History and use of R-550 Magic 2 missiles

The R-550 Magic-2 is a modern short-range air-to-air missile produced by the French company Matra, widely used by the French Air Force and other NATO countries such as Germany, Greece, India, and the United Arab Emirates. The R-550 Magic-2 is an upgraded version of the earlier Magic-1, and its mass production and operational use span the Cold War and modern times (from 1986 to the present).

Magic-2 missiles have most often been, and still are, used on aircraft such as the Mirage III, Mirage F1, Mirage 2000, Dassault Rafale, and Super Étendard. They are known for their participation in numerous combat operations, including during conflicts in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region.
