Fattah-2 Strategic Hypersonic Strike Missile

The Fattah-2 represents Iran’s latest step into the rapidly evolving hypersonic weapons domain, building on the foundation established by the earlier Fattah-1. As a next-generation long-range hypersonic glide-capable missile, the system is designed to penetrate modern air-defense networks and deliver high-speed, precision strikes against high-value targets. For defense analysts and U.S. audiences tracking global missile developments, the Fattah-2 provides insight into Iran’s expanding strategic capabilities.

Developed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force (IRGC-ASF), the Fattah-2 reportedly features enhanced maneuverability, improved guidance, and higher survivability against ballistic missile defense systems. While official specifications remain limited, the missile is believed to integrate a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) capable of performing mid-course evasive maneuvers beyond the reach of traditional interception systems.

Design & Capabilities

The Fattah-2 is assessed to reach hypersonic speeds potentially exceeding Mach 10, enabling rapid striking ability across regional distances. Its effective range is expected to fall within the 1,000–1,500 km class, allowing it to target strategic infrastructure and military installations. The missile’s solid-fuel propulsion system supports rapid launch readiness, reducing pre-launch detection windows.

The warhead section is believed to incorporate advanced penetration and high-explosive technologies, optimized for hardened or critical targets. Guidance is expected to rely on a combination of inertial navigation (INS) and potentially satellite-aided enhancements, though Iran’s indigenous navigation capabilities remain limited.

Operational Role

The Fattah-2’s intended mission is strategic deterrence, providing Iran with a weapon capable of bypassing conventional missile defenses. Although not combat proven, it reflects Tehran’s focus on asymmetric tools to challenge technologically superior adversaries.

Fattah-2 Hypersonic Missile Price

The Fattah-2 is not available for foreign military sale, and no official price exists. However, based on comparable hypersonic research programs, a unit cost—if produced in the U.S.—could range from tens to hundreds of millions of dollars per missile due to advanced materials, propulsion, and guidance technologies.

FAQs

Is Fattah-2 a supersonic missile?

No. The Fattah-2 is not just a supersonic missile—it is classified as a hypersonic missile, meaning it can travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5, far faster than standard supersonic weapons.

How fast is the Fattah-2 missile?

Exact verified figures are not publicly available, but Iranian sources claim the Fattah-2 can reach speeds of Mach 10 or higher, placing it within the upper tier of global hypersonic weapons.

What is a Fattah-2 missile?

The Fattah-2 is a next-generation Iranian hypersonic missile equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV). Designed by the IRGC Aerospace Force, it is intended for long-range precision strikes, high maneuverability, and penetration of modern air-defense systems.

Fattah-2 hypersonic missile cost

The Fattah-2 is not sold internationally, and Iran has not released a public cost estimate. However, based on global hypersonic development metrics, a comparable missile could cost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars per unit if manufactured in an advanced defense industry.

What is the difference between Fattah-1 and Fattah-2?

Fattah-1 is Iran’s first-generation hypersonic missile, relying primarily on aerodynamic body maneuverability.
Fattah-2 incorporates a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), enabling more advanced mid-course maneuvering, higher survivability, and improved ability to evade missile defenses.
Overall, Fattah-2 represents a significant technological leap over Fattah-1.
