The Russian-made iskander system consists of high precision tactical missiles with high mobility and the ability to attack long distances. The two main variants are Iskander-M, which is focused on land targets, and iskander-K, which is designed for sea launch.
Operating since 2006, Iskander missiles have a range of up to 500 km – with the possibility of extension -, flying at supersonic speeds and is designed to penetrate the enemy air defense system effectively.
This action, which was recorded in the video and was widely disseminated in the Russian government channels, became a new chapter in increasing the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv in the southern region of Ukraine.
