Recently, Russia and India agreed to supply Igla-S portable surface-to-air missiles. Sputnik India shares an infographic detailing the features of the Igla-S MANPADS.
The Igla-S man-portable anti-aircraft missile system (MANPADS) is designed to destroy all types of aircraft and helicopters and can be fired by an individual or a crew.

In addition, under conditions of artificial and background thermal interference, small air targets such as cruise missiles can be destroyed at any time of day, while they are clearly visible on a frontal and trailing course.
The man-portable defence system is capable of shooting down low-flying aircraft. The Igla-S also consists of the 9M342 missile, the 9P522 launcher, the 9V866-2 mobile test station and the 9F719-2 test set.
