The missile has a reported length of 10.8 m, a body diameter of 0.65 (first-stage) and 0.5 m (second-stage), and a launch weight of 2,650 kg. The missile carries a single 250 kg high-explosive warhead. A two-staged missile, the Tondar 69 has a maximum range of a 150 km and uses solid-fuel. It employs inertial navigation system (INS) guidance with command updates.7
150kms is much less than 250kms but still, for the old specifications of the missile it's a lot. That is a huge distance when you really think about it, especially for what was built as a SAM.
If the modernized version is capable of traveling for 250kms, then turning it into a surface-to-surface missile is a good option, if the cost is feasible and the logistics are determined to be appropriate. Because unlike many of the newer G2G systems, they're certainly not static and much more mobile while at the same time, their supply mechanism transports more than 1 missile at a time. At least 2 would be ideal.
