According to sources in the Ministry of Defense, the latest stealth missiles have been developed for the Russian Iskander complex, which will radically improve its combat qualities.

The creation of a new missile, with reference to sources in the military department , was reported by Izvestia. The product is extremely difficult to detect, and it can perform complex maneuvers on the trajectory, which further complicates interception. Another feature of the new rocket is its high accuracy. The target range reaches 500 kilometers.

For the first time, the novelty was used in exercises in 2020, and they began to create a rocket in 2016. "Most likely, the new munition is a further development of the 9M723 aeroballistic missile, which has been part of the Iskander-M complex for several years," said military observer Dmitry Kornev.

According to him, to reduce radar visibility, it was necessary to rework the shape of the hull, using new materials. The creators could change the management system: this follows from the statement of supermaneuverability.

Russian rocket scientist Valery Kashin announced information about the development of new missiles for the Iskander-M complex a few years ago. Now the complex can use five different ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles. Applying both at once, you can achieve almost complete impossibility of effective counteraction.

For the first time, the Iskander complex was shown at the International Aviation and Space Salon in 1999. They started producing it in 2006. According to open sources, the Russian Ground Forces are armed with 140 Iskander-M units.

The main purpose of the Iskander complexes is to destroy the enemy's air and missile defense systems, as well as the most important objects that they cover. You can learn more about what the complex is and how it works in our recent article.

According to some sources, Iskanders were used during the War in South Ossetia. It is known that the complex was also used for strikes on the territory of Syria.

A conditional American response to the Russian threat can be called a promising Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) missile system. This is a hypersonic system that, according to recently released information, will be able to hit a target at a range of more than 2,770 kilometers thanks to the hypersonic warhead Common-Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB).
