MOSCOW, Oct 23 - RIA Novosti. The Iskander-E operational-tactical missile system showed unprecedented accuracy at the shooting of a foreign customer: it hit a missile from a distance of 180 kilometers exactly in the crosshair of a ground target, Bekhan Ozdoev, industrial director of the Rostec State Corporation armament complex, told RIA Novosti.
The target was a square of 30 by 30 meters with elements of old military equipment placed on it.
"The shooting took place on the territory of a foreign customer. The ballistic missile launched by the complex overcame 180 kilometers and hit exactly in the crosshair of the target - this was confirmed by cameras installed around the target. The products of Rostec enterprises have once again proven themselves on an exceptionally positive side," Ozdoev said.
Deputy Head of the Export-import Department of KBM (part of the "High-precision complexes" of Rostec Corporation) Alexander Romanyuk clarified that the customer's generals were present at the shooting, who watched what was happening on the broadcast.
Iskander-E was developed by the Engineering Design Bureau. The combat vehicle is designed to destroy critical enemy targets at ranges slightly less than 300 kilometers. The complex uses 9M723-E ballistic missiles.
