👉 The Saddam Project, officially known as the "Project 747," was a controversial and secretive initiative initiated by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Its primary goal was to develop a hypersonic missile capable of delivering nuclear warheads over long distances, potentially threatening the United States and its allies. The project aimed to create a superweapon that could strike from anywhere on the globe, significantly enhancing Iraq's military capabilities and strategic deterrence. However, due to technical challenges, funding issues, and international sanctions, the project was never fully realized, and it remains a subject of speculation and historical debate regarding its true scope and outcomes.
