Iran has ramped up once more its threat to Israel as it unveiled a new hypersonic missile.<\/p>\n
The Fattah-2 rocket, which means “conqueror” in Persian, is an updated version of the Fattah missile announced in June.<\/p>\n
The main improvement in the new weapon is its ability to evade anti-aircraft fire, Iran claimed.<\/p>\n
Tehran said the Fattah-2 can do so thanks to its hypersonic glide vehicle, which detaches from the missile itself and can make sharp manoeuvres to dodge conventional missile defences while travelling to its target.<\/p>\n
Fattah-2 can, the theocratic state added, travel 15 times faster than the speed of sound and defeat Israeli air defences.<\/p>\n
