In June 2023, Iran proudly showcased its latest achievement in military
technology with the unveiling of the Fattah hypersonic missile.
Developed by Iranian scientists and engineers, the Fattah missile represents
a significant leap forward in terms of speed, maneuverability, and precision.
"We Can" motto was again realized on the Iranian defense industries page.
With the unveiling of the Fattah hypersonic missile,
a prideful day was recorded in the history of the Iranian people's honors.
The history of the Islamic Revolution is a collection of capabilities; The diversification of
defense equipment by using modern technologies has turned Iran into an effective and dynamic power.
Fattah has a unique launching method.
Stein pointed out that the missile has a high speed and a unique launching method and
is apparently related to a technological development that few countries possess.
He revealed that the Zionist regime security and military establishments contacted their
counterparts around the world and warned them that the matter is not only restricted to the
Iranian nuclear issue, as Iran has also turned into a superpower with weapons,
urging them to address the issue.
Stein stressed the need to "address the Iranian issue," adding that "today,
the Iranians opened their new embassy in Saudi Arabia, after many years since 2016."
He considered that the Iranians are sending a
message to the world that they are opening a new page with everyone.
Earlier, the Zionist regime media touched on Iran's new hypersonic ballistic missile,
Fattah, which was revealed Tuesday by the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian
Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), Major General Hossein Salami.
Nir Dvori, a military commentator on the Israeli Channel 12, said,
"The problem is if this missile goes through the atmosphere layer."
The military commentator explained, "I will try to describe this to you.
Have you tried in your life to throw a stone in water?
This missile makes a similar leap in the atmosphere,
and this leap is difficult to know, observe, and intercept."
On his part, Ohad Hemo, a commentator on Arab affairs for Channel 12,
said Iran is operating in several places a missile system directed at "Israel".
Hemo pointed out that once again,
"Israel" sees this Iranian step as part of a series of steps aimed at deterring it.
No system can intercept Fattah.
He underlined that it is difficult, to the point of impossibility, to intercept the new Iranian
missile due to its speed, which reaches Mach 13, and its movement, which no system can intercept.
The Israeli commentator mentioned that the United States does not
possess hypersonic missiles, noting that only China and Russia have that.
The Israeli Maariv newspaper also considered the Iranian
unveiling of the Fattah hypersonic missile as a message to "Israel".
The Fattah missile’s precision is another critical feature. Equipped with advanced guidance systems,
it can accurately strike targets with high levels of accuracy.
This precision, combined with the missile’s extended range,
allows Iran to reach targets across the Middle East and potentially beyond.
With an estimated range of over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles),
the Fattah missile has the capability to threaten key regional targets,
including military installations, airbases, naval vessels, and critical infrastructure.
The hypersonic missile named by the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ‘Fattah’ in
Farsi, which roughly translates to “the opener,” or “the conqueror,” was unveiled on Tuesday,
at a ceremony, the images of which were posted by the state media.
It showed Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and senior commanders of the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) at the unveiling of the missile.
“Today we feel that the deterrent power has been formed. This power is an anchor of lasting
security and peace for the regional countries,” said Raisi at the event.
“The precision-guided Fattah hypersonic missile has a range of 1,400 km and it is
capable of penetrating all defence shields,” said the head of the IRGC’s aerospace force,
Amirali Hajizadeh, as quoted by Reuters citing the Iranian state television.
The missile can move at a speed of up to Mach 15 (5,145 metres or 16,880 feet per second).
“It can bypass the most advanced anti-ballistic missile systems of the United States and the
Zionist regime, including Israel’s Iron Dome,” reported Reuters, citing Iran’s
state TV, adding that the missile is a “big generational leap in the field of missiles”.
This missile also comes months after the IRGC aerospace chief first made the announcement back
in November at an event marking the death anniversary of Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam,
known as the father of Iranian missile technology.
