MBDA’s Post

On June 23rd, two test firings of the MBDA #MICA IR missile took place, coordinated by the DGA - Direction générale de l'armement and the Armée de l’air et de l’espace from the Cazaux Air Base.   The missiles, launched from a #Rafale and a #Mirage 2000, successfully neutralised two high-altitude balloons (over 20 kilometers), confirming the MICA IR's ability to counter new aerial threats.   MBDA teams demonstrate agility every day to closely meet the needs of the armed forces. These tests, supported by CNES and Dassault Aviation, showcase our air defense expertise in service of #nationalsovereignty.
