00:00Fatah Irani is suspected of using his high-tech hypersonic missiles traveling at 18,000 kilometers
00:09per hour for the first time in the attack on Israel on Tuesday.
00:13The elite Revolutionary Guard of Iran claimed to have launched ballistic missiles to strike
00:17Israel in the attack dubbed Operation True Promise 2.
00:21The missile called Fatah, which means victory was unveiled at a grand ceremony last year.
00:27Iran describes Fatah 1 as a hypersonic missile, meaning it travels at a speed of 5 Mach or
00:34five times faster than sound.
00:36Iran stated that the deadly weapon could hit the enemy's advanced anti-missile systems
00:41and is a significant step forward in the field of missiles.
00:45General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Aerospace
00:50Division, claimed at the time that the missile can maneuver inside and outside the atmosphere.
00:55However, experts have cast doubt on the hypersonic description, noting that almost all ballistic
01:01missiles reach hypersonic speeds when launched.
01:04The missile is said to have a range of 1,500 kilometers, a distance sufficient to hit targets
01:10in Israel.
01:11It is reported to be a solid-fuel missile, meaning it can be prepped in advance and kept
01:16on standby for launch at any time.
01:19Hajizadeh also claimed last year that this weapon cannot be destroyed by any other missile
01:25because it moves in different directions and at different altitudes.
01:29Iran claimed that the missiles took less than 15 minutes to reach targets in Israel, including
01:34the Mossad headquarters in Glilet near Tel Aviv.
