[2] It is described by multiple sources as similar in design to the Israeli Spike-ER missile,[3] and was intended as the armament for Iran's Shahed 129 UAV.
[3] As of 2016, the Sadid-1's guidance system, laser/TV seeker and propulsion unit were still under development.
[4] Detailed information about the Sadid-1 has not been disclosed; however, it is believed to be about 140 cm long, to have a range of 4000 meters, and to have a maximum flight time of about thirty seconds.
[5] The Sadid-1 was not operationally deployed on the Shahed 129; one source says this was due to problems with the launcher mechanism and guidance system,[6] while another source says that R&D was not completed because American sanctions prevented Iran from obtaining necessary components.
[7] In 2018, Iran claimed to use Sadid-1 munitions dropped from a Saegheh UAV.
