The Fateh-110 ({{langx|fa|فاتح-۱۱۰}} "conqueror"), also known as NP-110,{{cite web|url=https://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/iran/mushak.htm|title=Fateh-110/NP-110/Mushak|website=GlobalSecurity|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190101102858/https://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/iran/mushak.htm|archive-date=1 January 2019}} is an Iranian solid-fueled surface-to-surface ballistic missile produced by Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization since 2002. It is single-stage, road-mobile and can carry a high-explosive warhead of up to 500 kg. Four different versions, the Fateh-110A, 110B, 110D-1 and Fateh-E Mobin were developed with varying accuracy.{{Cite web |title=Fateh-110 |url=https://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/fateh-110/ |access-date=2024-01-11 |website=Missile Threat |language=en-US}} The latest version (Fateh-E Mobin), first shown to the public in August 2018 reportedly has a range of 300 km and is reportedly more accurate than previous versions.{{Cite web |last=Elleman |first=Michael |title=Iran's Missile Priorities after the Nuclear Deal |url=https://www.iiss.org/globalassets/media-library---content--migration/images/comment/analysis/2017/december/6-elleman2125.pdf |website=The International Institute for Strategic Studies}}

The Fateh-110 was reportedly developed from Iran's Zelzal-2 unguided artillery rocket. A version of the Fateh-110 is also license-built in Syria as the M-600. The missile has been used in the Syrian Civil War by Iran and Syria. Its presence in Syria was cited as a reason for the US transferring two Patriot missile defense systems to Turkey in 2012.{{Cite web |last=Starr |first=Barbara |date=2012-12-28 |title=U.S. officials: Syria using more accurate, Iranian-made missiles |url=https://www.cnn.com/2012/12/28/world/meast/syria-missiles/index.html |access-date=2024-01-11 |website=CNN |language=en}} The Fateh-110 was also among the ballistic missiles Iran supplied Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.{{Cite news |title=Exclusive: Iran sends Russia hundreds of ballistic missiles |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/iran-sends-russia-hundreds-ballistic-missiles-sources-say-2024-02-21/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20241215083751/https://www.reuters.com/world/iran-sends-russia-hundreds-ballistic-missiles-sources-say-2024-02-21/ |archive-date=2024-12-15 |access-date=2025-05-20 |work=Reuters |language=en-US}}

Development

After the Iran–Iraq War, Iran found out that it needed an accurate short-range missile, as its Zelzal and Naze'at rockets were unguided rockets and very inaccurate. Thus, 200 Chinese CSS-8 short-range missiles were bought in 1989.{{Cite web |url=http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-Strategic-Weapon-Systems/Tondar-69-CSS-8-Iran.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110712041255/http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-Strategic-Weapon-Systems/Tondar-69-CSS-8-Iran.html|archive-date=12 July 2011 |title=Tondar 69 (CSS-8) (Iran) |publisher=IHS Jane's |access-date=2012-08-09}} But those missiles did not satisfy Iranians because of their short range, relatively light warhead and bulky structure. So a project was assigned to Shahid Bagheri Industries to design and produce a guided short-range missile.

Development began in 1995 and Zelzal 2 was chosen for the basis of the missile. Reportedly Syria also joined the program and produced its version called M-600.{{Cite web |url=http://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/fateh-110/ |title=Fateh A-110 |publisher=MissileThreat.csis.org |access-date=2012-08-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161104081439/http://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/fateh-110/ |archive-date=4 November 2016 |url-status=live }} In 2006 the US Department of the Treasury accused Great Wall Industry, a Chinese corporation and its partners for playing a lead role in the development of the Fateh missile system, as Iran had no previous experience with solid fuelled ballistic missiles.{{cite web|url=https://csis-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/legacy_files/files/publication/141007_Iran_Rocket_Missile_forces.pdf|title=Iran's Rocket and Missile Forces and Strategic Options|author=Anthony H.

Design

The Fateh-110 has three sets of fins. Four at the end of it near the exhaust, four other triangular shaped fins just above them and four small ones in front of missile near the nosecone. Of the three sets of fins on the missile, only the front ones are movable.

File:Fateh-110-parade.jpg

The Fateh-110 is road-mobile. It can be carried by three different transporter-erector-launchers (TELs).{{Cn|date=October 2024}} The first one has a similar mechanism with SA-2 and is based on a Mercedes-Benz 6x6 truck.{{Cn|date=October 2024}} The second TEL is also used by newer versions of Zelzal rockets and again uses the Mercedes-Benz platform. The third one is able to carry two missiles instead of one.

Variants

=First generation=

File:Fateh-110 Missile by YPA.IR 01.jpg

The first generation of the Fateh-110 had a range of 200 km with a CEP of 600 metres. It was flight-tested in September 2002, began mass production shortly thereafter and entered service.{{cite web|url=https://www.china-arms.com/2020/01/iran-missiles-china-hq-2/|title=Iran's US-base-attacking missiles derive from China's HQ-2 missile|website=China Arms|date=10 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200220232146/https://www.china-arms.com/2020/01/iran-missiles-china-hq-2/|archive-date=20 February 2020}}{{cite web |date=21 October 2012 |title=DM Stresses High Precision Targeting Capability of Newly Unveiled Fateh-110 Missiles |url=http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9104254711 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130122182244/http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9104254711 |archive-date=22 January 2013 |access-date=21 October 2012}}

=Second generation=

In September 2004, the second generation Fateh-110B was unveiled, with the range improved to 250 km and the same accuracy of its predecessor. This version appears to be offered for export.{{Cite web |url=http://www.modlex.ir/cgi-bin/store.pl/page=product.html/pid=MXF05-000350 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120917165647/http://www.modlex.ir/cgi-bin/store.pl/page=product.html/pid=MXF05-000350 |url-status=usurped |archive-date=2012-09-17 |title=MXF05-000350 Fateh-110 Surface to Surface Missile |publisher=Modlex |access-date=2012-08-09}}

=Third generation=

In 2010, the third generation Fateh-110 was tested by Iran. Iranian defense minister Ahmad Vahidi stated that accuracy, range, reaction time and storage capability in different parts of the country are increased. After that Iranian TV provided footage of the test and the impact.{{cite web|url=https://www.tabnak.ir/fa/pages/?cid=116337|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100828020551/https://www.tabnak.ir/fa/pages/?cid=116337|url-status=dead|archive-date=2010-08-28|title=آزمایش موفق نسل سوم موشك فاتح 110|language=fa}} Some time later, it was delivered to IRGC.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mehrnews.com/fa/NewsDetail.aspx?NewsID=1155522|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130129111921/http://www.mehrnews.com/fa/NewsDetail.aspx?NewsID=1155522|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-01-29|title=آزمایش نسل جدید موشک فاتح 110بزودی/ تحویل نخستین محموله فاتح به سپاه‎|date=29 January 2013}} The range of the missile was stated as 300 km.{{cite web|url=http://www.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8906311044|title=سردار حاجي‌زاده اعلام كرد: برد نسل سوم موشك فاتح 110 به 300 كيلومتر رسيده است|publisher=Fars News|access-date=13 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141113185603/http://www.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8906311044|archive-date=13 November 2014|url-status=live}}

In August 2012 Iranian state media reported a successful test-firing of its fourth generation Fateh-110. Iranian media reported that its accuracy had been improved.

A Syrian version of the system, called M-600 or Tishreen, is produced in Syria at the SSRC centers.{{Cite web|url=https://www.inss.org.il/publication/syrian-army-2023/|title=Rebuilding the Syrian Military: The Threat to Israel|publisher=INSS Tel Aviv University|date=6 September 2023|access-date=25 November 2023|author=Eden Kaduri, Yehoshua Kalisky, Tal Avraham}} In 2016, the Israeli Military Intelligence reported that Syria had resumed manufacture of the M-600 ballistic missiles, which was stopped after 2012.

=Anti-ship ballistic missile variants=

In 2014, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced two variants of the Fateh-110 which they called the Hormuz-1 and Hormuz-2. The Hormuz-1 was reportedly an anti-radiation missile and the Hormuz-2 was reportedly an anti-ship missile. Analysis by Anthony Cordesman with the Center for Strategic and International Studies suggests that the Hormuz-2 is "essentially the same as the Hormuz-1".{{Cite web |title=Iran's Rocket and Missile Forces and Strategic Options |url=https://csis-website-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/legacy_files/files/publication/141007_Iran_Rocket_Missile_forces.pdf |website=csis-website-prod.s3.amazonaws.com}}

Another anti-ship version with a 700-km range and designated Zolfaghar Basir was announced by the IRGC in September 2020.{{Cite web |title=IRGC announces longer-range anti-ship ballistic missile |date=29 September 2020 |url=https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/irgc-announces-longer-range-anti-ship-ballistic-missile}}File:Zolfaqar in inaugurated the mass production line day 15.jpg

=Zolfaghar=

{{Main|Zolfaghar (missile)}}

The Zolfaghar is an Iranian tactical ballistic missile believed to be based in the Fateh-110 family and the first ballistic missile of any sort openly used by Iran in a foreign conflict. Unlike the other members of the Fateh-110 family, which are often described as quasi-ballistic missiles, the Zolfaghar flies a true ballistic trajectory. The missile's claimed range of 700 km is considered largely true based on the 2017 Deir ez-Zor missile strike; this apparently results from replacing the metal body of the Fateh-110 with composite, saving substantial weight. However, doubts have been raised about its reliability and accuracy, and Jane's assesses that the Zolfaghar's performance is poor.{{Cite web|url=http://www.janes.com/images/assets/061/82061/Proving_grounds_Assessing_Iranian_weapon_performance_in_Syria_and_Yemen.pdf|title=Proving grounds: Assessing Iranian weapon performance in Syria and Yemen|publisher=Jane's Defence Weekly (IHS Markit)|date=2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180815131726/https://www.janes.com/images/assets/061/82061/Proving_grounds_Assessing_Iranian_weapon_performance_in_Syria_and_Yemen.pdf|archive-date=15 August 2018|url-status=live}}

The Zolfaghar (and possibly other members of the Fateh-110 family) are believed to use commercial GNSS systems to improve accuracy. Zolfaghar serial numbers may begin "ZB–".{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/AmirThePersian1/status/1055115746458656768|title=Wreckage of what seems to be a missile has been found near the village of Fakhrabad in Iran's Khorasan Razavi province, 400 km from the Semnan missile test range.|last=Amir|date=24 October 2018}}

=Fateh Mobin=

{{Main|Fateh Mobin}}

In 2018, Iran unveiled the Fateh Mobin guidance kit, an upgrade for Fateh-110 missiles. According to Iranian Defence Minister Amir Hatami, it can be retrofitted to members of the Fateh-110 family up to the Zolfaghar. The Fateh Mobin is believed to be an infrared imaging sensor for terminal guidance.{{cite web|url=https://irangeomil.blogspot.com/2018/08/fateh-mobin-elevates-iranian-precision.html|title=Fateh Mobin Elevates Iranian Precision Ballistic Missile Capabilities|date=13 August 2018|access-date=21 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181221134603/https://irangeomil.blogspot.com/2018/08/fateh-mobin-elevates-iranian-precision.html|archive-date=21 December 2018|url-status=live}}

It was first shown in a military exhibition on August 21, 2020, under the name of Fath. In September 2022, Iran tested the Fath 360 (and its export model called BM-120), the downsized member of the Fateh ballistic missile family.

On 3 and 5 May 2013, Israel said it had hit a shipment of Fateh-110 in Syria that were "destined for Hezbollah". Israel said it would not tolerate "game changing weapons" falling into the hands of Hezbollah.{{cite web|url=http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/05/201354434558135.html|title=Israel confirms airstrike inside Syria.|publisher=Al Jazeera|date=4 May 2013|access-date=6 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130506133559/http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/05/201354434558135.html|archive-date=6 May 2013|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/05/20135514958573633.html|title=Syria warns Israel after 'latest air raids'.|publisher=Al Jazeera|date=6 May 2013|access-date=6 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130506133547/http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/05/20135514958573633.html|archive-date=6 May 2013|url-status=live}} On 18 May Israeli media claimed that the Syrian army had aimed a battery of Tishreen missiles, Syria's version of Iran's Fateh-110, at Tel Aviv according to reconnaissance satellites.

According to two unnamed U.S. military officials, the Syrian Army fired at least two Fateh A-110 missiles in late December 2012. The firing of these missiles appeared to be an effort to more precisely target Syrian rebels.{{Cite news |author=Barbara Starr |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2012/12/28/world/meast/syria-missiles |title=U.S. officials: Syria using more accurate, Iranian-made missiles |publisher=CNN|date=2012-12-28 |access-date=2013-02-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130206092156/http://edition.cnn.com/2012/12/28/world/meast/syria-missiles/ |archive-date=6 February 2013 |url-status=live }}

In late November 2014, Iranian and Lebanese sources confirmed that Hezbollah had received Iranian Fateh-110 guided ballistic missiles and inducted them into their missile arsenal. With a {{convert|250|-|350|km|mi|abbr=on}} range, Fateh-110 missiles fired from Lebanon could hit targets anywhere in Israel up to the northern Negev. Israel has regarded deliveries of such missiles as justification for preemptive response, as the previous year it attacked missile shipments, transport convoys, and storage sites in Syria and Lebanon to prevent these and other missile types from being acquired by Hezbollah.[http://defense-update.com/20141124_fatah110.html#.VH47w8IcQdU Iran: We supplied ballistic guided rockets to Hezbollah] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141127073105/http://defense-update.com/20141124_fatah110.html#.VH47w8IcQdU |date=27 November 2014 }} – Defense-Update.com, 24 November 2014
