Overview

The Fateh-110 is a guided Iranian short-range ballistic missile developed from the unguided Zelzal-2 line. It combines a road-mobile launcher with solid-propellant readiness, a range of approximately 200 to 300 km, and a payload of roughly 500 kg. The missile is operated within Iran's broader ballistic-missile force, whose development and employment are closely associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, as described by Iran Watch.

“Fateh” also identifies a wider missile family. The baseline Fateh-110 should therefore be distinguished from later and generally more capable descendants, including the Fateh-313, Zolfaghar, Fateh-e Mobin, and anti-ship derivatives. Open-source reporting does not always maintain this distinction, particularly when discussing transfers or combat use.
