Fateh-313 (Persian: فاتح-313, "Conqueror-313"), an Iranian solid-fuel short-range ballistic missile, was unveiled on 21 August 2015. It is almost identical to the previous generation, the Fateh-110, but reportedly utilizes a new composite fuel and body. Iran’s Defense Ministry plans to mass produce the missile.

Design

Fateh-313 Missile

The Fateh-313 missile is 8756mm in length and 612mm in diameter.[citation needed] It reportedly utilizes a new composite fuel and body, which may have increased the range to 450–500 km, from the Fateh-110's 300 km.

Based on battle damage analysis of the January 2020 attack on American military bases, Iran Watch estimates that the circular error probable is 10-30m. The Economist reported a CEP of 10m for some of the missiles involved in the attack; Qiam 1 missiles were also used.

History

Fateh-313 missiles were launched by the Iranians against US positions in Iraq in January 2020 in retaliation for the assassination of Qassem Soleimani.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an informal network of Iranian-backed Shia Islamist factions, claims to operate a missile called the Aqsa-1, which per Institute for Study of War bears visual similarities to the Fateh-313.
