Iskander-M mobile theater ballistic missile systems produced and deployed
by the Russian Federation are in Armenia. The Defense Ministry source has
confirmed the information to RFE/RL.
The Russian Iskander-M cruises at hypersonic speed of 2100-2600 m/s (Mach
6-7) at a height of 50 km. The Iskander-M weighs 4615 kg, carries a warhead
of 710-800 kg, has a range of 400-480 km, and achieves a CEP (Circular
error probable) of 5-7 meters. During flight it can maneuver at different
altitudes and trajectories and can pull up to 20 to 30 G to evade
anti-ballistic missiles. For example, in one of the trajectory modes it can
dive at the target at 90 degrees at the rate of 700-800 m/s performing
anti-ABM maneuvers.
