Moscow. October 2. INTERFAX-AVN - Calculations of Iskander-M missile systems have worked out the destruction of simulated enemy targets during exercises in the Kaliningrad region, the Baltic Fleet (BF) reported on Saturday.

"As part of the planned training, the rocket men carried out a covert advance to the designated positional area, where, having equipped the launch positions, they performed electronic single and group launches at targets simulating missile launchers, protected facilities and command posts of a conditional enemy," the report says.

It is noted that the missile crews operated in conditions of conditional radiation and chemical contamination of the area, and also repelled the attack of sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the conditional enemy.

"About 100 servicemen were involved in the training events, about 10 units of military and special equipment were involved," the BF reported.

The rearmament of the missile brigade in the Kaliningrad Region from tOchki-U to modern Iskander-M tactical complexes was reported in May 2018.

Iskander-M was developed in the Kolomna Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering (holding "High-precision Complexes"). In the variant for the Russian army, the complex includes two types of missiles: ballistic and cruise. The flight range of the Iskander-M missiles was officially called - up to 500 km. It was reported that the missiles of the complex can carry a nuclear warhead. The complex is in service with missile brigades of the Russian Ground Forces.
