During a visit to an exhibition showcasing the accomplishments of the IRGC Aerospace Force on Sunday, Ayatollah Khamenei witnessed the introduction of several new advanced missile, defense and drone technologies.
Among these achievements was the new supersonic missile, “Fattah-2,” categorized as a hypersonic glide and cruise missile. This missile falls into the category of Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGV) and Hypersonic Cruise Missiles (HCM).
Notably, only four countries globally, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, possess the technology for such hypersonic weaponry.
Another standout exhibit was the “Mehran” mobile air defense system. Capable of engaging various aerial targets, Mehran has an impressive range of 320 kilometers.
The system is Transporter Erector Launcher and Radar (TELAR) based, featuring a mobile platform with integrated radar, missiles, and command post.
Each Mehran air defense system is equipped with four Mehran-1 missiles with a range of 320 kilometers.
The "Shahed-147" drone, the latest addition to the IRGC Aerospace Force's UAV fleet, is a large, long-range aircraft with a wingspan of 26 meters.
It has the capacity to fly up to an altitude of 60,000 feet and cover a range of over 1,000 kilometers within its surveillance capabilities.
Another noteworthy drone showcased in the exhibition was the "Shahed-139" drone.
These advancements underscore Iran’s commitment to enhancing its aerospace capabilities and maintaining technological prowess in the face of evolving regional and global security challenges.
