Tondar Missile (Persian: تندر) is an Iranian Anti-tank guided missile[7][8][9] fired from the barrels of T-72 tanks. This Iranian missile[10][11][12][13] which has been manufactured by Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics (Iran), is launched from a 125 mm cannon barrel. Tondar-missile is able to destroy diverse targets at 4 kilometers distances.[14]

Iranian experts have applied the capabilities of the Tosan (missile) in the manufacturing process of Tondar-missile, that means: this anti-tank missile has the capability to target both fixed/moving targets on land and sea. In the meanwhile, this missile has the capability of destroying low-speed flying targets; and that's due to the kind of Tondar guidance.[15] It is said to be a copy of the AT-11 Sniper Soviet missile.[16] The warhead of the Tondar missile is lighter than that of the AT-11 Sniper missile which may indicate design changes or poor data reporting.[17]

According to the commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran's army in the Fars region: "It was the first time that in the exercise of Beit al-Moqaddas 26 in May 2014, three Iranian missiles of Dehlaviyeh, Tondar and Tusan were tested."[18][19][20][21]
