Lesson for China? Iran’s low-cost 358 missile takes out million-dollar US assets

Iran's 358 loitering munition, also known as the SA-67, has gained international attention, particularly in China, for its effectiveness in downing expensive US-made drones. The missile, weighing 50kg and powered by a micro-turbojet and solid rocket booster, can travel 100-150km at subsonic speeds. It utilizes an infrared seeker for target guidance. Chinese state media has reported on the 358's role in the US-Israel conflict with Iran, highlighting its ability to destroy unmanned aerial vehicles like the MQ-9 Reaper. The 358's success in neutralizing costly assets has sparked interest in its low-cost counter-drone capabilities.
