Iran shot down a CIA plane with a weapon that no one else in the world has

It’s not even a missile – it’s a strange, at first glance, hybrid of an anti-aircraft missile and a drone

“The height of the missile’s flight is up to 12 km, and the range – up to 100 km. These are, frankly, very obscene characteristics for such a weapon. True, the flight speed is small, but it is enough to destroy helicopters, drones, low – speed planes, armored vehicles, fortifications, etc.”

It’s not even a missile – it’s a strange, at first glance, hybrid of an anti-aircraft missile and a drone. The design of the product is completely non-standard – they made it from what is available to Iran, they made it with imagination and brilliance, and as a result they got a unique, universal weapon, which no one else in the world has, and which our Ukroboronprom will never make, writes the Ukrainian media

The rocket is compact, easily disassembled into several parts that can be carried in a backpack. It starts from a primitive manual using a dust accelerator. In flight, it uses a miniature turbojet engine, the same as those used in model airplanes. There are no missing parts in the rocket, and its management is available to any mujahidin who has mastered the remote control of the TV and mobile phone.

The height of the missile’s flight is up to 12 km, and the range – up to 100 km. These are, frankly, very obscene characteristics for such a weapon. True, the flight speed is small, but it is enough to destroy helicopters, drones, low-speed aircraft, armored vehicles, fortifications, etc.

The missile has a flight duration of 15 minutes, so it can barrage in search of a target. The product carries a high-explosive warhead weighing 10 kg. The fuse is built on the basis of 16 laser target sensors that are sold on aliexpress.

The name “anti-aircraft missile 358″ was given to this weapon by the CIA when in February 2020 in Afghanistan, a CIA aircraft with the flight number 358 was shot down by a missile outside the MANPADS defeat zone (much higher).”
