Fattah-2
Fattah-2 (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) is an Iranian hypersonic missile unveiled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in November 2023. It is introduced as a successor of Fattah‑1, with a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) designed to reach high speed and maneuverability.[1] [2]
Description
Iran claims the Fattah‑2 uses a two-stage boost‑glide architecture: a solid‑fuel rocket booster followed by a maneuverable glide vehicle capable of altering trajectory mid-flight, traits that make interception more difficult.[3]
Capabilities
According to Iranian statements, Fattah-2 can travel at speeds up to Mach 15 and strike targets up to 1,400km away, designed to penetrate advanced missile defenses through unpredictable flight paths.[4]
Operational history
In June 2025, Iran reported having fired hypersonic missiles, including Fattah-2 in attacks on Israel during tensions. Experts say the fact that they were used indicates the confidence Tehran has in the platform, although independent confirmation is scarce.[5]
