Iran has unveiled its first-ever hypersonic missile, Fattah, which it says can penetrate missile defence methods and can give it a army edge.
State media on Tuesday printed photos of an unveiling ceremony, attended by President Ebrahim Raisi and senior commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), with the domestically made black missile seen.
State media mentioned the missile can transfer at a pace of as much as Mach 15 (5,145 metres or 16,880 toes per second), has a spread of 1,400km (870 miles) and incorporates a moveable secondary nozzle and employs strong propellants that enable for top manoeuvrability.
Supreme Chief Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has chosen the identify, they mentioned, which roughly interprets to “the opener”.
