It has a range of between 65 m and 1000 m.[4] It has been described as an "anti-armor missile".[5] Saeghe-1 weights 6.1 kg and can penetrate in armors up to 500 mm. Also the 7.4 kg Saeghe-2 missile can penetrate up to 760 mm in armor with the aid of its tandem warhead.[6] These two missiles look like American Dragon anti armor missile.
