Hypersonic missile 'Fattah-1'
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
:
[ColonelCassad] Iran has released a video of a new solid-fuel hypersonic missile, Fattah-1, used at night, which hit a target in the center of Tel Aviv at night. The missile is said to have a speed of Mach 13-15 and can maneuver both in the atmosphere and beyond it due to its movable nozzle. It took less than five minutes to cover the 1,400 kilometers from the launch area to Tel Aviv.

Twelve launched anti-missiles were unable to stop it.

Below is a video of the missile landing in Tel Aviv at night (Iran claims the missile hit the Israeli Defense Ministry building).



If Iran had nuclear weapons, installing nuclear warheads on such missiles would fundamentally change the entire balance of power in the region.

So far, Iran has only demonstrated the presence of an effective means of delivering nuclear warheads. But without the warheads themselves, the value of such a missile is obviously not complete.

It also remains unknown how many such missiles Iran has, what is the speed and cost of their production. But we will probably find out in the course of further military actions.

For now, the exchange of blows continues.

#1 It's nice of Russian to provide emotional support for their allies - as long as that's all they do.

#2 If a gang of hoodlums broke in to the homd of Bannon or Massie or Tucker

and kidnapped wives, children, other family, friends,

they'd remain at home watching one another on tv.

Whh?

Because the hoodlums said it would be worss -- "It will be WAR" -- if any attempt is made to rescue yhose captured.

-- or if any attempt is made to prevrnt future attacks.

This is what passes for Thoughtful Conservative Sophistication in 2025.

.......

Perhaps our time might be better spent accepting the reality that a people-who-hate-us are taking over the country, the culture, and they do not intend to stop.

#3 @2 The very elucidating Terry Jones / Koran Trial affair of 2010 demonstrated that a stratum of nominally conservative libertarian isolationists prioritize submission to Islamic orthodoxy over civil liberties and isolationism.

Mark Levin e.g. calls them isolationists but paradoxically these political pundits are comfortable with alien tyranny influencing Western and US political processes.
