The Misagh-3 (Persian: موشک دوشپرتاب میثاق-۳) is an Iranian infrared homing short range air defense system manufactured by MODAFL of Iran and unveiled in 2017.[1][2]
Misagh-3 is an upgraded version of Misagh-1 and Misagh-2 that were based on the Chinese QW-18.[3][4]
Design
[edit]The Misagh-3 has a range of five kilometers and a maximum flight height of 4000 meters with a maximum flight speed of 850 m/s (2.88 Mach) and a 1.4 kilograms of high-explosion warhead.[5]
To deal with the thermal disruptor (flare) in helicopters and fighter jets, it’s equipped with a 360 degrees laser fuse system.[6]
After the MANPAD is fired, a laser radiation source inside the missile spreads the light around 360 degrees; As soon as it approaches the target and reflects the light of the laser light that hits the considered target, the warhead of the missile is activated. [7][8]
