The latest Russian MANPADS "Verba" were found in possession of members of the Hezbollah organization.

The Verba MANPADS, developed several years ago, is a highly efficient portable system capable of efficiently operating against enemy drones, aircraft and helicopters. Nevertheless, despite the fact that these complexes were exported only to Armenia, it turned out that the Lebanese organization Hezbollah is armed with several dozen units of these weapons, of which Israel immediately suspected Russia.

“According to the information provided, the Russian Verba MANPADS appeared in service with the Lebanese Hezbollah back in 2016, that is, just two years after the adoption of these systems in service with Russia. In a video taken on November 13, 2016 during the Hezbollah military parade during the Battle of Kotsir, the camera, among other things, captured an anti-aircraft missile launched from the shoulder, presumably a Verba model - Verba (SA-29) of Russian production, which is considered a modern weapon system that entered service in the Russian army only 6 years ago ", - about it сообщает edition "NZIV".

Judging by the frame from the video, we can really talk about the Verba complex, although due to the quality of the shooting, it is still very problematic to visually distinguish modern MANPADS from Soviet-era complexes. At the same time, earlier Hezbollah announced that Pantsir-S complexes appeared in the organization's arsenal, which could be transferred to Lebanon from neighboring Syria, however, both Russia itself and Iran could be behind this, or else Syria
