Dive into the 9K33 Osa, known as SA-8 Gecko by NATO, a mobile surface-to-air missile system from the Soviet Union for short-range air defense. Operational since the early 1970s, it's a key asset for Russian and Middle Eastern forces. Dubbed "Romb" for export, the Osa shines with swift deployment and precision against aerial dangers.
