FATEH-110 | Short-Range Ballistic Missile
فاتح ۱۱۰ | “Conqueror-110”
The Fateh-110 demonstrated that Iran could move beyond Soviet-derived missile designs. It is a fully indigenous, solid-fueled, precision-guided ballistic missile developed in the 1990s and became the foundation for a broader family of Iranian missiles. Systems such as the Zolfaghar, Dezful, and Kheibar Shekan all trace their lineage to the Fateh-110 airframe.
Key specifications:
️Range: 300 km
️Warhead: 500–650 kg HE or submunitions
️Fuel: Solid propellant
️CEP: Estimated 50–100 m depending on variant and guidance package
️Launch platform: Road-mobile TEL, pre-fueled and ready to fire
Submunitions variant
The submunitions configuration is designed for area suppression. The warhead disperses bomblets across a wide footprint, making it effective against airfields, radar installations, parked aircraft, fuel depots, and troop concentrations, where distributed coverage is more effective than a single-point detonation.
Limitations
Its 300 km range limits its strategic reach. This makes it primarily a theater weapon, rather than a system capable of striking Israel directly from Iranian territory. Its effectiveness increases when forward deployed, which aligns with how Iran and allied forces employ the system.
Combat use
The Fateh-110 has seen extensive combat use compared to most other Iranian ballistic missiles.
Variants have been transferred to Hezbollah in Lebanon and used during the Syrian conflict.
In September 2018, the IRGC launched Fateh-110 missiles from Iranian territory into Deir ez-Zor, Syria, targeting a gathering of Kurdish opposition commanders. Iran publicly confirmed the strike and released footage.
The missile was also used alongside the Qiam-1 during the January 2020 strike on the Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq.
Hezbollah’s inventory of Fateh-110 derivatives remains one of Israel’s most persistent military concerns along the northern front.
