The modernized ballistic missiles of the Russian operational tactical missile system (OTRK) Iskander-M began to maneuver in the final stage of the flight, which significantly complicates the interception by anti-missiles of the American Patriot anti-aircraft missile system (SAM). This was stated by military expert Yuri Ignat.
Unlike cruise missiles, ballistic missiles always have a predictable trajectory. However, in the case of the modernized Iskander, this rule does not work.
"Iskanders" maneuver, making it difficult for Patriot anti-aircraft systems to operate. The air defense system calculates the interception point based on the assumption that the target's trajectory will remain unchanged.
Iskander-M is used to destroy enemy air defense systems, as well as other important objects at a maximum range of up to 500 km.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the newest X-UAV missile for drones will be modernized: combat power will increase.
