Could anyone help identify this?

I wanted to know whether anyone has seen this before.

it looks like some form of dual use ATGM/SAM, kinda like the Hermes-K of Pantsir. Ideally if anyone has photos or information about this, please let me know, thanks.

Theres lots of mainstream coverage about this but nothing proper.

It's an Iranian jet powered NLOS missile used as a surface to air missile. Quite an innovative and impressive system.

its Iran To whom it may concern missile , just think of it as a SAM that you fire and go et your launch it stay in air and look for target , now if a drone or helicopter or an airplane which is at cruise speed or slow transport plane come in the area it will pick it up and home on it .
it can stay in sky for far longer time than what usually other SAMs can but the downside is that its a lot slower so its not suitable for attacking fighter jet and its more suited for subsonic targets . in short it compensate lack of speed with persistence, and it have a max altitude of 7km, and can patrol the area or chase the target for around 15min and probably have more than 100km of range

Heres what it looked like broken down in component form for ease of transportation,it also gives you an idea of just how big it is when you compare it to the 1.2m long kornet [delahvie] atgm canisters captured with it.Its probably between 2.5-3.0m in length which is rather on the large side for an nlos type weapon,especially since this doesnt include any additional length for a typical rear mounted booster.

The optronic seeker head and warhead are both very likely from the sadid series of drone launched glide bombs and the jet engine is a small commercially available type.
This is actually a beautiful example of how one can potentially build a cheap precision guided weapon using a mixture of cheap foreign and locally produced COTS.
Another good example of this is the Quds-1 cruise missile.

Do any of you have any test firing footage or any footage of them being used by anyone? Thank you for the help so far.

I read in an American forum that this loitering missile was indeed responsible for the downing of the CIA plane in Afghanistan...
