Misagh-2
Air Defence Systemconfirmed
The Misagh-2 (Also known as Mithaq-2, means Covenant in English) is an Iranian man-portable infrared-guided surface-to-air missile. The Misagh-2 is the successor to the Misagh-1. Like its predecessor, the Misagh-2 is based on Chinese technology, and in particular is believed to be an Iranian copy of the Chinese QW-1M MANPADS. It is roughly comparable to the Soviet SA-18 Grouse (9k38 Igla) missiles.
