The launch of rockets from the MLRS was captured by the Forpost reconnaissance drone. Immediately after that, the Iskander-M unit launched a missile strike on the launcher.

The Iskander-M's ammunition range includes concrete-piercing, high-explosive fragmentation, incendiary, and cluster charges. The missiles are mainly guided to the target via a satellite system, with a homing head operating in the final section.

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

The Ural Civil Aviation Plant (UZGA) presented a new version of the Forpost drone in early 2025, equipped with a radar for monitoring enemy objects and providing target designation.
