In Russia, the warhead of the R-500 (9M728) cruise missiles (CR) for the Iskander-K operational-tactical missile system (OTRK) has been modernized.
According to information published online, the 450 kg CR warhead received a set of new contact detonation sensors, which increases the probability of detonation of the warhead under any conditions.
A similar scheme is already used on Kh-101 air-launched cruise missiles. The 9M728 missile warheads previously did not have contact target sensors.
This means that the warhead does not detonate upon contact with any surface, but the detonation command is issued automatically when pre-programmed parameters are reached.
Iskander-M is a Russian OTRK designed to destroy enemy missile defense and air defense systems, as well as critical military facilities at a maximum range of up to 500 km.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Lun missile ekranoplan will be restored in Dagestan.
