I saw discussions in several places, why the “Iskander” high-precision ballistic missile systems were not shown at the military parade.
Iskander operational tactical missile systems, depending on the model, are capable of penetrating air defenses at a distance of up to 500 km.
Breakthrough of anti-aircraft defense is provided by the high flight trajectory of the missile, active and unpredictable maneuvering when approaching the target.
Let me say at once that there was no other unit equivalent to this system or even close to it at the military parade.
I think there were 2 reasons for this. First, in order to save his own skin, the capitulator has discredited the existence of these systems (exploded by 10%, etc.) and his own “I” would no longer allow the presence of such a valuable system in the parade.
Secondly, the acquisition of these systems was one of the most important and groundbreaking achievements of Serzh Sargsyan’s period (2016), which at that stage had deterrent and preventive significance in military and political terms.
Until now, a minimal number of countries have been able to acquire this system, and its purchase was directly related to Serzh Sargsyan’s personal efforts and consistency.
