Purportedly an Emad ballistic missile being launched against Israel on 01OCT2024.
The liquid fueled Emad (Pillar) ballistic missile is based on the older Ghadr/Qadr missile. It can steer itself all the way to the target after reentry into the atmosphere. It is considered Iran’s first precision guided ballistic missile.

The two stage, solid fueled Fattah (The Opener)-1 is a ballistic missile with a top speed between Mach 13 and Mach 15. It has a variable position exhaust to aid in steering. Hypersonic missiles cannot be intercepted. Iran already considers the Fattah-1 obsolete and is now producing the improved Fattah-2.
