The European missile manufacturer MBDA, with its production facilities based in France, has announced a remarkable increase in the production of Mistral surface-to-air missiles. According to French Minister of Defense Sébastien Lecornu's latest announcement on April 22, 2024, production has surged from 10 missiles per month in 2022 to an impressive 40 per month. This escalation in production is a strategic response to the heightened demand for military equipment stemming from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
