TEHRAN (Iran News) –On Tuesday, the Islamic of Republic of Iran once again unveiled another sign of its series of achievements and this time it put on display one of its amazing achievements in the military sector by unveiling a hypersonic missile which angered the enemies and especially the West.
The Fattah (Conqueror) hypersonic missile was unveiled at a ceremony in Tehran on Tuesday in the presence of Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi, General Salami and Commander of the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, as well as a number of Iran’s high-ranking military officials.
The hypersonic missile has a range of 1,400 kilometers, hits speeds of 13-15 Mach and can breach and destroy all anti-missile shields. The precision-guided missile also features excellent maneuverability and stealth ability to pass through radar systems.
With a solid fuel propulsion system and a second-stage movable nozzle, the missile has the ability to reach very high speeds and perform various maneuvers in and out of the Earth’s atmosphere in order to overcome all types of air defense systems.
In recent years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has unveiled many achievements but its achievements in the military sector have been noticed considerably by the enemies rather than its achievements in other fields.
The chief commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) lauded the country’s remarkable progress in defense missile industry, saying the elite force has acquired the know-how to diversify military systems in various sectors.
Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks on Tuesday on the sidelines of the unveiling ceremony of “Fattah” hypersonic missile manufactured by the IRGC’s Aerospace Force.
Salami underlined that Iran’s leaps and advances in the defense sector, including the missile and drone industries, have been made with the use of advanced technology such as artificial intelligence and technical capabilities in manufacturing sensitive and high-tech components.
“We have acquired the knowledge and technology of diversifying various types of systems … in different sectors, including the Fattah missile, which is a hypersonic maneuverable missile that can easily change its plan of movement in space and pass through the anti-missile systems,” the IRGC’s chief commander said.
“Such technology is very up-to-date and advanced and unknown to the modern world and to most countries” but our country’s committed experts have achieved it, Salami added.
Addressing the unveiling ceremony, Hajizadeh said Iran is now among only four countries that have the technology to manufacture hypersonic missiles.
Unlike other types of missiles, Fattah cannot be countered by any defense system, he said, adding that the hypersonic missile cannot be destroyed by any missile due to its movement in various directions and heights.
“Our activities in this field do not end with the manufacturing of this missile. We will continue this path so that no enemy even imagines attacking Iran,” the IRGC commander asserted.
Hajizadeh further said that Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has supported and approved the missile activities, noting that Ayatollah Khamenei has chosen the name “Fattah”, which translates to “the opener”.
Meanwhile, Commander of the Iranian Army’s Air Defense Force Brigadier General Alireza Sabahi-Fard on Monday announced plans to build a second version of the Bavar-373 (Belief-373) surface-to-air missile system.
“Good news will be published in the near future from the Iranian Army’s Air Defense Force,” Fars news agency quoted Sabahi-Fard as saying.
“The second version of the Bavar-373 [missile] system will be more advanced than the first version and will further increase our power in the field of air defense,” he said.
These achievements secure the country against any probable attack by the enemies because now enemies are facing with a tough opponent and they know that in case they attack, they will face harsh retaliation and answer.
Back in November, the IRGC announced that it had developed a cutting-edge hypersonic ballistic missile capable of penetrating advanced missile interception systems and hit the targets.
The elite force declared that the ballistic missile, manufactured by Iranian experts, is very fast and able to maneuver both in the space and outer space, with military officials describing the development of the ballistic missile as a “great leap in the field of missiles.”
Last month, Iran successfully test-launched its most advanced Khorramshahr-class ballistic missile, called Kheibar, a medium-range precision-guided missile that can carry a 1,500 kg warhead.
Despite being under sanctions for decades, Iran has become self-sufficient in designing and manufacturing different types of military equipment, including missiles.
Of course these achievements will never go unnoticed by the enemies and make them angry and after any unveiling of a new type of missile or any weapon, the U.S. and its allies impose some sanctions on those who are involved in Iran’s missile, drone or military industries which are now among the world top four countries.
As the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution has repeatedly emphasized, the country should continue its progresses in all fields especially in military sector because it secures the country against ill-wishes and threats and Fattah is another tool in defending the country and making angry the enemies especially Israel and its ally the U.S. which have no good sleep at nights because of such amazing progresses.
