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 air defense missile was designed to engage a range of targets at low altitudes.[5][6][7]
The Shahab-e-Saqeb uses radio-guidance in the line of sight. It is about 2.9 meters in length, it weighs 84 kilograms and its speed is approximately 740 meters per second. This missile has a range of 10 kilometers against targets travelling at a speed of 300 meters per second and 11 kilometers against helicopters.[8][9][10][11]
