With production having begun in 1994, the Eryx had remained untested in live combat until in 2008. While having no notable experience, the Eryx has seen deployment in Afghanistan and UN peace-keeping operations. The Canadian Forces have deployed Eryx to Afghanistan but except for the Mirabel thermal imager, the Eryx missile has never been used in operations. French forces fired the Eryx in Afghanistan, for instance during the battle of Alasay in 2009. In early 2013, pictures emerged of the Eryx being used during the French Army operations in Mali. The Eryx was also fired during Operation Sangaris in Central African Republic in 2013.
