General Amir Ali Hajizadeh
Iran on Monday announced that it had finished testing a new hypersonic missile capable of penetrating all defense systems and that it will soon be unveiled.
General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who commands the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s aerospace unit, said the development marked a “great leap in the field of missiles,” and that “the hypersonic missile has a high speed and can maneuver both in and out of the Earth’s atmosphere.”
Hajizadeh first revealed the development of the hypersonic missile last November.
“It will be able to breach all the systems of anti-missile defense,” said the general at the time, adding that he believed it would take decades before a system capable of intercepting it is developed.
Hypersonic missiles, like traditional ballistic missiles that can deliver nuclear weapons, can fly more than five times the speed of sound.
A hypersonic missile is also maneuverable, making it harder to track and defend against.
While countries like the United States and Israel have developed systems designed to defend against cruise and ballistic missiles, the ability to track and take down a hypersonic missile remains a question.
Last week, Iran unveiled another version of a ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles), enough to hit areas of Israel.
The Kheibar missile — the latest version of the Khorramshahr, which is Iran’s longest-range missile to date — was unveiled Thursday alongside a replica of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City, in a live broadcast on state television.
Iran said the missile had been successfully test-launched, with State TV broadcasting a few seconds of footage of what it said was the launch.
it would be doing the world a great service if some one did bomb israel
i hope its soon
I have been saying this for quite some time. Russia, China, and even North Korea, will have been using back channels to disseminate cutting edge military tech to Iran, because none of them wants Iran to fall under Nazi control.
Even the Nazi US has moved against the Bibi Nazi regime, because he’s just a dangerous cannon in a region that’s riding a tsunami of peace moves.
Israel has become a regional fossil, just as the Nazi US, and Nazi UK are also becoming fossilised. They don’t ‘moves like Jagger’ any more, and every clumsy move they try, they hurt themselves.
You know folks, I can see the day coming after the U.S. is collapsed that Iran unleashes it’s weapons on a massive strike at isra-hell.
Missile development always did sound a much better investment than new sooper-dooper aircraft. At least if your new missile system can’t take out planes or other missiles it can still become an artillery system of some kind to take out tanks or troops or buildings.
A video from Hindustan Times says the US may no longer be able to afford its F-35 program, citing cost overruns and upgrade developments. The Pentagon is asking for another $38billion. I didn’t know it but because of its many flaws they haven’t yet been able to put together a flight simulator for the darned thing. If they can’t even pretend they can fly it that is BAD.
Hypersonic missiles are a hoax.

The US could not get its Hyper-sonic to work. Maybe they can steal one of Iran’s to help out…..
And build plenty of them Iran. Goodonya
