    Iran unveils hypersonic weapon 'Fattah'

    Such a poorly researched article. This is the only paragraph that actually attempts to address Fattah’s capabilities: „Speeds achieved by hypersonic projectiles are impressive, but it should also be underlined that conventional ballistic missiles can fly at high speeds, too. They also reach...

    Iranian Missiles | News and Discussions

    How are they 'technically similar'? I don't see these similarities honestly. If we compare their shape, the nosetip angle on Fattah's RV indicates higher (terminal) speed than the North Korean RV. Actually, the North Korean RV resembles Pershing-II's RV much more than Fattah's RV: ^ North...

    Iran unveils hypersonic weapon 'Fattah'

    Except this is not what happened with Iran's Fattah at all. This missile is a natural development, not a sudden jump: Zelzal-2 -> Fateh-110 -> Fateh-313 -> Zolfaghar -> Dezful -> (Zoheir) -> Kheybar-Shekan -> Fattah. Each of these missiles were an incremental improvement. Iran has been working...

    If a country felt threatened by Iran the last thing they would want to do is to get involved and attack Iran with or without nuclear weapons but we're already off-topic here.

    Iran unveils hypersonic weapon 'Fattah'

    I think you'd be surprised how low public support in the US for a war with Iran would be. A direct US involvement would make the Iraq war look like a walk in the park. It would basically be political suicide for any US president. In Europe, Israel has less support than in the US. And why would...

    Iran unveils hypersonic weapon 'Fattah'

    Why would Iran have to fight half of the world in the first place? Seems like a pretty far-fetched scenario.

    Iran unveils hypersonic weapon 'Fattah'

    I wrote this on the 'Iranian Chill Thread' about whether Fattah's RV is a MaRV or HGV: Imo, Fattah's RV doesn't seem to fit perfectly in either 'category'. It is neither your 'typical' MaRV nor your 'typical' HGV. Unlike most, if not all, other MaRVs in its range class, Fattah's RV is better...

    Imo, Fattah's RV doesn't seem to fit perfectly in either 'category'. It is neither your 'typical' MaRV nor your 'typical' HGV. Unlike most, if not all, other MaRVs in its range class, Fattah's RV is better optimized for both speed (sustainer motor) and maneuverability (TVC + fins). Compared to...
