Very nice
It kinda resembles the SA7 Strela, doesn't it?

Nice.
Maybe this can be slightly modified and made into an Igla to be used by the factions that use the Strela as that is very outdated?

Wiki says it was developed using the plans for the SA-18 Igla.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grom_(missile) wrote:Because of that, in late 1992 various Polish works and design bureaus (among them the Zielonka-based Military Institute of Armament Technology, the WAT Military University of Technology and the Skarżysko Rocket Design Bureau) started working on a new Igla-like design. These were allegedly helped by the Polish intelligence services able to buy the design plans of the original 9K38 Igla missile system in the LOMO works in Leningrad (modern St. Petersburg) during the turmoil following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

I wasn't saying that what Wiki said is true, I was saying that's what it said, period. Here's another site that says the same. It's said to be "unconfirmed speculation" but well, it's almost identical to the Igla, so it's not hard to believe at all.
Grom (Poland) - Jane's Land-Based Air Defence
There is much unconfirmed speculation that the Polish intelligence service managed to purchase the Igla design plans and thus the design and development of the Grom was kept very short.
And here's wiki's source on it:
