The hypersonic missile "Fattah", which was presented in Iran, may not meet the declared characteristics. Military expert Vasily Dandykin, in an interview with NEWS.ru, doubted the capabilities of the ammunition.

“Strange characteristics - speed 12-13 Machs. Faster than our "Dagger", or what? The range is also serious, 1.4 thousand kilometers. Raises doubts, with all due respect to the Iranian defense industry. But miracles do happen. Now two countries fully possess hypersonic weapons - Russia, which has tested it in combat conditions, and China, ”the analyst said.

According to him, Tehran's demonstration of the rocket sent a signal to Israel and the United States. Dandykin also ruled out the possibility of Iran transferring such ammunition to Russia, since Russia's arsenals contain "the entire range of cruise and ballistic missiles."

In November 2022, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Forces, announced that Iran had developed the first domestic hypersonic ballistic missile.
