Iran Unveils Hypersonic Missile Capable of Beating Air Defenses Amid Tensions with US

Iran has unveiled Fattah, a hypersonic ballistic missile that can breach defence systems and move at a speed of up to Mach 15. Hypersonic missiles are difficult to detect and destroy due to their speed and random path. Russia and China have already displayed hypersonic weapons, with Moscow being the only one thought to have tested them in combat. Iran's Fattah missile has a range of 1,400km and could theoretically reach Israeli targets in under seven minutes. The US has introduced a new round of sanctions on Tehran after the unveiling, including sanctions around its ballistic missile programme.

Iran has unveiled a new hypersonic missile called Fattah, which it claims can travel at 15 times the speed of sound and beat air defenses. The missile has a range of up to 1,400 kilometers and could pose a challenge to missile defense systems due to its speed and maneuverability. However, it remains to be seen if the missile can successfully strike a target. The announcement comes amid tensions with the United States over Iran's nuclear program and as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken begins a visit to Saudi Arabia.

Iran Unveils Hypersonic Missile Amid Tensions with US

Iran has unveiled a new hypersonic missile called Fattah, which it claims can travel at 15 times the speed of sound and beat air defenses. The missile has a range of up to 1,400 kilometers and a moveable nozzle that could allow it to change trajectories in flight, making it difficult to intercept. While hypersonic weapons could pose crucial challenges to missile defense systems, speed and maneuverability isn't a guarantee the missile will successfully strike a target. The announcement comes amid tensions with the United States over Tehran's nuclear program and as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is to begin a visit to Saudi Arabia.

Iran Unveils First Hypersonic Missile Capable of Defeating Air Defenses.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unveiled its first hypersonic missile, the "Fattah," which has a range of 1,400 kilometers and hits speeds of Mach 13-15. The missile is able to bypass and destroy air defense systems and features a moveable secondary nozzle and uses solid propellants, allowing it to reach high speeds and "perform various maneuvers inside and outside the earth's atmosphere." Iran claims the missile could hit Israel in 400 seconds. Hypersonic missiles are maneuverable, giving them the ability to dodge defense systems and evade radar.
