Developers from Russia have increased the accuracy of ground-to-ground missiles intended for the operational-tactical complexes “Iskander”, which are used for strikes on bridges on the territory of Ukraine. This was written on 14 November by the British newspaper The Telegraph.
The publication of the newspaper states: “The modernized Russian missile split Ukraine in two — the ballistic missile ‘Iskander-M’ with new targeting.”
As the newspaper notes, the new missiles were equipped with optical and radar homing heads. Thanks to this, operators gained the ability to correct the trajectory of the projectile’s flight directly during its movement towards the target.
According to the publication, such a function complicates the ability to determine in advance the true target of the missile, and also helps to mislead air defense systems (ADS).
