❗️During a recent strike on Ukraine, Russia used modernized Iskander-1000 ballistic missiles for the first time, — Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR)
They are noticeably more dangerous than standard Iskander-M:
▪️first, because of upgraded air-defense penetration measures: module 9B-899 ejects decoys and creates additional load on SAM radars;
▪️second, because of increased range. According to the HUR, the range is up to 550 km versus 390 km for a standard Iskander. At the same time, according to Russian statements, the range of such a missile is up to 1000 km.
If the Russian figures are confirmed, this would mean that Iskander-1000 missiles could strike targets across the entire territory of Ukraine.
