Although the state media failed to disclose when such a missile could finish with testing and be publicly unveiled, reports of such capabilities are not entirely new.a new ballistic missile with a range of 1,242 miles and a payload capacity of a ton and confirmed plans to soon make public a hypersonic missile.
Those rumors dated from back in November of last year when the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps 's aerospace unit, Amirali Hajizadeh, claimed that the country had developed a hypersonic missile. These claims had been met with skepticism by the US. However, in May, Hajizadeh told an Iranian news agency that the missile has passed all its tests and will soon be unveiled.
Reports at the time indicated that the missile is capable of maneuvering itself both inside and outside the atmosphere and can fly at speeds between 12-15 Mach. Under normal circumstances, any projectile that can reach speeds between Mach 1 and Mach 5 is considered supersonic. Finally, in June of 2023, the Islamic nation announced development of its first hypersonic ballistic missile that was reportedly capable of evading radars and breaching any defense system.
