Iskander systems

Iskander is a family of Russian short-range, mobile ballistic and cruise missile systems developed by the Kolomna-based Machine-Building Design Bureau (KBM). The system entered service with the Russian armed forces in 2006 and is produced in two principal variants: Iskander-M, firing 9M729 ballistic missiles, and Iskander-K, firing cruise missiles. Designed to strike ground targets at ranges of several hundred kilometres, the Iskander forms a core element of Russia's ground-based missile forces and has been widely used during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
