Ekaterinburg. January 24. INTERFAX-AVN - The Central Military District (CVO) will receive two divisional sets of Iskander-M missile systems in 2022, Commander of the CVO troops Alexander Lapin told reporters.

"The missile troops and artillery of the district will be reinforced with two divisional sets of Iskander-M," Lapin said.

The Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system was developed at the Kolomna Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering (High-Precision Complexes Holding). It was reported that the missiles of the complex can carry a nuclear warhead. In the variant for the Russian army, the complex includes two types of missiles: ballistic and cruise.

In November 2019, the Russian military officially announced that all missile brigades of the Russian Ground Forces had completed rearmament from Tochki-U to Iskander-M complexes.

Iskander-M is designed to destroy small-sized and area targets at a distance of up to 500 km: missile systems and multiple launch rocket systems, long-range artillery, command posts and communication centers, as well as aircraft and helicopters at airfields.

The Central Military District is stationed on the territory of three federal districts and 29 subjects of the Russian Federation. The district includes a number of foreign facilities: the 201st military base in Tajikistan, the joint military base in Kyrgyzstan, as well as units on the territory of Kazakhstan. The headquarters is located in Yekaterinburg.
