Iran's Fattah Missile or Turkey's Tayfun Block, Which One Is More Efficient?

TEHRAN (Defapress) - Ballistic hypersonic missiles are part of the defensive power of countries that have chosen the strategy of asymmetric warfare to confront their enemies. Some countries in the world have developed their defensive power based on the strategy of "asymmetric warfare," and this has led them to move towards developing ballistic missiles and drones.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has focused its offensive military power on asymmetric warfare and the strategy of strengthening missile units, which has caused ballistic missiles to be a special priority in the development of Iran's defensive power.

With the development of missile defense systems by hostile regimes such as the United States and the Zionist regime, Iran began to think about building ballistic missiles with 2-ton warheads and speeds exceeding Mach 8 (each Mach is equivalent to 1225 km/h).

The development of the "Fattah" and "Qassem Basir" hypersonic missiles, which can be confidently said to have the capability to penetrate all existing missile defense systems in the region, is one of the data-x-items that was specifically placed on the agenda of Iran's defense industries, and these missiles proved themselves in missile operations against the Zionist enemy.

The Fattah missile is Iran's most important hypersonic missile, which can destroy targets from a distance of over 1,400 km at very high speeds; this was used in the True Promise 2 operation against the Zionist regime in October 2024.

The performance of the Fattah missile in combat conditions has been extraordinary, and the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have utilized it well in the war against the Zionist enemy; this missile successfully changed the equations of the battle in Iran's favor.

The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran also used the Fattah missile effectively against the Zionist enemy during the 12-day imposed war.

In this regard, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says: The first-generation Fattah missiles marked the beginning of the end of the Zionist army's legendary defense and showed the confusion of the Zionists in defending the occupied territories.

The powerful and maneuverable Fattah missiles, during the 12-day war, repeatedly shook the shelter of the cowardly Zionists by penetrating the missile defense shield and sent the message of Iran's power to the warmongering ally in Tel Aviv, who is lost in fantasies and delusions.

The missile attack with the Fattah showed that Iran had gained dominance over the skies of the occupied territories during the 12-day war, and its inhabitants were completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks. For example, another center that was completely destroyed by Iran's attack during the 12-day war was the Weizmann Institute; this institute was hit by Fattah missiles, and according to the Zionists, the result of decades of their research and laboratory data went up in smoke in an instant.

On a social network, a Zionist user stated that during the war with Iran, the Iranians hit wherever they wished; this admission by the Zionist settler shows that the Fattah missiles performed extraordinarily in the war.

The Fattah hypersonic missile has a range of 1,400 km and, with a speed equivalent to Mach 13 (16,000 km/h), is capable of penetrating all missile defense systems of the Zionist regime and its allies. This missile possesses increasing hit accuracy, very high speed, exceptional maneuverability, stealth capability, and the ability to penetrate radar systems. The use of solid fuel and an explosive conical warhead is another feature of the Fattah hypersonic missile.

But after the 12-day war and the brilliant performance of the Fattah missile in the retaliatory operations of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran against the Zionist enemy, some countries in the region have also begun to think about expanding speed-focused ballistic missiles. One of the countries that has taken action in this field is Turkey.

The Turkish army, considering the war conditions in the West Asia region and the possibility of military action by the Zionist regime against this country, has begun to think about building hypersonic missiles to be able to defend itself in case of action by the Zionist air force.

The Turkish air force, after the air force of the Zionist regime, is the strongest in the West Asia region, and this country has dozens of squadrons of advanced fighter jets, including the F-16.

But given the proximity of the occupied territories to Turkey and considering the likely imminence of a limited or extensive war between the army of the Zionist regime and Turkey, this country has begun to think about building its first hypersonic missile.

Turkey recently unveiled the "Tayfun Block 4" hypersonic missile, while according to media reports, its range is about 1000 km, and the total weight of the Tayfun missile is about 7,200 kg.

Not much information is available about the speed of the Tayfun hypersonic missile, but according to the manufacturer RocketSan, this missile can destroy various targets in the destination territory with high power.

But the question that arises is, which is more effective, the "Fattah" missile or the emerging "Tayfun Block 4" missile? Let's examine effectiveness based on logical arguments. We see that the "Fattah" missile has demonstrated its capabilities against the Zionist enemy in real combat conditions in two operations, "True Promise 2 and 3"; however, the "Tayfun Block 4" missile has not been fired in any battlefield so far.

The Tayfun missile may have shown high accuracy in military exercises, but it has not yet faced combat conditions, and no hits from this missile have been reported; but in contrast, the Fattah hypersonic missile has demonstrated its power in at least two operations and has hit strategic centers and military bases in the occupied territories with unparalleled speed and accuracy.
