Misagh-1

The Misagh-1 (also Mithaq-1) is an Iranian man-portable surface-to-air missile. It was developed by the Shahid Kazemi Industrial Complex in Tehran.

The MANPADS was supplemented by the newer Misagh-2 missile system.

Iran began production of the Misagh-1 in May 1993.

The Misagh-1 was reported to be found in anti-government insurgent arms caches in Iraq. The US military has suggestions that the MANPADs found were smuggled with Iranian assistance.

The Misagh-1 is a variant or reverse-engineered clone of the Chinese QW-1 Vanguard.

Visually, the Misagh-1 is virtually indistinguishable from the QW-1 it is cloned from and Pakistan's Anza missile. It can be distinguished from the QW-1M/Misagh-2 and the QW-18/Misagh-3 by the Misagh-1's straight battery unit.
