The '''9K38 Igla''' ({{lang-ru|Игла́}}, "needle", [[NATO reporting name]] '''SA-18 Grouse''') is a Russian/[[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[MANPADS|man-portable]] [[infrared homing]] [[surface-to-air missile]] (SAM) system. A simplified, earlier version is known as the '''9K310 Igla-1''' (NATO: '''SA-16 Gimlet'''), and the latest variant is the '''9K338 Igla-S''' ('''SA-24 Grinch''').

The Igla-1 entered service in 1981, the Igla in 1983, and the Igla-S in 2004.{{cn|date=April 2023}} The Igla has been supplemented by the [[9K333 Verba]] since 2014.<ref name="armyrecognition.com">[http://www.armyrecognition.com/september_2014_global_defense_security_news_uk/new_russian_verba_manpads_will_replace_igla-s_.html New Russian Verba MANPADS will replace Igla-S] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626185908/http://www.armyrecognition.com/september_2014_global_defense_security_news_uk/new_russian_verba_manpads_will_replace_igla-s_.html |date=26 June 2015}} - Armyrecognition.com, 15 September 2014</ref>

==History==
[[File:Игла - Расчеты ПЗРК Северного флота в ходе практических стрельб поразили все воздушные мишени.ogv|thumb|thumbtime=8|Russian soldiers demonstrate use of Igla MANPADS.]]
The development of the Igla short-range man-portable air defense system ([[MANPADS]]) began in the [[Kolomna]] [[OKB]] in 1972. Contrary to what is commonly reported, the Igla is not an improved version of the earlier [[Strela (disambiguation)|Strela]] family ([[SA-7 Grail|Strela-2]] and [[SA-14 Gremlin|Strela-3]]), but an all-new project.{{Citation needed|date=May 2014}} The main goals were to create a missile with better resistance to countermeasures and wider engagement envelope than the earlier Strela series MANPADS systems.

Technical difficulties in the development quickly made it obvious that the development would take far longer than anticipated, however, and in 1978 the program split in two: while the development of the full-capability Igla would continue, a simplified version (Igla-1) with a simpler IR seeker based on that of the earlier Strela-3 would be developed to enter service earlier than the full-capability version could be finished.

===Igla-1===
[[File:SA-16 and SA-18 missiles and launchers.jpg|thumb|right|9K38 Igla (SA-18) missile and launcher top and 9K310 Igla-1 (SA-16) missile and launcher below.]]
The 9K310 Igla-1 system and its 9M313&nbsp;missile were accepted into service in the Soviet Army on 11 March 1981. The main differences from the Strela-3 included an optional [[Identification Friend or Foe]] system to prevent firing on friendly aircraft, an automatic lead and super elevation to simplify shooting and reduce minimum firing range, a slightly larger rocket, reduced drag and better guidance system extend maximum range and improve performance against fast and maneuverable targets, an improved lethality on target achieved by a combination of delayed impact [[Fuse (explosives)|fuzing]], terminal maneuver to hit the fuselage rather than jet nozzle, an additional charge to set off the remaining rocket fuel (if any) on impact, an improved resistance to [[infrared countermeasures]] (both decoy flares and [[ALQ-144]] series jamming emitters), and slightly improved seeker sensitivity.

The seeker has two detectors – a cooled [[MWIR]] [[Indium antimonide|InSb]] detector for detection of the target and uncooled [[lead(II) sulfide|PbS]] SWIR detector for detection of IR decoys (flares). The built-in logic determines whether the detected object is a target or a decoy. The latest version (Igla-S) is reported to have additional detectors around the main seeker to provide further resistance against pulsed [[IRCM]] devices commonly used on helicopters.

The 9M313 missile features a [[drag-reducing aerospike]] mounted on a tripod (Igla's 9M39 missile has an aerospike attached directly to the seeker dome, resembling a needle, which is perhaps not coincidentally the translation of its codename, {{lang-ru|игла}}), which reduces a [[shock wave]], thus providing less dome heating and greater range. The name Igla is derived from these devices.

Like many other MANPADS, Igla-1 and Igla feature so-called rolling airframe missiles. These missiles roll in flight (900–1,200 rpm) so steering the missile requires just a single pair of control surfaces, unlike roll-stabilized missiles, which require separate control surfaces for pitch and yaw. Both 9M313 and 9M39 missiles contain a [[gas generator]], which drives a small [[gas turbine]] to provide electrical power, and the pistons, which move the [[canard (aeronautics)|canards]] used to steer the missile in a [[bang-bang control|bang-bang]] mode. In addition to that, two exhaust tubes of the gas generator are placed perpendicular to the steering canards to provide maneuverability immediately after launch when the missile airspeed is too low for canards to be effective. Later versions of Igla are reported to use [[proportional control]] to drive the canards, which enables greater precision and less oscillation of the flight path.

According to the manufacturer, South African tests have shown the Igla's superiority over the contemporary (1982 service entry) but smaller and lighter American FIM-92A [[FIM-92 Stinger|Stinger]] missile. According to Kolomna OKB, the Igla-1 has a P<sub>k</sub> ([[probability of kill]]) of 0.30 to 0.48 against unprotected targets which is reduced to 0.24 in the presence of decoy flares and jamming.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nnre.ru/tehnicheskie_nauki/oruzhie_sovremennoi_pehoty_illyustrirovannyi_spravochnik_chast_ii/p96.php|title="Игла-1" и "Игла" / Оружие современной пехоты.

===Igla===

The full-capability 9K38 Igla with its 9M39&nbsp;missile was finally accepted into service in the Soviet Army in 1983. The main improvements over the Igla-1 included much improved resistance against flares and jamming, a more sensitive seeker, expanding forward-hemisphere engagement capability to include straight-approaching fighters ([[all-aspect]] capability) under favourable circumstances, a slightly longer range, a higher-impulse, shorter-burning rocket with higher peak velocity (but approximately same time of flight to maximum range).

The naval variant of 9K38 Igla has the NATO reporting name SA-N-10 Grouse.

The Igla–1M missile consists of a Ground Power Supply Source (GPSS), Launching Tube, Launching Mechanism & Missile (9M313–1).

There is also a two-barrel 9K38 missile launcher called Dzhigit.<ref>[https://archive.today/20130219180042/http://warfare.be/db/catid/264/linkid/1770/ DJIGIT (SA-18)]. warfare.be</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=ЦАМТО / / ВМС Таиланда получат 5 комплексов ОПУ "Джигит" производства АО "НПК «КБМ" |url=https://armstrade.org/includes/periodics/news/2021/0127/101561429/detail.shtml |website=armstrade.org |access-date=4 October 2021}}</ref>

===Replacement===
Since 2014 the Igla is being replaced in Russian service by the new [[9K333 Verba]] (Willow) MANPADS.<ref name="armyrecognition.com" /> The Verba's primary feature is its multispectral optical seeker, using three sensors as opposed to the Igla-S' two. Cross-checking sensors against one another better discriminates between relevant targets and decoys, and decreases the chance of disruption from countermeasures, including lasers that attempt to blind missiles.<ref>[http://armyrecognition.com/june_2015_global_defense_security_news_uk/new-generation_man-portable_air_defence_system_verba_revealed_to_public_at_army_2015_exhibition_31906154.html New-generation man-portable air defence system Verba revealed to public at Army 2015 exhibition] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626190001/http://armyrecognition.com/june_2015_global_defense_security_news_uk/new-generation_man-portable_air_defence_system_verba_revealed_to_public_at_army_2015_exhibition_31906154.html |date=26 June 2015}} – Armyrecognition.com, 19 June 2015</ref>

{{Main|Siachen conflict}}
From 28 July 1992 to 2 August 1992 the [[Indian Army]] mounted Operation Trishul Shakti to protect the Bahadur post in Chulung when it was attacked by a large Pakistani assault team. On 1 August 1992, Pakistani helicopters were attacked by an Indian Igla missile and Brig. Masood Navid Anwari (PA 10117) then Force Commander [[Northern Areas]] and other accompanying troops were killed. This led to a loss of momentum on the Pakistani side and the assault stalled.<ref>{{cite book|author=Harish Kapadia|author-link=Harish Kapadia |title=Siachen Glacier: The Battle of Roses |publisher=Rupa Publications Pvt.

====Desert Storm (1991)====
{{Main|List of combat losses of United States military aircraft since the Vietnam War#1991 (Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm)|l1=US aircraft losses in Desert Storm}}
The first combat use of the Igla-1E was during the [[Gulf War]] Operation GRANBY. On 17 January 1991, a [[Panavia Tornado]] bomber of the Royal Air Force was shot down by an Iraqi MANPADS that may have been an Igla-1E (or Strela-3) after an unsuccessful bombing mission.  The crew, [[Flight lieutenant|Flt Lts]] [[John Peters (RAF officer)|J G Peters]] and [[John Nichol (RAF officer)|A J Nichol]], were both captured and held as [[prisoners of war]] (POWs) until the cessation of hostilities.<ref>Lawrence, Richard R..

Retrieved: 11 May 2011.</ref>

It is uncertain if an [[Lockheed AC-130|AC-130H]] lost was hit by a 'Strela' missile or a more recent Igla since Iraq had SA-7, SA-14 and SA-16 missiles at the time, according to the SIPRI database.

On 12 August 2003, as a result of a [[sting operation]] arranged as a result of cooperation between the American, British and Russian intelligence agencies, [[Hemant Lakhani]], a British national, was intercepted attempting to bring what he had thought was an older-generation Igla into the United States. He is said to have intended the missile to be used in an attack on [[Air Force One]], the American presidential plane, or on a commercial US airliner, and is understood to have planned to buy 50 more of these weapons.

After the [[Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti]] (FSB) detected the dealer in Russia, he was approached by US undercover agents posing as terrorists wanting to shoot down a commercial plane. He was then provided with an inert Igla by undercover Russian agents, and arrested in [[Newark, New Jersey]], when making the delivery to the undercover US agent. An Indian citizen residing in [[Malaysia]], [[Moinuddeen Ahmed Hameed]] and an American [[Yehuda Abraham]] who allegedly provided money to buy the missile were also arrested.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0308/13/se.07.html|title=Three Men Charged with Smuggling Missiles|access-date=14 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129021759/http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0308/13/se.07.html|archive-date=29 November 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> Yehuda Abraham is president and CEO of [[Ambuy Gem Corp]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.manta.com/coms2/dnbcompany_q6phd|title=Ambuy Gem Corp|website=Manta|access-date=14 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029203020/http://www.manta.com/coms2/dnbcompany_q6phd|archive-date=29 October 2013|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2003/august/ucmissile_081303|title=FBI's press release|website=FBI|access-date=14 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129014250/http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2003/august/ucmissile_081303|archive-date=29 November 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> Lakhani was convicted by jury in April 2005, and was sentenced to 47 years in prison.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2005/December/05_opa_641.html|title=Attorney General Alberto R.

===Turkey===
On 13 May 2016, [[Kurdistan Workers' Party|PKK]] militants shot down a Turkish Army [[Bell AH-1W SuperCobra]] attack helicopter using 9K38 Igla (SA-18 Grouse) version of this missile system. The missile severed the tail section from the rest of the helicopter, causing it to fragment in midair and crash, killing the two pilots on board. The Turkish government first claimed that it fell due to technical failure before it became clear that it was shot down. The PKK later released video footage of the rocket being fired and striking the helicopter.<ref>Cunningham, Erin.

Several guerrilla and terrorist organizations are also known to have Iglas. Alleged Operatives of the [[Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam]] a terrorist organization fighting for a homeland for Tamils in the island of Sri Lanka were arrested in August 2006 by undercover agents of the FBI posing as arms dealers, while trying to purchase the Igla. In 2003 the unit cost was approximately US$60,000–80,000.
