The Fateh-110 (Persian: فاتح-۱۱۰ "conqueror"), also known as NP-110[3] is an Iranian solid-fueled surface-to-surface ballistic missile produced by Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization since 2002. It is single-stage, road-mobile and can carry a high-explosive warhead of up to 500 kg. Four different versions, the Fateh-110A, 110B, 110D-1 and Fateh-E Mobin were developed with varying accuracy.[4] The latest version (Fateh-E Mobin), first shown to the public in August 2018[4] reportedly has a range of 300 km is reportedly more accurate than previous versions.[5][4]

The Fateh-110 was reportedly developed from Iran's Zelzal-2 unguided artillery rocket.[1] A version of the Fateh-110 is also license-built in Syria as the M-600. The missile has been used in the Syrian Civil War by Iran and Syria. Its presence in Syria was cited as a reason for the USA transferring two Patriot missile defense systems to Turkey in 2012.[4][6]
