Re: Infantry Served Weapons and Organization.
That number is probably right in the "ball-park". You must remember BELGUIM operates the original MISTRAL (1) which was fielded in 1988. MISTRAL 2 wasn't fielded until around late 2001/early 2002 (Production was started in 2000.).
https://missiledefenseadvocacy.org/d...issile-system/
The higher probability numbers are driven by statements like the following...
"The Mistral MANPADS has a high kill probability. After firing more than 3 700 missiles of all variants during training it has a success rate of 92-95%. This missile also has increased maneuverability (30G) at extreme speed. This air defense system also boasts increased flexibility during day and night and is deployable in standalone or in coordinated mode. The Mistral is operable in severe weather conditions." from the same ref, they list all the variants.
http://www.military-today.com/missiles/mistral.htm
The deals with the MISTRAL 2...
"Compared to any other low-level air defence missile, Mistral is more reliable and successful. It has a success rate of 93%." again same ref...
https://www.army-technology.com/proj...stral-missile/
At this writing, I'm not sure whether France and the UK got the latest version MISTRAL 3 which has a supposed accuracy rate of 97%.
However I can confirm SERBIA was the first export customer to receive the MISTRAL 3 in JUL 2019 from the ref above.
I actually believe that MISTRAL (1) in it's time, probably did have a higher hit probability in the low 90% area against targets, again, of it's time.
Dons ref points to current time against " smarter" targets of today. So for MISTRAL (1) in todays target environment to score at about 86% is nothing short of " spectacular" and speaks directly to it's effectiveness for a system BELGUIM never updated (Or FRANCE) and that's 32 years old.

Pat

Re: Infantry Served Weapons and Organization.
Already being fielded...

Like the weather here has been for the last two weeks plus, feeling a little " ****ty" right now.
However there must be some hope as a mysterious bright object is in the sky of yet unknown origin, making everything seem bright and clear. When I figure out what it is, I'll let you know!?! 
Regards,
Pat

Re: Infantry Served Weapons and Organization.
Just there from the news aspect on what's been three nights of hardly any sleep. At least I made it to my weekend, which now officially makes me fall under the care of " Dr." CINCLANTHOME, I'm in good hands now as the " vaporizer" is warming up!?! 
Have a good weekend!
Regards,
Pat
