Iranian President Raeisi at the unveiling of the Fattah hypersonic missile
Press TV – Aug 9, 2023
Military experts and technicians at the Iranian Defense Ministry have reportedly developed the technology to domestically design and manufacture a sophisticated cruise missile capable of traveling at high supersonic speeds.
The homegrown missile has been introduced as a new generation of Iranian cruise missiles and is currently in the testing stage, Tehran-based Tasnim News Agency reported Wednesday.
The report added that the missile will open a new chapter in Iran’s defense technologies, as it is extremely difficult to intercept a cruise missile flying at supersonic speeds.
Until now, Iranian cruise missiles relied on a rocket-assisted takeoff (RATO) engine in order to be launched and a homegrown turbojet engine, dubbed Tolou’ (Sunrise), for the second stage.
The employment of ramjet engines in naval cruise missiles and the development of supersonic cruise missiles are of paramount importance, as they will greatly enhance Iran’s response power in case of any military confrontation and prevent the invading forces from taking timely retaliatory measures.
A ramjet, or athodyd, is a variant of an air-breathing jet engine that does not include a rotary compressor; rather, it uses the forward motion of the engine to take in air for combustion that produces jet thrust.
Dena destroyer to be equipped with vertical launch missiles
Meanwhile, the domestically-manufactured Mowj class Dena destroyer is going to be furnished with state-of-the-art vertically-launched missiles in the near future.
Given the long-haul missions of destroyers, the impossibility of shore support in many cases and the variety of aerial threats, including fighter jets, drones and missiles, it is absolutely necessary to equip military vessels with air defense systems enjoying pinpoint accuracy, Tasnim said.
Iranian military experts and engineers have in recent years made remarkable breakthroughs in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient.
Officials have also repeatedly asserted that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will be never subject to negotiations.
Rewording: Iran is given technology to build all manner of advanced weapons, because both Russia and China, see Iran as a massive economic force. China is investing $25 billion in Iran, and both will do all they can to stop the Nazis attacking Iran, and I include Nazi Israel.
This idea that Jew bankers and Israel are controlling China and Russia, this is an old trope. Israel has been made to look foolish and impotent, and Western banks, which are bust, are a joke!
