Qased (also Ghased; Persian: قاصد || Messenger ) is a 2000-pound (900 kg) Iranian developed smart bomb.
Qased is a guided precision weapon, but it is not clear whether it is laser-guided or TV-guided. TV footage of its test-fire suggests it is TV-guided. It is thought to be for use with Iran's F-4 Phantom II fighter jets.[1] Qassed-3 is a later development with a range of 100 kilometers. The missile, which has previously been showcased during military parades, can be deployed on fighter jets. It is equipped with a micro jet engine that enables it to be fired at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour toward targets, and is guided using a seeker head.
