Servicemen from a Western Military District missile large unit based in the Kursk Region in southwest Russia have test-fired a new Iskander-M (NATO reporting name: SS-26 Stone) tactical ballistic missile system, the Defense Ministry’s press office said.

“The crews hit the target at a distance of about 60 kilometers [37 miles] at the Kapustin Yar testing range in the Astrakhan Region [in south Russia].

After the test-launch, the crews practiced displacing to a new positioning area as quickly as possible,” the press office said.
