Qaem 114 is an Iranian-made air-to-surface missile designed for anti-armor operations. It can be launched from drones or attack helicopters and features a fire-and-forget guidance system. This missile was developed based on the American AGM-114 Hellfire, and the number 114 in its name signifies this inspiration.[1]
The Qaem-114 missile was first observed in Iran during the IAIO Fotros unveiling in late November 2013. At that time, no information about the performance or operational status of the missile was released. Still, speculation suggested that the missile was likely modeled after the laser-guided version of the Hellfire missile. Several years later, the operational version of this missile was seen mounted on an upgraded Bell 214 helicopter of the IRGC, with two missiles on each side, in February 2020. Subsequently, in December 2020, the Qaem 114 missile, along with its counterpart, the Qaseem missile, which utilizes various seekers, was displayed at an exhibition showcasing the latest achievements of the Iranian Navy. The missile was most recently seen in August 2021 during a ceremony for the mass delivery of equipment to the IRGC Ground Forces, mounted as a quadruple launcher alongside the Qaseem missile on a Toufan 2 helicopter.[2][3][4]
