Сorsar is a light multi-purpose tactical missile. Launch tube is mounted above the fire control system to conceal its operator who could aim it while either crouched or lying prone behind cover.

The combat range of the Сorsar is between 100m and 2550m. The missile can be fired from portable firing posts, vehicles and army special platforms.

The laser and optical sights are adjusted between themselves. The missile control information field is made up by the guidance device.
