Once you create a system like this development and upgrades never stop,theres always some improvement to be made when new technology becomes available or new enemy weapons are developed that have to be matched.A good example of this would be the soviets/russians upgrading of their various sam systems,hell even the old sa1/s25 berkut which was arguably the first sam system ever deployed was still being upgraded right up until the beginning of the 80s by which time it was a quarter of a century old.Listen to what he is saying at 20:55 regarding the Bavar-373 version in 2 years time:
Seems next gen Bavar is already in the work? @yavar
A more up to date example would be the upgrades to the s300 where virtually no part of it was left untouched.

It will be very interesting to see just how the b373 develops in the future.
Whats rather bizarre in light of this is that the old rumor of iran wanting to purchase the s400,supposedly as well as other russian sams ie buk[LOL!],still seems to be alive and well and doing the rounds.Yes, he seems very confident it will be more advanced than S-400! They must be working on something special

Your analysis was not far from reality! Great work!
Now we know what those small artillery rockets/stretched manpads were for,these were the boosters for the missile.What we thought was a rear mounted laser seeker was actually a small commercial turbojet.
This is basically a small cruise missile not a sam,probably with a range of many tens of kilometers.I wonder if it has a fiber optic link like a lot of these non line of sight type missiles have.Another advantage of these is their potential to loiter looking for targets of opportunity such as sam systems,armored vehicles,helicopters etc..
Whats surprising is how long it is,it could be getting close to 3m,which is probably why the designers went for a separate under mounted booster rather than a tail mounted booster,its also odd that we havent seen a more compact purely rocket powered version with a range of 10-20kms.
