MOSCOW, April 19 The Russian Ministry of Defense has published footage of the combat work of crews and the launch of a missile of the operational-tactical complex «Iskander» at the object of the Ukrainian military infrastructure in the course of performing the tasks of a special military operation. The «Iskander» complex refers to high-precision weapons with a firing range of up to 500 kilometers. The missile warhead can destroy almost any target: enemy command posts, equipment columns, air defense systems. The use of the Iskander in a combat situation was told by the personnel of the crew of one of the complexes taking part in the special operation. Ukraine «The machine has been worked out to the smallest detail. For the entire time it has been performing combat missions, it has never failed. It hits the target with an accuracy of two meters,» Vitaly, the commander of the Iskander launch battery, said. The Iskanders have two types of missiles — cruise and ballistic . The first flies at low altitudes, can maneuver and go around the terrain. The second soars into the stratosphere, moves along a clear trajectory and delivers a sudden blow. Both missiles hit with mathematical precision. The coordinates of the targets come from different sources — data from drones, satellites, intelligence work. All information in the form of ciphers and keys to them flow to the headquarters of the missile brigade, and from here, via wired communication, the data is sent to the launcher for launching on newly identified important enemy targets. «After each launch, we change positions, so it is difficult for the enemy to calculate us «, — said the senior mechanic-driver of the Iskander Alexei.
