Once again with the “hypersonics”: the Iranians don’t have anything hypersonic and your weird fever dreams of a ravaged Israel mark you as a small-minded bigot with delusions of adequacy.

The Shahab-3 has a max speed around M7. Several of their missile (supposedly) reach M5. That's hypersonic.

Apparently, neither one of you know what a hypersonic missile is: it is not a ballistic missile, it is a slant range Mach 5 plus system that operates in the atmosphere. That is why it is still an emerging technology and only Russia has employed them in combat (against civilian, unwarned population centers, as the sporting Russians are well known for) - so far,

The Shahab-3 is a Medium Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM), not a "hypersonic missile".

You two need to sign up, put the uniform on and learn first-hand all about military technologies - before opening your mouths and spouting nonsense.
