It was an informative and wonderful introduction video about infamous French crotale surfaces to air missiles (family), which widely expanded its several versions and multi upgraded in the world..utilize to attacking airplanes ✈️ in law attitude. Thank you 🙏 ( weapon detective 🕵️♂️) channel for sharing.
The White Supremacist regime in South Africa used the Crotale surface to air missile against Angola and Cuban MiGs during their military intervention in the Angolan Civil War.
Over the course of 7 years, the Saudi air defense shot down 850 Houthi drones...many of which were shot down by the Cortal and Shaheen systems, as well as Oerlikon GDF cannons
Only on paper and marketing claim. In Iraq Operation Desert storm, Crotale was the SAM that failed to hit anything just like Mirage F1 with its R530 Matra and R550 Magic missiles failed to hit any US fighters. Whereas Russian made SA-6 was best performer, even old SA-2 had 1 recorded kill. In air to air, only Russian made R-40 had successfully hit US aircraft. French weapons are inferior to Russian & American.
I hadn’t even read the word “crotale” in 35 years, but it always stuck in my mind for some reason from playing Desert Strike as a kid. Today I found out it was an actual weapon system lol
I can still hear them launching over the chop chop chop of the blades. Those and the Rapiers. That game definitely inspired a long lasting love of air defense systems in me haha

lol you actually said there’s a shoulder mounted variant- ain’t no way someone’s putting this on their shoulder like a javelin/stinger or any other shoulder mounted rockets/missiles.
The original vehicle, as supplied to South Africa, was utterly rubbish on any surface except perfectly flat tarmac or concrete. It got stuck even on mowed grass.
It is a false narrative that drones are such an invincible new threat. Where ever they excel, they do so because they perform a function of some older type of weapon or hardware with less cost and more expendability, not because they are a step into something previously unheard of.
it is so french to cut from the carrier platform end up with an ill proportion. i bet it would be better at the back of any proper sized truck even w/o armor Like Germans, americans and chinese did...
strategic mobility is a thing, and it’s a much more pressing concern for the french than any of those countries (US does it too but everything fits in a C-5 or C-17 and they have dozens of both)
@@DaltonBlack-rz1px France usually fights alone, i highly doubt their action plan is let's buffer up until the U.S comes in... That would be the UK or Germany kind of way. Wtf do you read ?

This weapon is of no relevance. legacy of old design, limited upgrades, unable to deal missile threats and not supplied to Ukraine in meaningful numbers.

Great overview, alot of new and detailed information!
Thank you for your interesting and accurate video, as always.
and with the 16th century French military music in background: "En passant par la Lorraine avec mes gros sabots". Nice!
Thanks so much for video.

Good video. Thanks
Really interesting material. I was always a great fan of Hotchkis chassis
a great vid mate

Oh, I hated the Crotale playing desert strike. Hits harder than the Rapier and too fast to dodge.

Is it lancet proof?
French not like Britain relay on own industry
French navy "Marine Nationale" uses the ASTER system now.
The crotale system is still in use on older ships
Yes Aster 15 and Aster 30

Incorrect, Pakistan hasn't retired crotales, all of them are in service, they are being upgraded infact
Looks like Sean uther proudly old sadf product
lol you actually said there’s a shoulder mounted variant- ain’t no way someone’s putting this on their shoulder like a javelin/stinger or any other shoulder mounted rockets/missiles.
France is a very strong country that has the right forces to confront any aggression but it was found in NATO to be a mistak
no , French army now use ASTER 15 and 30
Still have Crotale NG, they must be replaced by VL MICA.
never what- OUTDATED
So china has this system tech transferred from Thales
Chinese air defense missiles use active phased array radar + vertical launch system
Back in the day it wasn’t Thales but Thomson-CSF. Back then the USA, and other countries as well, also sold military equipment to China.

you forgot canada had the adats
It had land versions too huh.
The original vehicle, as supplied to South Africa, was utterly rubbish on any surface except perfectly flat tarmac or concrete. It got stuck even on mowed grass.
It was quite heavy, because it was an eletric unit basically just for paved ways.
But are they drone proof? 😉
It is a false narrative that drones are such an invincible new threat. Where ever they excel, they do so because they perform a function of some older type of weapon or hardware with less cost and more expendability, not because they are a step into something previously unheard of.
Following experiences in Ukraine, the answer is yes.
