bruh i mean something really cheap without any propelant or engine. this missile we have is jet powered, several laser sensors and an IIR seeker... it is not cheap. what i have in my mind is some light steerable glider with cheap daylight camera (like the ones we see on 2000's cell phones) on it and in shape of mortar with mortar propellant in it's back. some thing that we can launch from +80 mm mortars. some thing which is cheap enough to compare it with 2-3 ordinary mortar shell. it's gonna be a suicide drone without propeller or engine just glide to it's target. and operator guides the shell.

upgraded bell-214 helicopter with new FLIR, MFD, rocket pod and 20 mm gatling gun:

shahryar helicopter:

this one has a quit story. the shayryar is actually bell-214ST which was originally designed for IIAA but after revolution delivery didn't materialized. after the beginning of war with iraq, US delivered them to Iraq. this example used against Iran but due to technical malfunction forced to land on our soil. after that event, Iraqi soldiers throw several grenades and opened fire on it and literally destroyed it. years after that PANHA managed to refurbish it.
if we manage to build shahryar/bell-214st on our own, US can not legally object us because they were the ones who didn't hold their part of bargain. also it's literally a war trophy so we can reverse engineer it.

Why waste effort to build a 1960’s designed helicopter?

Better to design a lower RCS helicopter with radar absorbing materials like the one used in Bin Laden raid.
