This set features Matra R-550 Magic missiles – short-range air-to-air missiles developed by the French company Matra in the 1970s. They were widely used by the French Air Force and by numerous countries operating Mirage III, Mirage 2000, and other fighter aircraft, on which these missiles served as the primary armament during the Cold War and in modern times. The R-550 Magic missiles proved themselves in various conflicts, including the Falklands War.
