The Russian army has acquired a new Iskander-M guided missile system. The ceremonial handover of the missile launcher and equipment took place at the Kapustin Yar range in Astrakhan Region. Reporting, Maxim Sherbakov. One of the most threatening combat units in the world. Today, the missile system Iskander-M was deployed at Kapustin Yar range in the Astrakhan Region. The system consists of more than 50 self-propelled guns as well as auxiliary materiel.
Mikhail Matveyevsky, Missile Forces and Artillery: "Our rocket brigades are acquiring a set of guns and materiel that form the missile system. It includes everything — from the means of target destruction to the control facilities. As I've already said, all the elements of the system are supplied in a single set".
Ingress, stationing, and preparation for the launch. Of course, there was no firing practice. Iskanders never fire without a good reason.
Valery Kashev, chief designer: "The system provides a high degree of accuracy, it can launch missiles in any condition while maintaining the strategical approach. And is capable of performing its tasks very effectively. The existing counter-weapons are incapable of showing substantial resistance".
The tactical operational missile complex is assigned to the Missile Forces' training center. Its staff will be stationed at Kapustin Yar range until March. Afterward, it will get on the road for deployment in the Western Military District.
