History

The Tosan was licensed by Iran in 1991 from Russia.[5] Its production reportedly started in January 2000 with the inauguration of its production line.[6][7] The Tosan was first deployed in war games by the IRGC in Kerman in 2013.[8]

The Tosan is armed with two warheads at a distance of 75 meters after firing from a missile launcher and can destroy any target at long distances.[9]

The missile weighs 26.5 kg, with 3.2 kg from the warhead.[10] Its range is between 70 and 4000 meters; its maximum speed is 200 meters per second, its probability of hitting the target is 95% and its penetration rate in the armor depth is up to 670 mm.[10]

The missile range decreases to 2,500 meters at night.[10]

In 2018, it was reported that the Tosan can have the "RU244TK" and "RU150TK" thermal imaging cameras attached.[11]
