The Russian military industry is close to starting serial production of the newest operational-tactical missile system (OTRK), which does not yet have an official name, but is known as the Iskander-1000. This was reported by the American magazine Military Watch Magazine.
The complex is a deeply modernized Iskander-M and will be able to hit targets at a distance of up to 1000 km by using a new engine and increasing the fuel supply, which is twice the current range of ballistic missiles.
The modernized Iskander will become an intermediate link between the existing models of wheeled OTRK and the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile, the journalists noted.
The Iskander-M is widely used by Russian troops due to its combination of high mobility, high accuracy, a variety of warhead types, and a complex trajectory that is difficult to intercept, making it a valuable asset.
The Iskander-M is equipped with two main types of missiles: the 9M723 quasi-ballistic missile with the ability to control the entire flight path and electronic warfare modules for jamming, as well as the R-500 cruise missile, capable of automatically bypassing the terrain.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Saudi Arabia is interested in the Russian Pantsir-S1M SAM system.
