The Iskander missile system is designed to destroy high-value targets at ranges of up to 500 km. It can carry a 480-kg payload and offers various warhead options depending on the mission. Traveling at speeds of around Mach 6, it is difficult to intercept and is suited for time-sensitive operations. | The Iskander missile system is designed to destroy high-value targets at ranges of up to 500 km.
