Description

The Verba is a man-portable, shoulder-launched surface-to-air missile system featuring an automated fire control system to engage any airborne target in 18-30 seconds. The Verba Man-Portable Air Defense System (MANPADS) has been designed to provide information on the air environment, fix the target and command a strike against the target in several seconds excluding the human factor and automatic communication between the command post and Verba missile operator. The missile utilizes a solid-propellant rocket allowing to hit targets at a maximum range of 6,000 meters and flying at an altitude of up to 4,500 meters and an speed of up to 500 meters per second (1,800 kilometers per hour). The state-of-the-art seeker combines an ultraviolet (UV), middle and near infrared seekers allowing to shoot down targets flying as low as 10 meters. The Verba missile system is sophisticated enough not only to engage fixed-wing airplanes and helicopters but also unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and cruise missiles. The Russian Airborne Forces took delivery of the first Verba missile systems in May 2014.
