Sadid-365: Optically guided missile with surface attack capability

The Sadid-365 missile is a high-precision optically guided weapon, Kouhestani told Tasnim in an interview. The missile is capable of penetrating active defense systems and destroying them with its new attack method from above..

This ballistic trajectory, different from conventional ones, has proven to be highly efficient. By attacking from above, the missile takes advantage of the vulnerability of the top armor of tanks, making them easier to destroy.

The Sadid-365 missile climbs rapidly after launch and reaches a certain altitude before landing on the target.
