🎬 Amid Rising Tensions In The Middle East, Iran Reveals Newest Destroyer “Deylaman.”

🎬 While the specific weaponry onboard the "Deylaman" was not disclosed, it has led to speculation with regional defense analysts acknowledged the possibility that Iran may equip its latest warship with the hypersonic guided missile "Fattah," capable of reaching Mach 15 speed.

(DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) — In the midst of escalating tensions in the Middle East due to armed conflicts involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Israel, Iran has unveiled its latest warship named “Deylaman.”

This destroyer, belonging to the Mowj-class and designed based on the Iranian Navy’s “Jamaran” destroyer, boasts a total weight of 1,500 tons and is intended to serve in the Caspian Sea.

The “Deylaman” is the fifth destroyer in the Mowj class.

Commander of the Iranian Navy Admiral Shahram Irani stated that the vessel will be equipped with advanced offensive and defensive capabilities to safeguard the country’s interests.

While the specific weaponry onboard the “Deylaman” was not disclosed, it has led to speculation with regional defense analysts acknowledged the possibility that Iran may equip its latest warship with the hypersonic guided missile “Fattah,” capable of reaching Mach 15 speed.

The Iranian hypersonic glide vehicle, categorized as an HGV, is known as the “Fattah.”

In July, Iran announced its intention to arm its then-latest warship, the “Damavand,” with the hypersonic “Fattah” missile, with a range of 1,400 km.

Like the “Deylaman,” the “Damavand” has a total weight of 1,500 tons and is designated for service in the Caspian Sea.

Both the recently launched “Damavand” destroyer and “Deylaman” are products of Iran’s domestic shipbuilding industry.

Iran’s decision to equip the “Damavand” with a hypersonic guided missile enhances Tehran’s military capabilities in facing its arch-rival, Israel and the United States.

According to Iranian media, the “Fattah” missile can achieve speeds of Mach 15, or over 5,000 meters per second, with no advanced air defense systems from the United States or Israel capable of intercepting it.

As of now, the capability to develop hypersonic guided missiles is known to be possessed by the United States, Russia, North Korea, and China.

 An official from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard emphasized that the “Fattah” hypersonic guided missile is immune to interception by other guided missiles due to its unique movement patterns, different altitudes, and high speed.

The introduction of the hypersonic guided missile “Fattah” follows Iran’s ballistic missile launch last month, named “Kheibar.”

Iran’s hypersonic guided missile “Fattah II” is equipped with a Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV).

 

This fourth-generation ballistic guided missile from Iran has a range of 2,000 km and can target locations in Israel.

 It can carry a conventional explosive payload of up to 1,500 kilograms. Iranian military officials assert that “Kheibar” can reach speeds of Mach 15 outside the atmosphere and Mach 8 within the atmosphere.

This development has drawn criticism from Western countries, particularly the United States and its main ally, Israel. — DSA
