Questions remain only about accuracy. At the moment, everything further than 500-550 km will fly with a deviation of 5-10 meters.

Iskander-M is a Russian tactical missile system designed to destroy enemy air defense and missile defense systems, as well as critical facilities covered by them. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the maximum range of the system is 500 km.

The complex is equipped with two main types of missiles: the R-500 cruise missile, capable of automatically following the terrain, and the 9M723 quasi-ballistic missile with electronic warfare modules for jamming and the ability to control the entire flight path.

Earlier www1.ru reported that an improved BTR-82A with enhanced armor protection has been developed in Russia. The vehicle is armed with a 2A72 30 mm cannon and can withstand hits from B-32 armor-piercing bullets.
