Thanks for the comments. Is the green can CO2 ? At first glance, it appeared to be a dual use- grenade launcher (green can- appeared to be a grenade) and (primarily) missile launcher. On the order of an "over and under". I hadn't been aware of such a system- just guessing at a picture without caption and lacking hands on experience. Someone mentioned a Strelas, and also SA7 was mentioned. Same ? Different ? What say ye ?

Yes, the can is CO2. The terminology and names, I am not qualified to comment on. I have been told that the names you quoted are correct.

SA meaning surface to air. Not sure exactly of the model, but someone here knows, I am sure.

Now I am not exactly sure what the can is. According to this, the rocket uses a solid fuel bump before the main motor lights. The can may be a replaceable battery or something.(or could be CO2 for other varieties of ordinance???)
