Russia’s Rostec State Corporation has increased the production of tactical ballistic missiles for 9K720 Iskander systems, Rostec First Deputy Director General Vladimir Artyakov revealed in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel on December 19.
The decision to increase production is apparently meant to support the ongoing Russian special military operation in Ukraine.
“High-precision systems are working effectively, destroying infrastructure on that territory. It is about our famous Iskander system. It is effective enough and works coherently, with a high degree of accuracy and reliability. It must be said here that we are significantly increasing [the production] of launchers and munitions,” Artyakov said.
The Iskander system can launch a variety of ballistic and cruise missiles. Artyakov was most likely talking about the main armament of the system, the 9M723 quasi-ballistic missile that has a range of nearly 500 kilometers.
The 9M723 has several different conventional warheads, including a cluster munitions warhead, a fuel–air explosive enhanced-blast warhead, a high-explosive fragmentation warhead, an earth penetrator for bunker busting and an electromagnetic pulse device for anti-radar missions. The missile can also carry nuclear warheads.
The maneuverable missile is guided by a GLONASS-aided inertial navigation system. It can be also equipped with an optical seeker with a digitized scene-mapping area correlator system for terminal guidance.
The Russian military has been using the Iskander missile system to hit high-value military targets, like gatherings of manpower and equipment, deep in Ukraine’s territory since the beginning of its special military operation with much success.
Iran is also increasing their production of their dreaded Dorito drones and the soon to debut ballistic missiles.
Everything we produce is highly precise, for example, high precision toilet papers.
