Saegheh (rocket)

The Saegheh is an Iranian anti-personnel RPG-7 warhead.[1] It was developed to extend the utility of the RPG-7 portable rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) in service with the Iranian forces.[2] It replaces the standard 30mm warhead with a high-explosive 40mm warhead with prefragmented steel warhead body.[3]
