The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that its ground force has successfully test-fired a domestically-build missile with high precision which enjoys advanced technologies to strike targets from above and defeat the active protection system (APS) of tanks.

The missile, dubbed “Sadid-365”, is a guided anti-armor missile with a range of 8 kilometers and is capable of demolishing various types of armored equipment.

He added that armored personnel carriers in the Iranian armed forces will be equipped with four of missiles each.

Meanwhile, Iranian Army Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Kioumars Heidari said that a homemade precision-guided missile has been handed over to the Airborne Division of the Iranian Army’s Ground Force.
