Shahab-e-Saqeb (missile), (Persian: موشک شهاب ثاقب) is an Iranian-made low altitude defense missile which was designed by Defense industry of Iran. This defensive missile has been built in order to annihilate diverse targets at low altitudes.[5][6][7]
The Shahab-e-Saqeb utilizes radio-guidance in the line of sight. Its length is about 2.9 meters, its weight 84 kilograms, and its speed is approximately 740 meters per second. This indigenous Iranian missile's range is from 500 to 8,500 meters against targets with a speed of 400 meters per second. This missile has also a range of 10 kilometers against the targets at a speed of 300 meters per second and 11 kilometers against helicopters.[8][9][10][11]
"Shahab-Saqib"[12][13][14] capability of launching is through low altitude air defense system (via "Ya-Zahra and Herz-9" missile system). On the other hand, Karrar jet unmanned-aerial-vehicles are recently equipped with this kind of missile in order to hit air targets.[15][16][17]
