Fattah-1 (Persian: موشک هایپرسونیک فتاح) is an Iranian hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and unveiled in 2023. It is Iran's first hypersonic ballistic missile. According to Iran, its high maneuverability and speed allows it to defeat all missile defence systems.[3][4][5][6][7]

Its name, meaning "conqueror" or "bringer of victory", "victor" in Arabic, is in reference to Al-Fattāḥ, was selected by the Supreme Leader of Iran.

Some ballistic missiles already reach hypersonic speeds, Fattah however belongs to a new class of weapon that only a limited ranks of countries possesses.[8]

## Description[edit]

Fattah 1 is a precision-guided two-stage solid-fueled missile with a range of 1400 km and terminal speed of Mach 13 to Mach 15. Its warhead has a spherical engine running on solid fuel with a movable nozzle that allows the warhead to increase its own speed and move in all directions.[7][9][10]

According to Iran, it can maneuver in and out of the atmosphere, and is capable of bypassing missile defenses.[11] It can also target anti-ballistic missile systems to clear the way for other ballistic missiles.[12]

## History[edit]

On 10 November 2022, during the 11th anniversary of the death of Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, known as the "father of Iranian missiles", Iran announced it has built an advanced hypersonic ballistic missile calling it a "major generational leap". Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, IRGC-ASF commander, said the missile has a high velocity and can maneuver below and above the Earth's atmosphere. He said "it can breach all the systems of anti-missile defence" and added that he believed it would take decades before a system capable of intercepting it is developed.[13][14][15][16] He also said it can target even the most advanced and significant missile defense systems in the world.[17]

The unveiling ceremony occurred on 6 June 2023,[7] Iran also unveiled a newer version Fattah-2 in November 2023.[18]

According to Western sources this missile saw action in the 2024 Iranian strikes in Israel, this is denied by Iranian sources.[19] Kheibar Shekan, claims they used "although at least some of the ballistic missiles", in an interview, to english iranian state tv[20]
