Iranian missiles used to strike Israel

Iran's ballistic missile arsenal has been a key component of its military strategy, with several models used in regional conflicts, including those targeting Israel. The most advanced of these missiles is the Fattah-2, a hypersonic missile capable of reaching exceptional speeds, making it extremely challenging for most air defense systems to intercept.

Key Performance Characteristics of the Fattah-2 Hypersonic Missile:

Speed: The Fattah-2 is hypersonic, reaching speeds of over Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound), significantly reducing the time for defense systems to respond.
Maneuverability: Unlike traditional ballistic missiles, the Fattah-2 can maneuver during its flight path, which makes it even more difficult for interceptors to track and neutralize it.
Range: Reports suggest the Fattah-2 can cover distances of around 1,400 kilometers (870 miles), allowing it to strike targets deep within Israel or other distant targets in the region.
Warhead: It can carry conventional warheads, but its speed and maneuverability make even a non-nuclear payload devastating due to the kinetic energy upon impact.

This missile poses a significant challenge for most air defense systems, including Israel's Iron Dome and David's Sling, which are not specifically designed to counter hypersonic threats. The use of such advanced weaponry signals a dangerous escalation in the conflict, increasing concerns about regional security and the effectiveness of current missile defense technologies.
