The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) made an achievement on Saturday, firing an anti-tank guided missile during a successful test-firing, Iranian media reported Saturday.

The anti-tank missile, Sadid-365, has a whopping range of 8 km, and it is capable of destroying all kinds of armored equipment, said General Ali Kouhestani, the chair of the Research and Self-Sufficiency Jihad Organization of the IRGC Ground Force.

The missile, optically guided, is highly accurate, with a top attack system that enables it to strike its targets from above, Kouhestani explained.

Iran unveiled a ground launched ATGM dubbed Sadid-365. It has top attack capabilities & a range of 8km

The missile can pass through the barrier of active defense systems of tanks before swiftly destroying them, the Iranian official underlined.

The latest advancement made by Tehran comes after the IRGC on Sunday announced that it developed a new kamikaze drone capable of detonating targets within a range of 450 kilometers.

The new unmanned aerial vehicle, dubbed Me'raj-532, has been tested successfully, Kouhestani told Tasnim news agency.

Reportedly, the Iranian UAV has a piston engine and can travel as far as 450 kilometers in a one-way mission.

As for the launching mechanism, the drone can take off from a vehicle, and it can go as high as 12,000 feet with a flight time of three hours, the general explained, highlighting that the explosive-laden drone is highly accurate, with a payload of 50 kg.

According to Kouhestani, the drone is very easy to assemble and gear up for flight, making it a suitable option for rapid-response missions.

The UK's Defense Intelligence Agency claimed in February that Iran was emerging as a global leader in the production of cheap and lethal drones.

During a briefing in London, analysts from the Defense Intelligence Agency claimed that Iran had turned from being a regional drone player in the Middle East to Russia's most significant military backer in the war.

In late December 2022, the Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Major General Ali Bagheri, underlined that Iran stands among the world's five leading countries in terms of drone capabilities.
