	Army Technology - Mistral - Air Defence Missile System
		Mistral is a very short-range air defence missile system that can be used from various platforms — vehicles, surface ships and helicopters, as well as in a portable configuration.
		The compressed air initiates the missile's gyroscopes and is used as the coolant for the infrared detectors.
		The missile is fired when the gunner sees a confirmation light on the launcher to signal that the infrared sensor system is locked-on to the target.

		Notes: This French-built antiaircraft missile is fired from a pedestal mount or a vehicle mount.
		The pedestal mount is used to provide a more stable firing platform, but it is a bit heavy and as a result even the MANPADS Mistral is normally carried by a light vehicle even if it is not actually mounted on that vehicle.
		The Mistral is being used by almost 20 countries.

		We agree that the firing of several missiles was the cause of this disaster and that the evidence points to an act by elements hostile to the United States.
		There was also a missile launched from a point 2.9 miles to the SSE of TWA Flight 800 from the vicinity of a "30-knot" vessel which then proceeded to sail out to the high seas and away from the downed aircraft.
		In our opinion the missile launched from close to shore was a terrorist attack, while the nature of the "30 knot" vessel that launched a later missile remains an open question.
