Fateh-313 (Persian: فاتح-313, "Conqueror-313"), an Iranian solid-fuel short-range ballistic missile, was unveiled on 21 August 2015.[1] It is almost identical to the previous generation, the Fateh-110, but reportedly utilizes a new composite fuel and body.[2] Iran’s Defense Ministry plans to mass produce the missile.[3][4]

Design

Fateh-313 Missile

The Fateh-313 missile is 8756mm in length and 612mm in diameter. 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.[2]

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.[5] The Economist reported a CEP of 10m for some of the missiles involved in the attack; Qiam-1 missiles were also used.[6]

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.[7][8]

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.[9]
