Media analysts and commentators in Israel have been discussing Iran’s new hypersonic missile that was unveiled by the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Hossein Salami.
It is said that the Fattah missile gives Iran a significant military edge in the region. According to Nir Dvori, a military commentator on Israel’s Channel 12, the missile will be difficult to detect, observe and intercept.

The channel’s Arab affairs commentator, Ohad Hamo, said that Iran’s missile is another step towards deterring Israel from launching any sort of military strike against the Islamic Republic.
He also pointed out that the Fattah missile will be difficult to intercept because of its speed — Mach 13 — and maneuverability. No missile defense system will be able to hit it. The USA does not possess hyper-sonic missiles, he added, only China and Russia do.
Iran’s unveiling of the Fattah hyper-sonic missile is a message to Israel. Iran has revealed its first hyper-sonic missile which can outpace missile defense systems and that will apparently give it a military edge against the West and the surrounding region.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi told those present at the missile’s unveiling ceremony on Tuesday. We know these achievements anger our enemies, but we say to them, die in your anger, because these achievements make the Iranian people happy.
What the Revolutionary Guards’ Air Force is accomplishing is scientific and local work far from foreign pressure.
Raisi insisted that Iran’s deterrence force is purely defensive, never offensive. It is a point of strength that contributes to establishing security in the region.
This missile means that the region will be safe from evildoers and foreign aggression.
The message to those who are thinking of attacking Iran is that the Islamic Republic is a powerful country and its power aims to support the people of Iran and the oppressed people of the world.

For Iranians to call Iran as their homeland is no problem but for the Khazar to call Palestine as their homeland is hilarious.
Hyper sonic missiles will need to be more sophisticated in order to pose a serious threat to Iran’s enemies.
The speed and maneuverability alone may not be enough. Anti-ballistic/anti-hyper sonic missile system technology is being developed by a number of nations.
It is said Ukraine received one of their most wanted shipment recently. Want to count how many of the above missiles are being produced by Iran.
It certainly has the USA worried –if you mean the US SM-6 ? as that is the ONLY one that will be upgraded to cope with hypersonic missiles and involves a multi-layered system to aid it to shoot any down of satellite and ground sensors -plus various other missiles in action at the same time . Do you understand the complicated set up involved ? Since Russia is able to block satellite communications used to target their missiles in Ukraine and Ukraine does not posses multi layered missile systems which means old fashioned – sling as many types of missiles… Read more »
