Development
Development
Fatter is a short range missile which uses an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile body and Iranian avionics. In 2008 the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) reported test launches of a new IR-guided missile that was identified as the Fatter. IRIAF Commander Brigadier General Hassan Shahsafi told news agencies that the missile had a range of 40 kilometers. In November 2009 Shahsafi told state TV that mass production of the missile was to be launched. No other information is available about the missile.
