Russian developers have improved the accuracy of surface–to-surface missiles for Iskander tactical complexes, which are used to strike bridges in Ukraine. This was reported on November 14 by the British newspaper The Telegraph.

"An upgraded Russian missile has split Ukraine in two <...> — the Iskander-M ballistic missile with a new target designation," the publication announced.

The new projectiles were supplemented with optical and radar homing heads. They allow operators to make adjustments to the flight path directly during its course, the newspaper writes.

This feature not only makes it difficult to predict the true target of the missile, but also helps to deceive air defense systems, clarifies "Газета.Ru ".

Portal Advance.hr On October 20, he reported that a prolonged shortage of missiles for the American Patriot air defense systems could become a political verdict for Ukraine. The publication pointed to a gap in the Ukrainian defense, which does not allow fighting Iskanders, Daggers and other ballistic missiles. They reach their targets in a few minutes, and most of the remaining air defense systems in Ukraine do not have sufficient protective characteristics.
