Бельгия не брала
Ракета, уважаемый PQ, разработана по заказу бельгийской компании CMI Defence для предлагаемой ею 105-мм башенной огневой системы CT-CV. Система CT-CVэта пока что в опытных образцах только, и уж в любом случае не имеет отношения к ВС Бельгии.
От себя добавлю, что возможный предположительный заказчик сего "Фаларика"- саудовская Национальная гвардия, которая планировала закупать машины LAV-III, в том числе в варианте огневой поддержки с этими башнями CT-CV. Но там пока что до стадии контрактов не дошло.

Ukrainian guided weapon developed for Belgian 105 mm gun
Grzegorz Holdanowicz
The Ukrainian state-owned Luch Design Bureau in Kiev has developed the new Falarick 105 gun-launched anti-tank guided missile. Developed at the request of the Belgian company CMI Defence, this laser-beam guided missile was funded by CMI to create a weapon primarily intended for use from the company's 105 mm high-pressure rifled gun used in CT-CV weapon system.
Falarick was developed during 2008 and 2009 and successfully completed live firing tests conducted in Scotland during February 2010. Two missiles launched from the Piranha III 8x8 mounted CT-CV turret engaged targets located about 2,900 m away.
According to CMI Defence, Falarick is 101.5 cm long and weighs not more than 25.2 kg. Its general description matches that of Luch's 105 mm gun-launched anti-tank guided weapon for the Chinese Type 59 family of tanks, and resembles the 100 mm, 115 mm and 120 mm missiles developed for T-62/T-64/T-72-120/T-84-120 MBTs.
The stabilised gun of the CT-CV is coupled to a computerised day/night fire control system that allows static and moving targets to be engaged with a high first-round hit probability. This standard fire-control system needs minor modifications to match it to the Falarick missile but this could easily be done should a potential client emerge.
The missile is designed to be fully compatible with the turret's automatic loader. Used to allow the turret crew to be reduced to only a commander and gunner, it is designed to carry between 12 and 16 rounds of different type.
Falarick can reach its maximum range of 5 km in 17 seconds. Its tandem hollow-charge (high-explosive anti-tank) warhead is reported to be able to penetrate 550 mm of steel armour protected by explosive reactive armour.
Since the CT-CV's gun can be elevated up to 42 degrees (or an optional 55 degrees), the missile could also be used to engage low-flying aerial targets.
Following the MSPO Defence Exhibition in Kielce, Poland, on 6-9 September, CMI Defence organised a small presentation of the CT-CV turret and Falarick missile at military automotive and armour institute WITPiS in Sulejowek, Poland. Several dozen Polish military, industry and defence media representatives took part in this event.
