Missile Specifications

The Hypersonic Missile by Iran can fly at least five times faster than the speed of sound and on a complex trajectory, which makes them difficult to intercept. Last year, Iran also claimed about the missile which can move in and out of the atomsphere.

Now Fattah can target ‘the enemy’s advanced anti-missile systems and is a big generational leap in the field of missiles. It can bypass the most advanced anti-ballistic missile systems of the United States and the Zionist regime, including Israel’s Iron Dome’.

Despite all the opposition from Western world, the Islamic Republic has announced that it will further develop it’s defensive missile programme to strengthen it’s defence system for future.
