Mystery Shoulder-Fired Surface-To-Air Missile Appears In Russian Service
An unidentified shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile has appeared in Russian service, with visual analysis suggesting that it may be of Chinese or Iranian origin or derived from designs from either country. The weapon does not closely match known Russian MANPADS families, and features of the launcher have prompted comparisons with Chinese QW-series systems and Iranian Misagh variants. Its exact model, origin and route into Russian service remain unconfirmed.
