It was first revealed as the Sarkash-I at the IDEAS 2024 defence exhibition and described as a "kamikaze drone" by GIDS. It is primarily designed with the goal of being used against high-value targets, such as radars and buildings.

Design and specifications The Sarkash-I's design attributes mirror those of a cruise missile; this is most evident in the design of the fuselage, which uses a cylindrical Babur or Harbah-style design. Additionally, the Sarkash-I is foldable, allowing the missile to be carried in and deployed from a canister. While the cannisters are not man-deployable, the lightweight Sarkash-I can be loaded on various light vehicles.

The Sarkash-I has the following specifications:

• Range: 700-1,000 km
• Weight: 175 kg
• Warhead Weight: 25-50 kg
• Warhead Type: Blast-fragmentation, etc
• Endurance: ≥120 minutes
• Powerplant: Undisclosed turbojet (possibly NESCOM or SoluNox)
