Well here my guess is they wanted to reduce the weight as much as possible . but what I'm interested is the efficacy of both system in war situation.
A TV guided system is harder to get warning against but on other hand I guess you loose fire and forget.

Laser is not fire and forget. Laser must be trained on target till Missile close enough to target, for fighter bomber jet that’s not a problem flying high. For a helicopter that puts it in harms way.

I believe TV guidance can eventually lock on target once at appropriate distance (center of image).

TV guidance should have greater distance, as laser beam loses effectiveness as distance passes and furthermore aerosol gas canisters can scatter beam further thus reducing its strength.

Nonetheless, no right or wrong answer. But cost shouldn’t be a factor

Not laser guided versions of Hellfire.

Hellfire longbow variant is fire and forget but that uses a millimeter wave radar seeker along with inertial guidance.

I don’t know why but why Iran never touch their Fulcrums? Like has been over 20 years since they bough it but why they haven’t upgrade it?

I hope that in the Near future Iran will upgrade its MiG-29 fleet with a similar radar as what they are upgrading the F-4 fleet with! I hope to see Iran also develop a new medium range Air to air missile to replace its old stock of Aim-7s and R-27s!

I would love to see Iran build atleast one squadron of the Kowsars/Saeqhehs with twin fins & a grey color scheme, much like the Bahraini, Netherland, Turkish, Swiss, Chilean, South Korean, etc. I mean the blue & traditional green/brown is alright, however I would much prefer the grey. Even repainting some of the Saeqhehs of Kowsars would be awesome in my opinion.

Mig-23 in Iran !! surely it will be a former Iraqi MiG-23, but it's the first time I see it with the Iranian IRIAF insignia

observing the previous camouflage of the SU-22, the photo should have been taken a few years ago.
PS:
Some of the users know how many Iraqi Mig-23s have been transferred to Iran ?
