In addition to the United States, Iran has also converted the Sidewinder into a ground-attack missile.
The IRGC signed a contract with Tose'e Fannavaran Havapayeh in March 2016 to develop a replacement for Toophan (an Iranian copy of the Towed Missile, just to make it easier for everyone to understand the source of the information. missiles) new anti-armor missiles. So the company began working on converting Iran's copy of the AIM-9J Sidewinder missile (Fater) into an air-to-surface missile called Azarakhsh, equipped with a television and infrared seeker.
The Azarakh missile was unveiled on February 28, 2018, but the program was soon abandoned by IRGCAA to fund the company's development of the new Qaem-114 anti-armor missile. The Qaem-114 resembles the AGM-114 Hellfire missile, and each AH-1J can carry up to eight, while the Azarakh missile can only carry two at a time. In addition to the AH-1J, Iran's Bell 214A Isfahan utility helicopter equipped with an opto/infrared calibration system capable of carrying the Qaem-114 was unveiled on July 7, 2021.
