NATO Air Defences No Match for Russia's Iskander: Rostec to Sputnik
Western air defence systems deployed by Ukraine — including the US-made Patriot launchers — are unable to intercept Russia’s Iskander missiles and can do nothing but track their trajectory, according to Russia’s state-owned tech conglomerate Rostec, speaking to Sputnik.
“The enemy cannot repel strikes by the Iskander system. The ballistic missile follows a complex and unpredictable trajectory at extremely high speeds,” the statement read.
The maneuvering capabilities of the Iskander ballistic missile far surpass the handling capacity of most NATO interceptor missiles, Rostec added.
“That’s why the Ukrainian Armed Forces have nothing capable of shooting down an Iskander. In reality, they can only watch it fly — knowing their targets will inevitably be hit,” Rostec said.
Rostec highlighted that the Iskander's warhead is powerful enough to cripple targets even at a considerable distance from the missile's impact point. Additionally, if the launch system is struck by the blast wave or shrapnel, it becomes irreparably damaged.
