Same weapon, different country of manufacture. Also could be Pakistans
Anza MKI. SA-7's are pretty much SA-7's. Don't know why I went with the Chinese version, maybe I just had China on the brain that day.

Question?

How good is this?

What is it capable of taking down?

Is it easily defeated with counter measures?

If I'm not mistaken this was developed from stingers that China somehow got a hold of and then shared the technology with Iran.

I think that Iranian portable SA is superior than SA-7.
Iran has already got stinger,so we should think that missile is as good as old stingerold.
