Yasin Satellite Guided Glide Bomb
The missile named "Yasin" – named after a surah, or chapter, in the Koran – is a smart folding-wing missile that can be fired from a distance of 50 kilometers (30 miles) from manned or unmanned aircraft. In a ceremony in Tehran on 06 August 2019, Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami unveiled the new homegrown munitions, including the ‘Yaseen’ and ‘Balaban’ guided smart bombs. Yaseen is a smart, long-range guided bomb that can be used in all weather conditions, is mounted on various types of manned aircraft and drones, enjoys safety features, and could be used in the operations against the short- and long-range targets.
In August 1995, a major achievement for the IRGC Air Force was the re-operation of the Sukhoi 22 attack aircraft; The planes had been out of operation in Iran for years. With the re-operation of these variable-wing and supersonic birds, a new series of weapons was defined for them, one of which was the Yassin series guided bombs. At the time of the unveiling of these bombs, it was not clear that we were in fact facing Yassin because we were facing two winged bombs in front of the overhauled aircraft at the unveiling ceremony, but at the same time, many experts stated that Iran has acquired remote-controlled satellite bombs.
The bomb uses a 500-pound or 225-kilogram warhead and weighs about 300 kilograms with an increased range and accuracy, including wings and wings and navigation and guidance systems. Yassin, with its navigation systems and satellite guidance, achieves very high accuracy, which has been seen in the error of less than 10 meters in previous experiments.
