Historical profile
The Masaaf was unveiled in 2017 by DIO as a designated-marksman rifle bridging the gap between the Iranian G3A6 and the Sayyad/Shaher anti-materiel systems.
Initial deliveries went to Artesh army units and border-security detachments, with later exports to allied militias in Iraq and Syria.
