The power of just one Iskander-M complex missile with a special warhead is about 50 kilotons. This was reported by military expert Yuri Knutov.
He drew attention to the exercises held in Belarus involving Iskander-M complexes. Such maneuvers took place in the territory of the neighboring republic for the first time.
The special munition for "Iskander" belongs to tactical nuclear weapons. Its power, according to open sources, is about 50 kilotons. Let me remind you that the US dropped a 20-kiloton bomb on Hiroshima. So such a special munition, if used, can cause serious damage.
Before this, it became known that Iskander missiles are now capable of flying up to 800 km instead of the 500 km stated in the technical passport. Such characteristics bring the OTRK closer to the Kinzhal air-launched complex.
In addition, after modernization, Iskander-M missiles have become practically invulnerable even to the Patriot air defense system.
We emphasize that there are no official data on the power of the Iskander-M nuclear warhead in kilotons. The exact characteristics of tactical nuclear weapons are classified.
