In Russia, there have already been reports about the development of the "Iskander" missile with an extended range of up to 1000 km.
The first sample of such weaponry was showcased in the RF in May 2024.
It is known that, besides the claimed increased range, it is reported that the probable deviation from the target is "from 5 meters."
"Iskander-1000" resembles the ballistic missile 9M723 of the "Iskander" operational-tactical missile system.
The mass of the "refined warhead" has not been disclosed by the occupiers; however, it is reported that it employs "an autonomous inertial guidance system, likely with a correction system based on satellite navigation data and possibly with radar guidance using a terrain map in the target area during the final flight phase."
Currently, the most frequently used missiles by the occupiers are the ballistic "Iskander-M" and the cruise "Iskander-K."
The occupiers use these missiles not only against military targets but also against civilian facilities and the peaceful population.
An important distinction between "Iskander-K" and "Iskander-M" is that the former is a cruise missile, while the latter is quazi-ballistic.
The launch weight of the cruise "Iskander" is 2300 kg, whereas the ballistic variant weighs 3800 kg. The warhead weight is 450 kg compared to 480 kg.
The warhead can be cluster, high-explosive, cluster-cumulative, or fragmentation-high explosive.
