According to Iran, it can maneuver in and out of the atmosphere, and is capable of bypassing missile defenses.[8]
History
On 10 November 2022, during the 11th anniversary of the death of Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, known as the "father of Iranian missiles", Iran announced it has built an advanced hypersonic ballistic missile calling it a "major generational leap". Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, IRGC-ASF commander, said the missile has a high velocity and can maneuver below and above the Earth's atmosphere. He said "it can breach all the systems of anti-missile defence" and added that he believed it would take decades before a system capable of intercepting it is developed.[9][10]
The unveiling ceremony occurred on 6 June 2023,[6] Iran also unveiled a newer version Fattah-2 in November 2023.[11]
