    They mention the two cruise missile weapons, but claim they both have 480kg warheads, which sounds rather unlikely unless they have very fuel inefficient jet engines because cruise missiles that size and weight can normally fly rather a lot further than 500km.

    My understanding was that the new cruise missile model had a 1 ton HE warhead replacing fuel with HE and limiting the range to 500km, but no mention of that in this article...

    General Director of the Research and Production Corporation "Engineering Design Bureau" (KMB) Sergey Pitikov on August 16 during the forum" Army-2023 " announced an increase in the production of missiles for the Iskander complex since the beginning of the special military operation.

    "Deliveries have increased several times," he said, pointing to the 9M723-1K5 operational-tactical missiles.

    During the forum, it became known that the Ministry of Defense buys missiles for Iskander . The corresponding state contract was presented to Pitikov by the head of the Main Armament Department of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Anatoly Gulyaev.
