Fateh-110 Missile: Iranian Short Range Ballistic Missile

The Fateh-110 is an Iranian, road mobile, short range ballistic missile developed for surface to surface strikes against targets within the surrounding region. Iran began developing the system in the 1990s, with early flight testing reported in 2001. The missile is generally assessed as a development of the unguided Zelzal 2 rocket family, incorporating guidance and flight control systems.

The Fateh-110 Missile uses a single stage solid propellant motor, allowing comparatively rapid launch preparation because the missile does not require liquid fuel loading immediately before launch. It is carried by mobile launch systems, supporting dispersal and relocation after deployment.

Manufacturer

The Fateh-110 Missile program is indigenous to Iran, although assessments have identified possible Chinese assistance or components during its development. No single commercial manufacturer is consistently identified in open sources, so it is more accurate to describe it as an Iranian defense industry program. The missile entered Iranian service around 2004 and remains operational.

Speed and Range

The standard Fateh-110 is generally assessed to have a range of approximately 200 to 300 km, placing it in the short range ballistic missile category. Its launch weight is about 3,450 kg, while its payload is commonly estimated at roughly 450 to 600 kg.

A precise publicly verified maximum speed is not consistently available, so a Mach figure should not be presented as definitive. Later members of the Fateh family, including the Fateh 313, extend the range to about 500 km.

Cost / Price

There is no reliable publicly disclosed unit price for the Fateh-110. Production costs are influenced by missile configuration, launcher equipment, guidance components, and procurement arrangements. Any specific dollar figure should therefore be treated cautiously.
