Tondar (missile)

Tondar Missile (Persian: تندر) is an Iranian Anti-tank guided missile^[7][8][9] fired from the barrels of T-72 tanks. This Iranian missile^{[10][11][12][13]} which has been manufactured by Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics (Iran), is launched from a 125 mm cannon barrel. Tondar-missile can destroy diverse targets at 4 kilometers distances.^[14]

Iranian experts have applied the capabilities of the Tosan (missile) in the manufacturing process of Tondar-missile, that means: this anti-tank missile can target both fixed/moving targets on land and sea. Meanwhile, this missile has the capability of destroying low-speed flying targets; and that's due to the kind of Tondar guidance.^[15] It is said to be a copy of the AT-11 Sniper Soviet missile.^[16] The warhead of the Tondar missile is lighter than that of the AT-11 Sniper missile which may indicate design changes or poor data reporting.^[16]

According to the commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran's army in the Fars region: "It was the first time that in the exercise of Beit al-Moqaddas 26 in May 2014, three Iranian missiles of Dehlaviyeh, Tondar and Tusan were tested."^{[17][18][19][20]}
