  • Ooops!!

    Althought this would have been very unsettling for the soldiers the missile most likely would not have armed ans there were insufficient launch forces to disengage the built in safety features. Therefore the only dammage done was to their underwear...

    Plop, plop, fizz, fizz....GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!

    The missile was probably destroyed later in place with C4.

    • big mistake

      I wonder what the hell the instructor were thinking. To fire the eryx, you need AT LEAST 1m clearance (approx 3feet) from the missile to he ground.(if I remember correctly) The missile will not be armed until flytime is X meter (don`t remember). So no one should be harmed in the seqense. Murphy`s law rules.

    • :.

      The arm distance for a missile that size I would imagine would around 40-50 meters, so they're quite safe. This happened to my friend also in the Finnish Military, only he had a smaller, handheld model.

    • don't buy an Eryx

      You would have better luck throwing rocks at a fraction of the cost.

    • Could have been a hangfire.

      It's not just the missile going "BOOM" that they had to worry about. If the rocket motor was a "hangfire" it oould have lit off late, on the ground, and the round could have flown in any direction (not to mention spraying them all with fire).

    • ok

      canadians use the f***ing eryx ok!

      By set_2_b1 1173040172
  • Umm..

    Those were French soldiers not Canadian soldiers.

    Canadians don't use the Eryx, they use the Javelin missile that they get from the US.

    • they are canadians

      Hey I'm French and I can assure you this is the accent from Quebec... quite different from French

    • yes

      dam that must be scary when it just falls out of the tub

      By MAD KID 1178253499
    • Those were Canadian soldiers.

      I can't speak to the armament, but the accent of the French spoken in this clip is uniquely Canadian.

    • Canada

      Canadian Forces do employ the Eryx. It's used by a number of countries besides France.

  • I bet...

    after running away they probably tried to surrender to someone and had to be reminded it was just training!!! ....... ;-P

    By UbarFubar 1172611167
  • Fault

    I guess they didn't wind the elsatic band enough, or it snapped when they fired.

    By PorkyPig 1177858209
  • Fire in the hole!!!

    That would get the blood flowing!! Not to mention some other fluids. Maybe even a solid!

    Why would that happen? Is it expired, or just a dud or what?

    By furvest 1177789858
  • ...

    Canada has soldiers?

    Easy fellows...only ribbing you... Although you don't have a large military...you do have some fine soldiers.

  • oooohhh crap

    dont you hate it when that happens.

    By archangel alpha 1177770213
  • ERYX procedure

    No, you do not HAVE to have a certain ground clearance, but it is a recomendation in place. A DUD like the one that was fired will remain inactive due to the lack of explosive launch force (the activiation trigger, then followed by a time delay to ensure sufficient distance from firing base) In brief, the missile in the video would not have exploded, unless there was a fault with the missile firing mechanism, AND the triggering, AND the safety, AND the CO. So NAH, it won't explode.

    By mrkay 1174812989
  • Thats what I call

    a short range missile. Not very usefull but who am I to blame anyone.

  • Not a big selling point

    That is one vid they would like to NOT have when trying to sell more of them....To funny. And yes it does not arm to it is well down range, but anyone in the right mind would run. Better to run today and fight another day.
