>One of the Iranian air-defence systems that proved effective was the Majid SAM, listed as AD-08 in Iranian export catalogues.
>In fact, most Iranian videos that show gun-camera footage of a target being tracked from the ground and hit in flight are recordings of AD-08 in action.
>The passive electro-optical sensor can spot aircraft out to about 15 km; the missile itself engages targets between roughly 700 m and 8 km away and from 20 m up to 6 km in altitude. The warhead weighs about 14 kg.
>Unlike many Iranian systems conceived 20–50 years ago, Majid was designed from the outset with no radar at all; it relies entirely on passive detection, so enemy electronic support measures cannot home in on radar emissions.
Nice to see my optical anti-air theory in practice.
