Iran’s Sayyad-1 (Hunter I)

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.

Missile support
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 6×6 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.

Missile
The Sayad-1 is a two stage guided missile, with a large solid propellant booster stage fitted with four very large delta fins.The warhead of the Sayyad-1 weighs 195 kg and is a HE internally grooved fragmentation type with proximity, contact and command-type fuzing available.

Combat use
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).
