Iran has unveiled a missile that is superior to the Zircon and Dagger in terms of its characteristics
Iranian authorities announced the testing of the country’s first ever hypersonic missile. Information about its development was first made public last fall;
According to Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who is the commander of the IRGC’s Strategic Missile Forces, the missile will be presented to the general public next month; It is capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 15. During the flight in the atmosphere and space, the rocket actively maneuvers. As a result, it can break through any air defense system.
As you know, in addition to Russia, Iran and the DPRK like to boast of having a “Wunderwaffe.” In any case, the technical characteristics announced by the IRGC VKS commander indicate that the new Iranian missile is superior to the Russian Zircon and Kinzhal.
The declared flight speed of the Zircon is Mach 9, while the Kinzhal is Mach 12. The Iranian rocket is capable of going into space. This means that it can reach an altitude of 100 km. Russian missiles are not capable of this. Thus, Iran, which has been under sanctions for decades, has managed to outmaneuver Russia at least in terms of verbiage.
