Almas would fit that role as a direct top attack system.

The other ATGMs like Toophan (BGM TOW) have improved rounds that can also top attack with an EFP warhead. I would say most of this area in the world of ATGMs is covered well by Iran, but more things can be learned especially from US made systems since they generally have the highest quality parts installed.

Almass is not as portable as javelin , it can replace Toofan but for javelin it must be made into man portable model, for that it need a lihgter launcher made of new material and a shorter and lighter missile

Almas is still considered man-portable.

If they want they can miniaturize it to reduce weight, but the weapon class is sufficient.

tow also considered man-portable but it really is not
compared with published data for spike the missile is 10kg and the launcher north of 50kg
perhaps a platoon-portable but not a practical man-portable weapon .

as i said its a replacement for tow
compare that to 23kg of Javelin or 12.5kg for NLAW

I must've mixed up my data.

I thought the launcher was 25kg. Fair enough, it is difficult to transport this item without atleast 3 personnel (still difficult). Especially in mountainous areas without some off road vehicle.

Absolutely required for transport and off road use. Modified ATV's. We've seen in in Syria.

that would be interesting concept , a launcher with 4 launching tube on one of these vehicles for fast mobility and transport in battlefield .
it'll become the modern day Zanburak which was a key feature in success of King Nader army at the time

Indeed

Just look at this place. It will be needed

something like this but with Almass

only if kavir motor sold the vehicle for less than 600,000,000 toman

For latest models of the Yamaha Brand, looks to be around 14,000$ each. Which is roughly 600,000,000.

Older models would work as well, but yes good ATVs are definitely not cheap

Looking at the Almas that was made for UCAVs. Simply, that could be the more man portable version for a 2 man team. Probably made for both UCAVs and shoulder carried.

This is cool but is their launching platform similar to javelin which is the main reason why is it so effective against armored vehicles from close distances.

that almas we saw was only the tubes the targeting and actual launcher subsystems probably was inside the UAV
