We investigate the production of gamma-rays in the inner regions of SS 433 and in its interaction between its jets and the W50 nebula. We estimate the VHE emission that can be generated within the jets at distances above 1e+13 cm from the compact object. We also apply a theoretical model of the jet/medium interaction to SS 433/W50. We compare the predicted fluxes to observations of SS 433 at TeV energies, and derive new constraints of the physical properties of this system.
