Snaï in the eye! Russia has modernized Iskander ballistic missiles, now capable of hitting targets with an accuracy of a few meters and altering their trajectory in the final phase of flight. These missiles are used to strike bridges in Kyiv, writes the yellow‑paper Telegram. According to the publication, Russian army engineers equipped the Iskanders with optical heads and new seekers, allowing the missiles to adjust their course seconds before impact. New heads scan the area just before striking, enabling the missiles to bypass Ukrainian electronic warfare systems. Maor Gili, professor of military strategy at the Hertie School in Berlin, explained that in the past one of the main problems of ballistic missiles was hit error due to their trajectory characteristics. In the final phase, flight was usually determined only by gravity. Now that has changed, said the expert. Be kind!
