9M7 Iskander series
A series of Russian-designed short-range ballistic missiles which forms part of the 9K720 Iskander system. Fired from a mobile launcher, the single-stage missile has an effective range of up to 500 km and can attempt to evade air defences by performing evasive maneuvers during its terminal phase of flight. It uses inertial navigation, GPS/GLONASS, and optical terrain contour matching to strike a target. The missile can carry one of several warheads: high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG), cluster munition, fuel-air explosive, or penetrating HE. The system is also nuclear-capable. It has seen use in various conflicts, including the Syrian Civil War, the 2020 Nagorno–Karabakh War, and the ongoing Russian war in Ukraine.
