To defend against missile threats from Israel and the United States, Russia had earlier supplied Iran with the world-renowned S-400 air defense system. In return, Iran is now furnishing Russia with the Fath 360 ballistic missile. Russian military personnel even traveled to Iran to learn how to operate this advanced missile system.

Russia is set to incorporate Iranian missiles into its arsenal. The Fath 360 is a mobile ballistic missile system with a maximum range of 120 kilometers, equipped with a 150-kilogram warhead designed for precise target engagement, particularly at close range.
The missile weighs a total of 787 kilograms, measures 16.97 feet in length, and has a diameter of 1.20 feet. It can strike targets between 30 kilometers and 120 kilometers away. The warhead is highly explosive, capable of destroying buildings, bunkers, weapon depots, oil reserves, and ports.

The missile's speed ranges from 3704.4 to 4939.3 km/hr, being slower during ascent and faster while descending upon the target. It boasts an accuracy circle of less than 30 meters, meaning even if it deviates 30 meters from the target, it will still achieve its aim. The Fath 360 was first unveiled by Iran on August 21, 2020. It is launched from a truck equipped with canisters containing up to six rounds.
