Misil de crucero antibuque Sayyad

Also known as
  • Sayyad
  • Sayyad naval cruise missile
  • Sayyad ASCM
  • Paveh-based Sayyad
  • Project 351 anti-ship cruise missile
  • Quds-family Sayyad

El Sayyad es un misil de crucero antibuque hutí vinculado por el IISS con la familia iraní de misiles de crucero Paveh/Project 351 o Quds. Las fuentes abiertas lo describen como la contraparte con buscador de radar del Quds-Z-0 guiado por EO/IR, lo que da a las fuerzas alineadas con los hutíes una opción de ataque marítimo de largo alcance durante la guerra de Yemen y la posterior campaña antibuque en el mar Rojo.

Identification And Evidence Limits

El Sayyad está documentado principalmente mediante material de exhibición hutí y evaluaciones externas de fuentes abiertas. Las fuentes públicas más sólidas identifican la conexión familiar y la división por tipo de buscador, pero mantienen cautela en la atribución de ataques individuales.

Punto de evidenciaQué respaldaLímite que preservar
Linaje familiarMaterial del IISS y vinculado a la DIA conecta los misiles de crucero hutíes Quds/Paveh con la línea iraní Project 351, y señala rasgos de diseño compartidos en motores, aletas traseras y propulsores auxiliares.El registro describe linaje y apoyo tecnológico en lugar de afirmar una cadena pública completa de fabricación.
Distinción del buscadorEl IISS identifica al Sayyad como la versión antibuque con buscador de radar y al Quds-Z-0 como la versión con buscador EO/IR.Las fuentes públicas no proporcionan un modelo completo de buscador, cadena de adquisición de blancos ni registro de pruebas.
Uso en el mar RojoEl IISS lista misiles de crucero antibuque basados en Paveh/Quds, incluidos Sayyad y Quds-Z-0, entre los sistemas que se sabe que se han utilizado en la campaña antibuque hutí.El episodio del MSC Orion se trata mejor como un probable intento fallido con misil de tipo Paveh, no como un impacto confirmado solo por Sayyad.

Variants

Las fuentes públicas tratan al Sayyad como un miembro antibuque con guiado por radar de la familia más amplia de misiles de crucero Quds/Paveh, con el Quds-Z-0 como la rama antibuque EO/IR y el Quds-1 como una rama anterior de ataque terrestre.

The Sayyad shares the Iranian Project 351/Paveh or Quds lineage associated with earlier Houthi land-attack cruise missiles, but is adapted for anti-ship targeting.

  2. IISS seeker split reaches wider reporting

    TWZ resumió la evaluación del IISS de que el Sayyad era la versión antibuque de la familia Paveh/Quds con guiado por radar, emparejada con el Quds-Z-0 guiado por EO/IR.

  3. Paveh-type missile linked to MSC Orion attempt

    El IISS evaluó posteriormente que los restos de un misil de tipo Paveh hallados en el norte de Somalia probablemente fueron lanzados en un intento fallido conectado con la reivindicación hutí de finales de abril de 2024 contra el MSC Orion.

  4. Houthi-aligned media reports active service

    Press TV informó de una declaración de la Armada yemení según la cual el Sayyad había entrado en servicio activo, y repitió afirmaciones hutíes sobre su alcance de 800 km y su configuración de lanzamiento terrestre móvil.

Open-source and UN-linked analysis describes a compact, ground-launched cruise missile powered by a TJ100-type turbojet and tied to Iranian design and supply networks despite Houthi claims of indigenous development. In the 2014 Yemen Civil War, Houthi-aligned forces used the Quds-1 for long-range strikes against Saudi airport, desalination, and oil-infrastructure targets.

Houthi-affiliated media claimed a seven-meter missile with a 300-kilometer range and micro-turbojet propulsion, while outside assessments differ on whether the public evidence best matches Ghader, Ghadir, or a broader C-802 derivative.

It links the Al-Mandab-1/C-801 family to 2014 Yemen Civil War coastal defense and later appears in 2023 Red Sea Crisis reporting as Houthi truck-mounted anti-ship missiles and launchers threatened shipping from Houthi-controlled Yemen.
