Iran's IRGC unveils home-grown hypersonic missile

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has unveiled its home-made hypersonic missile Fattah.

The modern missile was unveiled in a ceremony in Tehran in the presence of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Tuesday morning.

The missile is the latest achievement of IRGC Aerospace Force (IRGCASF). 

IRGCASF's Commander Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh had said in late May that Iran's new hypersonic missile will mark the launch of a new generation of missiles in Iran.

Due to having great tactical capabilities, Fattah can fly at very high speeds and perform various maneuvers in and out of earth’s atmosphere.

Fattah has a range of 1,400 kilometers and hits the target at a speed of Mach 13 to 15.

Only a handful of countries, including the US, China, Russia and North Korea have mastered the technology to manufacture hypersonic missiles.
