The missile is capable of reaching speeds of up to 15,000 km/Hy can cover an approximate distance of 1400 kilometers. It can also be installed in the destroyer Ladamavand-2, belonging to the MOGH class, which would significantly increase the offensive power of the Iranian Navy.
At dawn on Wednesday, Iran incorporated the Fattah hypersonic missile First generation to the conflict with Israel, pointing to the center of the country. The Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) celebrated the fact ensuring that they had destroyed the “legendary” anti -aircraft defenses of the Israeli army, shaken the shelters and taken the “total control” of the Israeli airspace.
It is a Hypersonic ballistic missile developed by the aerospace force of The Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC). His name, Fattah, means “winner” in Arabic, and was thus baptized by the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Jamenei.

The development of this missile
The development of Fattah was announced in 2022, and its official presentation was held in June 2023 during a ceremony in which the then president Ebrahim Raisi (who died in 2024) and high command of the revolutionary guard participated. The missile was exhibited painted black, a color chosen by its symbolic burden of power and psychological control.
A day after the presentation of Fattaah, a banner was installed in the center of Tehran with the phrase: “400 seconds to Tel Aviv”, referring to the estimated time that would take the missile to reach that city.
Missile Technical Capabilities
Fattaah is highly maneuverable, thanks to a Mobile nozzle which allows the operator to adjust its trajectory during the flight. This capacity, combined with its speed greater than Mach 5 More than five times the speed of sound), makes it extremely difficult to intercept for conventional antimile defense systems.
The missile can reach speeds of up to 15,000 km/h and has an estimated scope of 1,400 kilometers (approximately 870 miles). According to Iranian media, it can also be installed in the advanced Damavand-2 destroyer, of the MOGH class, which would significantly expand the offensive abilities of the Iranian naval fleet.
