Adopted by the Russian Army in 2006, the 9K720 Iskander is a mobile short-range ballistic missile system equipped with two solid-propellant single stage guided hypersonic missiles with a range of 500 km. Each missiles, which is controlled throughout the flight path and can be fitted with several different conventional warheads, had a circular error probable of 5-7 meters. The missile can also carry nuclear warheads. The missile is able to perform evasive manoeuvres in the terminal phase of flight and can release decoys in order to penetrate missile defense systems. The system can also been equipped with R-500 cruise missile. The Iskander has been used extensively since the start of the conflict in Ukraine.
The kit is from Zvezda and has no particular complications. It offers a good representation of this terrible combat system. I just added the supports for camouflage nets at the front of the vehicle, very present on the vehicles used in the conflict in Ukraine.
