Qaem

A surface-to-air Qaem missile.

The Qaem (or Ghaem; Persian: قائم, lit.'upright')[1] refers to two completely distinct Iranian weapons: an air-to-ground glide bomb and a surface-to-air missile. These two weapons are similarly sized and identically named, and are both developed from the Toophan missile, but are separate weapon systems.
