The
Sayyad-1 (Hunter I) is a static surface-to-air missile system which
is a development of the Russian S-75 (NATO SA-2 Guideline) system. The
Sayad is also heavily influenced by the Chinese HQ-2 and may benefit
from North Korean technology input. Iran has acquired surface-to-air
missiles modified with chemical weapons. Western intelligence sources
said Iran has acquired modified SA-2 air defense systems from North
Korea. They said Pyongyang has converted the SA-2 from a surface-to-air
to a surface-to-surface missile. On 14 April 1999 the Iranian armed
forces carried out a successful test of a surface-to-air missile. A
spokesman of the Iranian Iranian Ministry of Defense reported "the
missile was able to hit its target at an appropriate altitude."
This missile was designated Sayyad-1, named for assassinated commander
Lt-Gen. Ali Sayyad-Shirazi. Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics
spokesman Keyvan Khosrawi said that the missile was produced completely
by the Airspace Industries Organization, affiliated to the Ministry
of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics. Iranian defense ministry officials
acknowledged that the Sayyad-1 missile was an SA-2 of Chinese design,
but was at least partially manufactured in Iran. |

In static
position, the Saya-1 is mounted to a launcher station. The
basic design qualifies as semi-mobile, requiring several hours
to set up or redeploy a battery. Each missile is carried by
a semi-trailer towed by a 6x6 truck, and needs to be loaded
onto a fixed launcher before firing. The loading usually takes
about 5 minutes but this really depends on the training and
experience of missile operators.

The
Sayad-1 missile, considering it's medium range can be apllied
for targets, rather in low or high altitude. also it has capability
for protecting the economic, political and social centers. The
main mission of the Sayad-1 missile, can be defined for destruction
of targets as bombers and reconnaissance aicraft, considering
their wide radar cross - section (RCS). |
