Iran's Hypersonic Missile

Iranian local media claimed yesterday the country had built its first hypersonic ballistic missile, capable of flying at least 15 times faster than the speed of sound. Iran's latest military technology debut comes as the country reopened its embassy in Saudi Arabia, following an April deal to restore diplomatic ties between the two nations, while talks over Iran's nuclear program have stalled with the US and its Western allies.

A model of the hypersonic missile, dubbed Fattah or "Conqueror" in Farsi, was unveiled during a state-televised event yesterday. The head of the paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ aerospace program claimed the missile has a range of 870 miles. A test launch of the missile does not appear to have been conducted.

Hypersonic missiles travel at excess of roughly five times the speed of sound and may evade radars more effectively, making them difficult to intercept. The US, China, Russia, and North Korea are among nations pursuing the technology.

We saw, in another forum, where somebody asked "is this real?" They were asking that question regarding a single photo, without a caption which showed "LGBTQ" being included in access to a priority lane.

After seeing that, we, too, were curious; "is this indeed real?"

Well, in a nutshell, yes, it is.
