Iran unveiled its Fattah-2 hypersonic missile during a visit by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Aerospace Force (IRGCAF) museum in Tehran on 19 November.

Media coverage of the event showed the Fattah-2 consists of a ballistic missile motor that looks similar to the one used to power the Fattah missile that was unveiled in June and a re-entry vehicle (RV) that looks like it was inspired by Boeing's X-51 Waverider experimental hypersonic cruise missile, albeit without an air intake for a scramjet engine.

A cutaway model of the Fattah-2 RV shown to Khamenei had two tanks, one larger than the other, such as those used to hold the fuel and oxidiser in liquid-propellant ballistic missiles.
