The bomb weighs 34 kg and is 1.63 meters long, with a diameter of 152 mm.[1]It has four fixed fins on the body for lift and stability and four deflectable fins on the tail for trajectory control.[2]The bomb has a range of 6 km[citation needed]and is made of composite material.[2]
The Sadid-345 warhead is filled withcomposition H6explosive and is prefragmented, with a specified lethal radius of 30 m.[1]It is detonated by an impact fuse.[1]
There is the possibility that Sadid-345 glide bombs could be developed with tandem-warheads, but as of the present there is no evidence of this.[3]
The Sadid-345 can be equipped with aninfrared seeker,with CEP of 2.5 meters, a laser seeker with a CEP of 2.5 m, or a visual light seeker with a CEP of 5 m (though the CEP may be larger if there is difficulty with the image processing).[1]

Development
[edit]The Sadid-345 was developed after the intended armament for Iran'sShahed 129UAV, theSadid-1ATGM, could not be successfully integrated for unclear reasons.
It is believed the Sadid-345 was developed from the Toophan through removal of the engine, propulsion system, and wire guidance components.[3]

[edit]TheIRGCis the only purchaser of the Sadid-345, as of 2018.[3]"Tens" of Sadid-345 bombs have been dropped on theIslamic Statein Syria by Shahed 129s.[4][better source needed]
It can also be integrated onHESA Shahed 285attack helicopters.[3]
