MOSCOW, June 4. /TASS/. Research and production Corporation "engineering Design Bureau" (MSC, is the NGO "Precision complexes") in the International military-technical forum "Army-2015" will portable anti-aircraft missile complex of new generation "willow". This was announced on 4 June, the representative of MSC.

The crews of airplanes and helicopters began to arrive in Kubinka on the forum "Army-2015"
He noted that for the set of technical characteristics "willow" is superior to the global counterparts. "The use of new MANPADS in the Armed forces of the Russian Federation allows you to provide cover for military forces from attack by aircraft using modern anti-air defense systems, mass strikes cruise missiles, to create an effective near the line of defense of important objects", - said the representative of MSC.
International military-technical forum "Army-2015" will be held from 16 to 19 June, on the basis of constructed Convention and exhibition centre Military and Patriotic Park of culture and rest of the Armed forces of the Russian Federation "Patriot" in Kubinka (Odintsovsky district, Moscow region).
About the complex
MANPADS "Verba" is equipped with a new-band optical homing head can engage targets flying at speeds up to 500 m/s, at a distance of 6.5 km and a height of up to 4.5 km, warhead Weight of the missile is about 1.5 kg.
In late August it was reported that "Verba" already armed airborne division and a motorized infantry brigade of the Eastern military district.

KBM says Verba MANPADS now being sold internationally
Nikolai Novichkov, Paris and Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
Russian defence company KBM officially unveiled its new-generation 9K333 Verba (Willow) manportable air defence system (MANPADS) during the Army-2015 international forum and declared for the first time that it has been cleared for export sales.

"The export of Verbas is permitted and we have been asked to supply the MANPADS [to a foreign customer],"KBM designer general Valeriy Kashin said during the event. However, he did not identify the customer.

The system is already in serial production for the Russian Armed Forces, with several ground forces and airborne brigades receiving Verbas since 2014, Kashin said.

The system's 9M336 missiles is the only one of its kind with a three-channel optical seeker, which operates in the ultraviolet, near-infrared, and mid-infrared wavelengths. Kashin said this "makes the MANPADS a more accurate and sensitive weapon. The enhanced sensitivity increases the range of practical target acquisition".

Comparing it to other MANPADS, Kashin said it is the most capable ever developed. "Verba has a fire range of 6 km and the range of target acquisition is increased by two-and-a-half times. [It's] jamming resistance against flares is increased by 10 times," he said.

He described the system as "fully digital" and said that, while it can be used autonomously, it becomes significantly more effective if integrated with a fire control system. It also has an identification friend or foe (IFF) system integrated as standard.

The designer general pointed out that KBM was developing air and naval variants of the system. "We have made some hardware to integrate it into air and naval platforms; of course, we are going to do that", he said.

Can anyone tell me what that cage thing is on top of the launcher? I'm guessing its similar to what's commonly seen on the stinger launcher.

That said, the U.S. has had such systems since the 1960s but the Russians don’t make any comparisons.
