Bina (Persian: بینا, lit. 'insightful') is an Iranian laser guided dual-capability surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missile.
History
[edit]It was successfully tested by Iranian military on February 10, 2014, according to Janes and Reuters.[1] It appears to be an AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missile with a semi-active laser (SAL) seeker fitted to its nose.[2]
Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan said the ballistic missile had radar-evading capabilities. [1]
Bina-2 air-to-surface missile was unveiled in 2018 which has increased its precision and range.
