Moscow. July 12. INTERFAX - The Baltic Fleet of Russia reported on the training in the Kaliningrad region of calculations of operational-tactical complexes "Iskander" with the application of conditional missile strikes.

"More than 100 servicemen were involved in the exercise, about 20 units of military and special equipment were involved," the press service of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Federation said in a statement.

"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, airfields, protected facilities, a cluster of military equipment and command posts of a conditional enemy," the fleet said.

"After performing electronic launches in order to get out from under a possible retaliatory strike, the servicemen carried out a maneuver to change the positional area," the press service reported.

The Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system was developed at the Kolomna Machine-building Design Bureau (High-Precision Complexes Holding, Rostec State Corporation). 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. The flight range of the Iskander-M missiles was officially called - up to 500 km.

On August 2, 2019, the United States officially terminated its participation in the Intermediate-range and Shorter-Range Missiles Treaty (INF Treaty). Before that, the United States accused Russia of violating the treaty. Washington had claims to the range of the Russian 9M729 cruise missile of the Iskander-M complex. Moscow has repeatedly stressed that the range of Iskander missiles did not violate the INF Treaty.
