Experimental wheeled launcher Br-1555-1 / polygon mock-up of the launcher (1991) — the development of self-propelled unit prototypes was carried out by TsKB Titan.

The prototype of the two-missile launcher Br-1555-1 was developed on the basis of the BAZ-69501 chassis by 1991. Several drop launches, including salvo two-missile launches, were carried out from the unit at site 4C of the Kapustin Yar RVSN test site in the summer of 1991.

The development of the launcher on the BAZ-69501 chassis was not completed. At the same time, it was initially believed that there was a separate polygon mock-up launcher, but, as it turned out, this is not true.

About the Iskander-M:

The Iskander-M is used to destroy enemy air defense systems, as well as other critical targets at a maximum range of up to 500 km.

At a speed of about 950–1150 m/s, the Iskander-M warhead can penetrate soft ground to a depth of tens of meters. When it hits a building, the missile is capable of penetrating concrete floor slabs and exploding inside the protected room.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russia will have a satellite group for military intelligence and communications.
