When they demonstrated Shafagh for the first time, the whole idea behind testing new A2G missiles on Iranian Cobras was announced to be increasing the firing range of them to more than 10 km, beyond short range anti aircraft systems. So, now the question is how Kornet can help in this regard?
 
it still is as twice as big. don't you think?
Is not far off.
When I first saw it and had assumed it to be about hellfire size I`d wondered why they`d gone for the extended baby bottle style nose for the seeker,then when I saw how big it actually was it all made sense.Its probably closer to the size of a maverick a2gm.

To me looks more like 50% longer and 60 to 70 percent wider .
But honestly I doubt its something in class of AGM-65 that missile is a beast with 134kg warhead with a range of more than 22km.

Heres a pic that gives a fairly good relative size comparison.Based on this the heydar is probably closer to maverick size than hellfire size,certainly in terms of length anyway.
The 134kg warhead version of the maverick is the blast/frag version not the anti armor version,its warhead is only[!] 57kg

Compare that to 9kg of helfire warhead .
