The core innovation of the Verba system lies in its 9M336 missile, which features a groundbreaking multispectral optical seeker. Unlike older generations that relied on one or two channels, the Verba utilizes a three-channel seeker operating in the ultraviolet, near-infrared, and mid-infrared spectrums. This technological trifecta allows the missile to cross-reference data from different wavelengths to accurately identify a target's true heat signature. This capability is crucial in modern warfare, where aircraft frequently deploy magnesium flares and other thermal decoys to confuse incoming projectiles. The Verba’s ability to "see" through these countermeasures significantly increases its probability of a successful kill.
