Sayyad 4B (Persian: موشک صیاد-۴ (بی)) is a 300-kilometer-range missile that is compatible with Iran's indigenous Bavar-373 air defense system. Sayyad 4B is the latest in the Sayyad series of solid-fuel missiles.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
In a test conducted in October 2022, Sayyad-4 hit a target at 3000NaN0, an increase of 1000NaN0 from the missile's earlier iterations.[1] The maximum altitude of the missile has reportedly increased from 27 to 32 km.
Although it is being marketed as an export item under the name AD-200, the Iranian military has not yet announced that the system has entered service. The Sayyad-4 missile uses active or semi-active radar homing in the terminal phase.[6] Talaash air defense system is designed to fire the Sayyad-2 and Sayyad-3, but Sayyad-4 is based on Bavar-373 air defense system.[7]
