The head of the Aerospace Forces (VKS) of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, announced a demonstration of a hypersonic ballistic missile created in Iran.
This is reported by a number of Iranian media.
- the military commander declared.
If the characteristics stated by the general are confirmed, then the speed of this missile is approximately equal to the speed of the Russian "Dagger", which is Mach 10-12, and even slightly exceeds it, reaching Mach 13.
Hajizadeh claims that the latest Iranian weapon of destruction is capable of overcoming any missile defense of a potential enemy.

The Iranian military commander first spoke about the development of this weapon in the fall of 2022. When it enters the army, it will be a serious cause for concern for Israel.
