On Tuesday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force presented a hypersonic ballistic missile with enhanced capabilities that had been produced by the force.
At a ceremony in Tehran that was attended by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) revealed their hypersonic missile that has been given the name “Fattah.”
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, was responsible for selecting the name for the missile, and it has a range of 1,400 kilometers.
Hypersonic Missile Revealed by IRGC
The warhead of the missile is equipped with a spherical engine that operates on solid fuel and has a variable nozzle, therefore enabling the missile to go in any direction.
The domestic hypersonic ballistic missile has successfully completed all testing, according to the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who spoke last week.
He went on to say that the new missile is capable of penetrating all air defense missile systems and destroying the anti-missile systems used by the enemy.
According to the commander, the projectile’s creation was a “huge leap” for Iran’s missile industry, and the missile’s ability to move below and above the Earth’s atmosphere at a speed of Mach 13 was one of the missile’s most impressive features.
