"French" Military Missile

I can't vouch for the authenticity of either the attached (4mb) video, or the accompanying text. I found it ... interesting. You may, too.

H/T to D.C., who use to shoot with us before he moved out of state (hope he comes back some day) via Paul the Soccer Coach:

READ THE INFORMATION BEFORE YOU VIEW THE VIDEO!!
A freind [sic] of mine sent this to me... Very interesting

This is a clip of a French-Canadian infantry soldier firing an Eryx anti-tank missile.
The Eryx came in to their inventory about ten years ago. The Eryx is made in France.

A lot of people poke fun at the French military but this may give you a better appreciation of their capabilities.This is PROOF POSITIVE!!!
