Thanks for the imput guys, my knowledge of missle sustems is a bit lacking, didn't realise that you couldn't just rig an AAM like you can with a TOW.
about anything that can hit a Gazelle is enough to bring it down. Quoting from a guy working with them, they've got 'armor proof against burst of laughter' (translated for the 'blindé contres éclats de rire' french original).

that's also an unstransaltable wordplay as in french 'éclat' means 'shrapnel', meaning the Gazelle isn't even armored against shrapnel.
