Iran just brought a new missile into the spotlight, the Fattah-2.
This isn’t your usual missile. It launches with a solid-fuel booster, shoots up crazy fast, reportedly past Mach 15, all the way to the edge of the atmosphere.
Then it flips the script. The booster drops off, and a hypersonic glide vehicle takes over, carrying the warhead back down.
And this is where it gets tricky… it doesn’t just fall straight. It glides, adjusts mid-air, flies around 12–30 km high, then drops lower and starts making sharp, last-second turns.
Speed? Anywhere from Mach 5 to Mach 20, that’s up to ~17,900 km/h (around 10,000 mph). At that speed, systems like Iron Dome, Arrow, and David’s Sling barely get time to react.
So it’s not just fast, it’s moving all over the place, too. That combo makes it really hard to stop.
If this actually works as they say… this is the kind of thing that starts messing with how current air defenses are built.
