   I think there is a probability that it was either copied or reverse   
   engineered from another nation's similar weapon without permission. That   
   could explain the secrecy. And that "nation" is not USA or Israel, as   
   Iran doesn't give a fart to use copies of the latter two weapons.   
   They're useless for Iranians anyway. Too expensive, too idiotically   
   designed just to milk their own governments.   
      
   At this point I neither know which country developed the original one,   
   nor what features exactly that one had. It might also be totally Iranian   
   from stage 0 and on. What is known for sure is that if there was an   
   original non-Iranian one, Iran must've done a number of modifications on   
   it because its features were closely studied by Americans and Israelis   
   to see how they could keep their drones safe from it, and nothing helped   
   them :) It still brings down their super expensive drones.   
      
   The picture I gave above itself is of the one that was hit in Iraq's sky   
   and was subsequently given to Americans.   
      
   What it needs to launch is just this:

   Hehe :) As simple as that!   
      
   358 is a jewel of ideas, features, and design. It is a two-stage   
   missile. It doesn't need anything else for launching than what you see   
   above. And all you need is the approximate area of the target and what   
   the target is. You give that data to it right before launch then the   
   rest is done by the missile itself. It _finds_ its target. It can loiter   
   for hours finding it! Then spends as long as it needs to kill it. Once   
   it is released, something of yours out there is doomed. You just don't   
   know it yet. It detonates 20 kg of explosives in that drone's stomach.   
   More than half of the explosives create directional fragmentation in   
   case the hit is not exact, and here is where 16 directional sensors that   
   it has come into play. Immediately after a "miss" is detected, if target   
   is close enough the explosives go off.   
      
   358 is your drones' demon. Delivered to your midst by Iranians who sit   
   and think it out while you Nazis are reading Penis X _advertorials_!   
      
   You can't distract it with something cheaper either. It is programmed   
   not to get distracted. It is quite capable of distinguishing between   
   different "targets" and this is part of the original data given to it   
   right before launch. Plus, if it sees more than one target similar to   
   what it's pursuing, it notifies other 358's loitering in the area _of_   
   them and gives them their approximate locations, and continues its own   
   mission. On the other hand, if no target is found in the designated   
   area, it loiters until it finds another target of opportunity.   
      
   It adjusts its speed for various situations and stages, can travel both   
   supersonic and subsonic. If drag is unusual (strong winds, etc) it   
   adjusts to it by using its micro turbojet propulsion system. So blowing   
   stuff around your aircraft or close to this missile is kind of   
   "ineffective." It maintains course.   
      
   It is truly a fire and forget device.   
      
   Your drones cannot become aware of its existence in time :) It does not   
   emit radar signals. It finds and locates its targets by laser. It has   
   multiple target engagement features too :) Remember I made a math baby   
   problem of it in my other blog. If initial input indicated multiple   
   targets in the area, then when more than one target will be in an area   
   close enough to each other, this missile can compute the spot at which   
   it should go and get detonated to down all or more than one of the   
   targets at once.   
      
   Commodore 64 had 8 independent chips to compute 8 objects' positions and   
   tracks simultaneously. And that was what... more than 40 years ago. And   
   yet today Russia can successfully take advantage of multiple drones in   
   attacking Ukraine, and Israel cannot deal well with multiple missiles   
   coming down on them. So the defensive stuff Americans have placed there   
   in Ukraine and what Israel has for its air defense don't even meet what   
   could be done 40 years back.   
      
   Nobody could answer my baby problem here either. In a _physics_ forum.   
      
   But forget all that. More importantly, I don't know what you Bozos have   
   done to your "Hermes" and MQ-9s since 1915 to keep them safe after you   
   studied the 358 design, but to this day, and as lately as last week in   
   fact, 358 is bringing your drones down. That's more than 9 years since.   
   Iran is getting better than you Nazis. Tell this to your Bitches too.
