Fateh-110 (Persian: فاتح-۱۱۰, "conqueror") is a single-stage solid-propellant, surface-to-surface missile with at least a 200 km range, and it is produced domestically within Iran, including the solid fuel propellant. The Aerospace Industries Organization is capable of producing many types of liquid and solid propellants. Iran successfully flight tested the final version of the Fateh-110 in September, 2002. Several weeks later in mid-September 2002 the Aerospace Industries Organization opened a plant to mass produce the Fateh-110. The initial range of the missile was 200km but in September 2004 it was announced that it had been extended to 250 km and if needed it could be increased further.
Design
It has three sets of fins. Four in the end of it, four other triangular shaped fins just above them and 4 small ones in front of missile. Some sources claim that of the three sets of fins on the missile, only the front ones are movable.
