Iran published a video of the launch of the Shahed-171 UAV. And drone production in Iran. The Shahed-171 reconnaissance UAV was first shown in 2014. Presumably the body of the Shahed-171 drone is made of fiberglass, using stealth technology based on the American RQ-170 Sentinel UAV. The body of the Shahed-171 drone uses little radio-reflective materials; its surface, like that of the American B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, does not have rectangular protrusions. The Shahed-171 UAV is the first Iranian drone with a turbojet engine. The Shahed 171 drone has a take-off weight of up to 3070 kg and a maximum UAV flight range of up to 4400 km, at an altitude of up to 10900 meters. The drone's flight speed is up to 460 km/h. The drones are armed with Qaem adjustable bombs.
Iran has released footage of the launch and impact of the Fath hypersonic missile. The Iranian two-stage solid-propellant medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile "Fath" was developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and was first shown in 2023. The missile is capable of delivering a warhead weighing up to 450 kg to a range of up to 1,400 kilometers. The "Fath" high-precision missile, due to its second-stage solid fuel engine, is capable of maneuvering in the atmosphere and beyond at speeds of up to 18,000 km/h to overcome the air defense position areas of a potential enemy.
The new Iranian destroyer Deylaman has officially joined the Iranian Caspian Fleet. A new destroyer of the modified Moudge project was built to replace the frigate Damavand, which in 2018 hit rocks and broke in half. The Iranian corvette Deylaman, a destroyer according to Iran's classification, is now the most advanced ship of the Jamaran class series of ships, the ship's displacement is 1,500 tons. The destroyer's hull is built using low radar signature technology. The Deylaman destroyer is equipped with a modern all-round radar with an Eagle Eye phased array antenna, capable of detecting targets at a range of up to 200 kilometers. The ship was built according to a modified design and its exact characteristics are still unknown. The destroyer is equipped with a 76 mm Fajr-27 gun and Qadir cruise missiles with a range of 200 km. In the future, the ship will be equipped with a Nawab short-range air defense system and a Sayyad air defense system. The destroyer's helipad has an increased area. The Deylaman destroyer has four engines with four separate rows of shafts and propellers, which is necessary for greater mobility and maneuverability in the Caspian Sea. The ship can reach a maximum speed of 26 knots.
Video footage of an Iranian UAV of a US Navy carrier strike group entering the waters of the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz has been published. The model of the Iranian drone has not been reported. The carrier group is led by the US aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), the destroyer USS Gravelli (DDG 107) and the destroyer USS Stethem (DDG 63), the cruiser USS San Jacinto (CG-56) and the French frigate FS Languedoc (D-653) . The group was accompanied by MH-60R “Seahawk” and MH-60S “Knighthawk” helicopters. Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said the drone ignored multiple warnings, an action the US military considers unsafe and unprofessional.

isnt that the case with every moden ballistic missile? warheads on the way down are always in hypersonic speed.
