— 🇮🇷/🇾🇪 NEW: Yemen announces it has used its first hypersonic missile 'Hatem 2' against an Israeli ship

Recently, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced they had started domestic production of Iran's 'Kheybar Shekan' MRBM, under the name 'Palestine' (فلسطين).

Those among us with knowledge about Iran's missile program know that there exists an upgraded version of the Kheybar Shekan, namely the Kheybar Shekan-2, which is outfitted with a special cone tip. The Kheybar Shekan-2 is an hypersonic missile.

So, it seems that Iran has not only given Yemen the blueprints and expertise to build the regular Kheybar Shekan, but its most advanced, hypersonic brother: the 'Kheybar Shekan-2', under the Yemeni name 'Hatem-2'.

No Iranian hypersonic missiles were used in its attack on Israel, so the fact that they allow the Yemenis to possess such advanced equipment that even they themselves have not used, speaks volumes about how comitted Iran is to the Axis of Resistance and its allies.
