The power of the Iskanders tactical ballistic missile

On August 9, AVP reported that recent Russian attacks on the Poltava region (Ukraine), especially the Mirgorod airport, have caused serious destruction. Columns of smoke tens of meters high were recorded after precise strikes by Iskanders missiles.

According to preliminary data obtained by AVP, about five missiles were used in the latest attack. Mirgorod airport has been the target of attacks several times. This highlights its importance in Ukraine's military infrastructure.

The attacks on the Mirgorod airfield caused serious damage to the logistics and rapid mobility of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Damage to runways and hangars, destroyed equipment and machinery - all this significantly reduced the combat effectiveness and efficiency of the Ukrainian army in this area. In addition, attacks on such important infrastructure put additional pressure on the Ukrainian leadership, requiring a redistribution of resources to restore the infrastructure.

The Iskander tactical ballistic missile system is a powerful weapon with high precision and destructive power of the Russian army. In military operations, Iskander missiles are used to attack important infrastructure and cause heavy damage to the enemy. The high mobility and stealth of Iskander make them an effective means to complete assigned tasks quickly and accurately.

In the case of the Poltava region and the Mirgorod airport, the use of Iskander missiles is aimed at weakening Ukraine's military capabilities and creating a strategic advantage for Russia.
