Saegheh (rocket)

The Saegheh is an Iranian guided anti-tank missile. It is believed to be a reverse-engineered copy of the American BGM-71 TOW missile. The Saegheh is typically launched from ground-based platforms or helicopters. Details regarding its range, warhead, and guidance system vary depending on the source, but generally, it is described as a wire-guided missile with a range comparable to the TOW. It is produced by Iran's Defense Industries Organization (DIO). The Saegheh, along with other domestically produced anti-tank missiles, forms a key part of Iran's defense strategy. There are different variants of the missile, potentially including improved versions with increased range or enhanced warheads. Its use has been documented in various conflicts in the region.
