank, the impact of hitting ground is sure (and obviously did) to get people running. ;D
cdnaviator said:Eryx range, from a quick google search, is 50-600 meters......... no blow up before that IIRC
