Russia has modernized its Iskander ballistic missiles, which are now capable of hitting targets with an accuracy of a few meters and changing their trajectory in the final phase of flight. These missiles are used to attack bridges in Kiev, the "Telegraph" writes.
According to the publication, the Russian army equipped the Iskander missiles with optical heads and new radars, which allow the missiles to adjust their trajectory a few seconds before hitting the target.
New warheads scan the area immediately before hitting the target, allowing missiles to bypass Ukrainian electronic warfare systems.
As the Telegraph points out, attacks on bridges are only part of a larger Russian strategy. The Russians, according to the newspaper, also want to achieve "islandization" of the Ukrainian energy system - dividing one grid into isolated segments that will not be able to transmit electricity to each other.
The situation is particularly difficult on the left bank of Kyiv, where some residents only receive electricity for two hours a day and are sometimes left without heating or water. But as the Telegraph writes, such a strategy should complicate the work of Ukrainian industry, including the military.
