The Saegheh ("Lightning" in Persian) or "Saeqeh-1" and "Saeqeh-2" is a short-range surface-to-surface missile developed by Iran, with a range of 65 to 1000 m. It has been described as an "anti-armor missile". Saeghe-1 weights 6.1 kg and can penetrate armor up to 500 mm. The 7.4 kg Saeghe-2 missile, with a tandem warhead, can penetrate up to 760 mm of armor. These two missiles look like the US M47 Dragon anti-armor missile.
