@ Aspis
Here you are with that ref. I promised you :
“Even though the Rafale did not get export contracts yet to promote it,
the MICA has already been exported to many countries including :
Taïwan, Qatar, the U.A.E., Greece, Morocco and Oman.
The question of a successor to the MICA is asked today as its obsolescence
will be definitive around 2020-2025 depending on the version considered.
Such a program requires about ten years of development before its
integration on aerial platforms. The PLM [ Military Programming Law ]
has not yet concerned itself with launching studies yet. The industry can’t
engage the program on their own without a strong intent from the MinDef*
Decisions shall nonetheless be taken quickly in order not to be forced to
buy an off-the-shelf American missile in 2020.”

So maybe you could whisper to someone in charge over in Greece that
they should push for participation now and get a nice cut!
Good day all, Tay.
P.S. @Marcelosg
Have you ever noticed how that pic shows a Typhoon actually?
Oh, and while I’m at it, shouldn’t it be Marcelo_ng? ::rolleyes:
Yes, I have noticed, but no Typhoon had participated on that exercise.
