Sayyad 4B (Persian: موشک صیاد-۴ (بی)) is a 300-kilometer-range missile that is compatible with Iran's indigenous Bavar-373 air defense system. Sayyad 4B is the latest in the Sayyad series of solid-fuel missiles.
In a test conducted in October 2022, Sayyad-4 hit a target at 300 kilometers (186 mi), an increase of 100 kilometers (62 mi) from the missile's earlier iterations. The maximum altitude of the missile has reportedly increased from 27 to 32 km.
Although it is being marketed as an export item under the name AD-200, the Iranian military has not yet announced that the system has entered service. The Sayyad-4 missile uses active or semi-active radar homing in the terminal phase. Talaash air defense system is designed to fire the Sayyad-2 and Sayyad-3, but Sayyad-4 is based on Bavar-373 air defense system.
