History
Fielded with the Russian VDV in 2014, the 9K333 Verba is the direct evolution of Igla-S and introduces a tri-band seeker (ultraviolet, near-IR, mid-IR) that makes it the most resistant MANPADS in service against modern flares and DIRCM systems.
Often deployed in batteries with the Barnaul-T automated targeting system, it has been observed in Ukraine since 2022 and several intact units have been captured.
