Iran Deploys Hypersonic Glide Vehicle and MIRV Warhead Against Israel for the First Time
Thursday, 26 June 2025 () Iran used a ballistic missile equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle and a multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) warhead against Israel for the first time, Military Watch Magazine said. Following the outbreak of open hostilities with Israel on June 13, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) began launching increasingly powerful missile strikes at a range of Israeli targets. Over the course of 11 days, both sides intensified their attacks on each other's military assets and critical infrastructure. On June 23, during the 21st wave of Iranian strikes, the IRGC deployed a ballistic missile with multiple warheads for the first time in combat against Israel-marking a significant escalation in the conflict. Just days earlier, on June 18, Iran's Fattah ballistic missile, armed with a hypersonic glide vehicle, was used in combat conditions for the first time. Traveling at speeds of Mach 13-15, the Fattah is nearly impossible to intercept using conventional air defense systems, posing a major challenge to Israel's missile shield. However, missiles equipped with multiple warheads present an even greater strategic threat: they can strike several targets with a single launch and rapidly deplete the limited resources of Israel's air defense systems.
