MMP
only gets better from here...
From UPI...
"The first 175 launchers and 450 missiles will be delivered by 2019, the company said."

From Army Technology good systen data, with my highlight in the quote...
"The entire MMP
development programme is funded by MBDA, and is
scheduled to be completed by 2017." That would indicate a later fielding date probaly in line with the first ref.

From Deagel...
Basically same article from previous posts (I have to be fair here.) however note the upper left corner they predict sometime in 2017.

From army-recognition...
"The plan includes the delivery of 400 firing units and 2,850 missiles. A total of 175 firing units and 450 missiles will be delivered between 2014 to 2019."
A very good site and French.

From JANES again with my highlight in the quote...
MBDA has carried out a series of trials of the warhead and propulsion systems of its MMP (Missile Moyenne Portée - Medium Range Missile), which will provide the French Army with a new ground combat weapon
expected to enter service in 2017.

Give me a shotgun with bird shot aimed at a target marked MMP, shoot at it and let me know what kind of pattern you get on the target.
With a "swag" I'd say no sooner then
JAN 2018.
This is why
especially with new equipment it is
very important to multi source the references and then followup on it until it gets to the troops, I.E. Taiwan submitted last year to get the AH-64E. This year in the first Patch input we managed to be right on target with the update provided.
ICO Indias ARJUN MKII we've made I believe since first submitted ~3 years ago at least one maybe two in service date changes and we still might not be done (Don't worry Don it's still looking good as is.) this the nature of the beast and
not a knock on you Paulas or
anyone else. And it also cuts down
significally fixes and deletions later in the OOB's.
