Design

Based on the published images regarding Misagh-3,[5][6] it can be said that this fuse is a laser type and its basis is that after launching the missile towards the considered target, a laser radiation source inside the missile spreads the light around 360 degrees; And as soon as it approaches the target and reflects the light of the laser light that hits the considered target, the warhead of the missile is activated and explodes.[7][8]
