“The Great Equalizer” – Russia Develops New Tactical Missiles for Iskander-M System

Greetings,

What Russia is announcing to the world, specifically NATO & especially American war hawks in Europe, is this is the work of your own doings. Your belligerent policy of ABM deployment in Europe near Russia’s borders, trying to destroy the balance of strategic power is what has brought this on.

According to the parameters of the older versions of the Iskander missile system, neither America nor NATO has any kind of defense against this system and cannot compete with it or overcome it in any way. Now with a newer version being put into play soon, this negates any tactical advantage the West may have enjoyed through the deployment of Missile Defense systems in Europe.

All military advisors acknowledge that the “Iskander Missile System” is the great equalizer in Europe. Now it will give Russia an overwhelming tactical advantage over its opponents in Europe and America.

Russia Develops New Tactical Missiles for Iskander-M System
Russia’s defense industry is developing new missile types for the Iskander-M system, the Army’s missile forces chief said on Sunday.

Russia is developing new types of ballistic missiles for the Iskander-M tactical nuclear-capable missile system, the deputy head of Russia’s missile forces Aleksandr Dragovalovsky told radio station Russian News Service.

Dragovalovsky did not specify the exact types of missiles being developed for the system. Konstrukskoye Buro Mashinostroyeniya, the design bureau behind the Iskander, said in a press release this week that the system currently has four types of ballistic missiles and one cruise missile.

“This system, the Iskander-M, has a great potential for modernization, which is happening in terms of armaments and missiles in particular. That is, the standard array of missiles is growing and new missiles are being developed,” Drugalovsky said.
Russia’s military conducted its first nighttime test of the Iskander-M on Thursday.
The missile force chief added that the base chassis is also being made more reliable, and should remain in service for the relatively long term. Drugalovky also said that 9K98 Smerch multiple rocket launcher and its modernized version, the Tornado-S, would receive guided missiles. The 9K98 system currently has a range of up to 120 kilometers.

The Iskander-M is a rapid-deployment tactical system designed for eliminating targets at a range of up to 500 kilometers. It is intended for small-scale targets such as missile systems, multiple rocket launchers, long-range artillery, airfields and command posts.
