Fattah (Persian: موشک هایپرسونیک فتاح) is an Iranian hypersonic long-range ballistic missile developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and unveiled in 2023. It is Iran's first hypersonic ballistic missile. According to Iran, its high manoeuverability and speed allows it to defeat all missile defence systems.[1][2][3][4][5]

Its name, meaning victor in Arabic, was selected by Iranian Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

Description

Fattah is a precision-guided two-stage solid-fueled missile with a range of 1400 km and terminal speed of Mach 13 to Mach 15. Its warhead has a spherical engine running on solid fuel with a movable nozzle that allows the missile to move in all directions.[5][6][7]

It can manoeuver in and out of the atmosphere, in addition of its speed is capable to bypass every anti-missile system such as Iron Dome. [8] This is likely due to its ability to manoeuver to avoid interception even at hypersonic speed.

It can also target anti ballistic missile systems. The opponent would then have no defence against Iran's other missiles.[9]

According to Chief of IRGC it has AI capability.[10]
