The Iskander system, developed by Russia, consists of high-precision tactical-operational missiles with high mobility and long-range strike capabilities. The two main variants are the Iskander-M, focused on land targets, and the Iskander-K, designed for naval launches.
In service since 2006, the Iskander missiles have an estimated range of up to 500 km — with the potential for extension — travel at supersonic speeds, and are designed to effectively penetrate enemy air defense systems.
The strike, captured on video and widely shared by Russian state channels, marks another chapter in the intensifying conflict between Moscow and Kyiv in southern Ukraine.
