The MMP was recently tested in extreme cold weather conditions. The testing was performed on the Swedish state firing range at Vidsel, located near the Arctic Circle with temperatures between -15 °C and -30 °C, the cold weather campaign of the MMP was a complete success.

The MMP has been in service with the French Army since last year and is still to date the fifth generation land combat missile of the world to be deployed in military theatres of operations.
