Is not SOSNA. It is too heavy as SOSNA is only 26kg… though it is 36kg in its launch cannister… The control surfaces are wrong anyway… SOSNA has control surfaces right on its nose and larger stabiliser fins at the rear of the missile body.
FOr those who can read all of the Janes article the specs for SOSNA are range: 8kms, max velocity 1,200m/s warhead weight 5kgs, diameter 153mms and it is laser beam riding. It uses a large booster and is a two stage weapon.
