The high versatility of the system allows launching SAMs using:

  • trigger mechanism;
  • "Dzhigit" support launcher;
  • a set of equipment and launch modules “Strelets” (allowing the launch of missiles from various mobile carriers);
  • "Komar" turret installation;
  • "Gibka-S" combat vehicle for the MANPADS squad.
The "Igla-S" man-portable air defence missile system is designed to destroy all types of aircraft and helicopters, as well as small air targets such as cruise missiles at any time of the day when they are visually visible on head-on and catch-up courses in conditions of background and artificial thermal interference.
