Claimed by IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami (Iranian)
Iran has demonstrated genuine hypersonic glide vehicle capability with the Fattah series, but specific performance claims from this test have not been confirmed by any independent technical assessment.
No independent radar or telemetry data has confirmed the Mach 15 velocity claim. NORAD acknowledged detecting a hypersonic test but declined to confirm performance parameters. The claim of defeating interception attempts cannot be verified as no intercept attempts occurred — the test was conducted in Iranian territory.
