Its speed is estimated to be about mach 4-5.

After six years of combat in the Iran-Iraq War, the prolonged conflict led to a shortage of weapons for Iranian forces, and they felt the need to procure additional weapons systems. The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force, employed an experienced test pilot, Fereidoun Ali-Mazandarani, as the experimental pilot in November 1986, and succeeded in synchronizing the mentioned missile with the AN/AWG-9 radar of the F-14 Tomcat launch aircraft. Experts in the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force also presented a related plan to convert the HAWK missiles. This plan was presented for the first time on 12 August 1986 with the name of "Project-Sedjil" by Ata'Allah-Bazargan (a high-ranking military pilot) and Fereidun Ali Mazandarani. It was submitted to the Iranian Air Force.[https://www.dana.ir/news/1465485.html/-%D8%B3%D8%AC%DB%8C%D9%84--%DA%86%DA%AF%D9%88%D9%86%D9%87-%D8%A8%D8%B1-%D9%BE%DB%8C%D8%B4%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C-%D8%AF%D8%B4%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%AC%D9%85%D9%87%D9%88%D8%B1%DB%8C-%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%DB%8C-%D9%85%DB%8C-%D9%86%D8%B4%DB%8C%D9%86%D8%AF- How does "Sedjil" sit on the foreheads of the enemies of the Islamic Republic?] dana.ir Retrieved 15 June 2020 The missile[http://iraneconomist.com/fa/news/287941/%D8%B3%D8%AC%DB%8C%D9%84-%D8%A8%D8%B1-%D9%BE%DB%8C%D8%B4%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C-%D8%AF%D8%B4%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%AC%D9%85%D9%87%D9%88%D8%B1%DB%8C-%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%DB%8C Sedjil on the foreheads of the enemies of the Islamic Republic] iraneconomist.com Retrieved 15 June 2020[https://www.3danews.ir/defense-and-security/91311/%D9%85%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%AD%D8%B1%DB%8C%D9%85-%D8%A2%D8%B3%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%9B-%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D8%B3%D8%AC%DB%8C%D9%84-%D8%AA%D8%A7-%D9%81%DA%A9%D9%88%D8%B1 Defenders of Iran's airspace; From Sedjil to Fakoor] 3danews.ir Retrieved 15 June 2020[https://www.irinn.ir/fa/news/63086/%D8%B3%D8%AC%DB%8C%D9%84-%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%85%DA%A9%D8%AA-%D8%A2%D9%85%D8%B1%DB%8C%DA%A9%D8%A7%DB%8C%DB%8C Iranian Sedjil in American Tomcat] irinn.ir Retrieved 15 June 2020 was finally manufactured on 4 April 1988.[https://www.yjc.ir/fa/news/6804585/%D8%AF%D9%86%DB%8C%D8%A7-%D9%85%D8%A8%D9%87%D9%88%D8%AA%D9%90-%D9%82%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%AA-%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B4%DA%A9%DB%8C-%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%B3%D8%AC%DB%8C%D9%84-%DA%86%DA%AF%D9%88%D9%86%D9%87-%D8%A8%D8%B1-%D9%BE%DB%8C%D8%B4%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C-%D8%AF%D8%B4%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%AC%D9%85%D9%87%D9%88%D8%B1%DB%8C-%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%DB%8C-%D9%85%DB%8C%E2%80%8C%D9%86%D8%B4%DB%8C%D9%86%D8%AF The world is amazed by Iran's missile power, "Sedjil" missile] yjc.ir Retrieved 15 June 2020
