Though technically not part of the "Python" family, the missile is an enlarged version of the Python-4 with an active-radar seeker. [18] Length: 362 cm (143 in) Span: 64 cm (25 in) Diameter: 16 cm (6.3 in) Weight: 118 kg (260 lb) Guidance: Active Radar; Warhead: 23 kg (51 lb) Range: 50 km (31 mi) Speed: Mach 4
The system is fitted atop a Tatra truck, a Mercedes-Benz Actros truck, a MAN TGS truck, Scania P-series truck, Dongfeng truck, or a TELAR. It implements the Python-5 and Derby missiles of the same company. The SPYDER launcher is designed to fire Python-5 and Derby surface-to-air missiles which share full commonality with the air-to-air missiles.

The performance of Israeli Python-3 anti-air missile in the Lebanon conflict was observed by the Chinese military, People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) was reportedly impressed with this missile, and paid for licensed production as the PL-8 AAM in the 1980s, with the plan of producing the Python-3 with 100% local components approved by the PLAAF in 1982.

Images of the system appear to show a twin-launcher mounted on the back of a Supacat 6x6 vehicle, allowing it to remain mobile, whilst guidance can be provided by a Hawkeye electro-optical suite. The missile has a "fire and forget" capacity. Reportedly, the system has achieved a 90% success rate during operations.
