A new report by Military Watch Magazine claims that Iran’s Fattah-2 hypersonic glide vehicle is nearly impossible for existing air defense systems to intercept. The publication says the missile’s extreme speed and ability to maneuver in both course and pitch allow it to bypass traditional interception methods. Footage cited in the report indicates at least three successful strikes on Israeli targets since March 1. The report also references remarks from a senior Rafael executive acknowledging the difficulty of countering hypersonic weapons. Military Watch concludes that current missile defense networks may struggle to stop the Fattah-2 without major, costly upgrades.
