The SMD-13 Tahadi (Arabic: تحدي, "Challenge") is a Riysian second-generation anti-tank guided missile. Essentially an enlarged and longer-ranged SMD-12 Ain Jalut missile, it is designed for mounting on vehicles and helicopters, but can also be fired from the SMD-12's man-portable firing post.
As of 2019, it is still in production in the improved SMD-13MJ model, and it is both the most produced Riysian anti-tank missile and the most common anti-tank missile in the Riysian Armed Forces. However, its end of life is in sight, as it is planned to replace it with the SMD-19 Amjad complex.
