| Senior Member   | lol oh really I think there is a slight design problem there obviously the engineer forgot to put a descent motor in it if it just flopped outa the tube like that so how can it be effective against a tank?

| They are actually French Canadians. They are wearing Canadian Army camoflauge, not French Army camoflauge. The missile is the new Eryx missile. Obviously they still have some bugs to work out. And yes the French did help develop the missile. Last edited by Dallas; 02-17-2007 at 06:08 AM. |

|  That's the new UN-mandated "Safety Missle" - intended to give the enemy a stern warning, but not endanger anyone. The fully developed model will deliver a "Humanitarian Ration" packet with a multi-lingual message of world peace and brotherhood.

| If they're canadian, then I doubt they're much french at all. The French canadians are from Quebec, and at the moment, Quebec is having issues with Canada. Apparently Quebec wants to become its own country.... |

| The Canadian Provience of Quebec has wanted to be their own country since the British took Canada away from the French after the Seven Years War (French and Indian War to us Yanks). The Parti Quebeque (spelling) made a serious effort in the 1970's to break away from Canada, but some concessions from Ottawa kept Quebec in. |

| Resident Armed Liberal  | From the way they all scrambled I'd say that thing was live, not just a test dummy. Or maybe they were worried about the motor going bang. Hope no one got hurt...

| I dont think that is the new French wonder missle. According to latest test results, the average French soldier can hit a tank with it up to one mile away, behind him while he is running away at top speed!! |
