The Anza (عنزہ Anza) is a series of shoulder-fired, man-portable surface-to-air missiles produced by Pakistan. Guided by an infrared homing seeker, the Anza is used for short range air defence.[7][8]
The Anza is produced by Kahuta Research Laboratories (KRL), being one of the facility's main conventional weapons projects.[9] Development was originally undertaken to eliminate dependence on importing expensive foreign systems.[10] Various versions of the Anza are currently in service with the Pakistan Army,[11] with the Mk-III version being the most recent.[12]
GIDS currently manufactures the Anza.[13]
