The pace of production of Iskander, Caliber and Kh-101 missiles in Russia does not allow the Russian army to deliver such frequent massive strikes on Ukraine, as planned by the command in Moscow. This was stated by the press secretary of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuri Ignat.

“There is no correlation between the use of these missiles and their production in factories, so the number of possible missile strikes is decreasing,” Ignat said..

The Russian edition of the BBC, citing a statement by the press secretary, recalled that military experts had previously suggested that the pace of military production in Russia could slow down due to Western sanctions imposed against Moscow..

The latest Russian military equipment uses more than 450 imported components. They were imported from the USA and European countries, as well as from Japan, Taiwan and South Korea..

The Iskander system is designed primarily to destroy significant enemy ground targets located in the operational-tactical zone.. Their range - depending on the version - from 50 km to 500 km.

The Iskander system is:.

shells length 7280? 7300 mm, diameter 920 mm;

takeoff weight 3800 kg, warhead weight 480 kg;



solid propellant rocket engine;

aeroballistic flight, on most of the trajectory, the flight altitude is about 50 km,.

the projectile can maneuver on a flight path with an overload of 20? 30g;

maximum speed at the end of the active section is about 2100 m/s.

British intelligence has previously warned that Iranian support for the Kremlin is likely to rise in the coming months as Moscow tries to get more weapons, including hundreds of ballistic missiles..
