Ukrainian Armed Forces Strike Iskander Missile Launcher, Zelenskyy Says
Ukraine’s General Staff said the strikes were part of a broader campaign against Russian military infrastructure and missile systems.
- On October 30, the General Staff reported that Ukraine struck a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile system in the Kursk region.
- The Iskander-M is a mobile short-range ballistic missile system designed to hit high-value targets; Ukraine's intensified hunt for Russian missile systems has reportedly forced Moscow to move some launchers roughly twice as far from the border.
- Upgraded modifications increase the Iskander-M's maximum range to roughly 550 kilometers, compared with around 390 kilometers for earlier versions, including a larger rocket motor and enlarged launcher.
- The General Staff stressed that every Iskander-M launcher destroyed reduces the Russian military's capacity to conduct ballistic missile attacks, with this strike part of a broader series against Russian infrastructure.
- Previously, the Ukrainian Navy reported striking two Russian Su-34s at the 'Marinovka' airfield in the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation using the coastal 'Neptune' missile system.
