The 9K720 Iskander (Russian: «Искандер»; NATO reporting name SS-26 Stone) is a Russian mobile short-range ballistic missile system. It has a range of 500 kilometres (270 nmi; 310 mi). It was intended to replace the OTR-21 Tochka in the Russian military by 2020.

2024年4月23日 · Replacing both the OTR-23 “Oka” and OTR-21 “Tochka-U” SRBMs, the Iskander is a tactical missile system capable of launching ballistic and cruise missiles. 5 The “Iskander” designation is typically used to identify both the launch system and its associated ballistic missiles, the Iskander-M (9M723), exclusive for Russian military use ...

2022年8月8日 · Cruise missiles launched from the Iskander rely on low observability and low-altitude flight paths to evade air and missile defences. By contrast, the 9M723 variants rely on a combination of speed, a quasi-ballistic trajectory and penetration aids.

The 9M723 is a solid fuel, single-stage missile with a head part not separated in flight. The missile is controlled on the entire flight path by means of aerodynamic and gas-dynamic rudders. The flight path of 9M723 is not ballistic but controllable.

2022年3月14日 · As aforementioned, the Iskander-M system is equipped with two 9M723 missiles, which can be targeted independently. Each is equipped with its own warhead, with a payload of 1,500 pounds, and can maneuver in-flight with the use of an inertial and optical guidance system.

"Iskander" (system index 9K720) is a Russian short-range ballistic missile system (SRBM). It includes versions: "Iskander", "Iskander-M", "Iskander-K", "Iskander-E". These systems were developed by the Research and Production Corporation "Machine-Building Design Bureau" (KBM) in Kolomna, Moscow Region.

It has a range of 400-500 km and uses both inertial and optical guidance systems to achieve an accuracy of 10-30 m CEP. It can carry conventional and nuclear warheads up to 700 kg and employs a maneuverable re-entry vehicle (MaRV) and decoys to …

Earlier this month, the Russian Ground Troops took delivery of their ninth brigade set of Iskander-M missiles (NATO designation SS-26 / Stone). The new brigade will deploy east of Yekaterinburg at Yelanskiy in Russia’s Central MD.

The 9M723 Iskander missile is undoubtedly a major threat to the protected facilities. The simulations show that the rocket can take different trajectories to the same target, which significantly hinders the prediction of the flight path.

2025年2月26日 · The 9M723 Iskander-M missile is capable of hitting targets at 500 km with an accuracy of 10 meters, carrying up to 700 kg of combat load. Its hypersonic speed (up to Mach 7), maneuverability and mobile launchers make interception extremely difficult.
