Russia has reportedly used the upgraded 9M723-2 ballistic missile, informally known as the Iskander-1000, in combat for the first time during a strike on Kyiv, according to Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR).
The development could mark a significant evolution of Russia’s Iskander missile arsenal. HUR estimates the upgraded missile has a range of around 550 kilometers, compared with roughly 390 kilometers for the baseline Iskander-M variant.
The longer range could allow Russian forces to launch from deeper positions while still threatening targets across Ukraine. The missile’s maneuvering flight profile also makes interception challenging.
In this video, we break down the Iskander-1000’s first reported combat use, its increased range, Russia’s evolving missile capabilities, the role of foreign components in the missile supply chain, and what the development could mean for Ukraine, Europe and the United States.
We also examine why Russia’s continued missile production is raising concerns in Washington and European capitals — and whether Western sanctions are successfully limiting Moscow’s ability to develop advanced weapons.
