Iskander-M (SS-26 "Stone")

the Iskander-M is a short range, solid fuel, theater quasi-ballistic missile system of Russia.

The system is intended to use conventional warheads for the engagement of small and area targets, such as:

hostile fire weapons, missile systems, multiple launch rocket systems, long-range artillery pieces, air and anti-missile defence weapons (especially those located in relatively fixed sites), airfields, command posts and communications nodes, critical civilian infrastructure facilities, and other vital small and area targets.

The missile system ensures:
high probability of fire mission accomplishment in hostile active countermeasures environments,
automatic computation and input of missile flight missions by the launcher devices, high tactical maneuverability and strategic mobility owing to transportability of the system vehicles by all types of transport, long service life and ease of operation.
The Iskander-M system is equipped with a solid-propellant single-stage guided missile 9M723K1 controlled throughout the entire flight path and provided with a nonseparable warhead.

In flight, the missile follows a non-purely-ballistic path, which includes such features as violent maneuvers in the terminal phase of flight and the release of decoys. The missile never leaves the atmosphere as it follows a relatively flat trajectory.

The Iskander-M achieves a degree of accuracy, a range and reliability (ability to penetrate defences) that constitutes an alternative approach to precision bombing for air forces.
