Modernized Russian missiles of the operational tactical missile system (OTRK) Iskander significantly reduce the effectiveness of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM).
Ammunition of the domestic installation received improved maneuvering characteristics, due to which the effectiveness of Patriot significantly decreased.
A striking example was the incident in June, when the Patriot unit was able to intercept only one of the seven launched ballistic missiles, with an efficiency of about 15%.
The ability of Russian missiles to maneuver on the flight path significantly complicates the operation of air defense systems.
Basically, Iskander-M is used by the military to destroy enemy air defense systems directly, as well as the most important objects at a maximum range of up to 500 km.
