• Illustration — Two Sadid guided bombs in front of a Shahed 129 drone (right). The bomb weighs 34 kg and is 1.63 meters long, with a diameter of 152 mm. It has four fixed fins on the body for lift and stability and four deflectable fins on the tail for trajectory control. The bomb has a range of 6 km and is made of composite material. The Sadid-345 warhead is filled with composition H6 explosive and is prefragmented, with a specified lethal radius of 30 m. It is detonated by an impact fuse. There is the possibility that Sadid-345 glide bombs could be developed with tandem-warheads, but as of the present there is no evidence of this. The Sadid-345 can be equipped with an infrared seeker, with CEP of 2.5 m, a laser seeker with a CEP of 2.5 m, or a visual light seeker with a CEP of 5 m (though the CEP may be larger if there is difficulty with the image processing).

The Sadid-345 was developed after the intended armament for Iran's Shahed 129 UAV, the Sadid-1 ATGM, could not be successfully integrated for unclear reasons. It is believed the Sadid-345 was developed from the Toophan through the removal of the engine, propulsion system, and wire guidance components.

The IRGC is the only purchaser of the Sadid-345, as of 2018. Shahed-129 UAVs have been used to deploy Sadid-345 munitions against Islamic State positions in Syria. It can also be integrated on HESA Shahed 285 attack helicopters.
