The M79 Osa is operated by a two-man team, an operator and a loader.
The loader inserts the rocket container through the rear of the launcher.
The operator then takes aim at the target through the CN-6 sight.
The CN-6 sight has 3.5x magnification and a 10 degree field of view.
It also features anti-laser filters to protect the operator from blinding battlefield lasers.
When the trigger is pressed, the rocket motor is fired electronically.
The rocket leaves the launcher at a speed of approximately 250 meters per second.
It is accurate enough to be used against armoured vehicles at a range of 350 meters, and can engage larger stationary targets up to 600 meters away.

On impact a piezoelectric impact fuse in the rocket triggers the shaped charge warhead, which can penetrate up to 400 millimeters of armour.
The fuse is sensitive enough to trigger the warhead at impact angles up to 70 degrees from the vertical.
After firing, the spent rocket container is removed from the launcher, and a fresh tube is attached.
