WORLD : The Russian military has struck warehouses used by Kiev forces to store drones in the northern outskirts of the city of Dnipro.
Video footage of the strike surfaced online on April 27. The footage shows what appears to be a tactical ballistic missile impacting the warehouses which are located some 120 kilometers away from the nearest front in the special military operation zone.
The drone warehouses were was most likely targeted with an 9M723 quasi-ballistic missile launched from the 9K720 Iskander system.
The 9M723 missile has a range of nearly 500 kilometers. It can be armed with different conventional warheads and can deliver Nuclear weapons.
The maneuverable missile, which is equipped with decoys and has high resistance to electronic warfare, is guided by a GLONASS-aided inertial navigation system.
It can be also equipped with an optical seeker with a digitized scene-mapping area correlator system for terminal guidance. The accuracy of the missile is said to be between 1-30 meters.
Ukraine stepped up drone attacks on Russian territory in recent months, targeting mainly civilian properties and infrastructure. Drones supplied directly by NATO backers or made locally from commercial models and parts are usually used in these attacks.
On April 27, Russian air defenses shot down 66 over the Krasnodar region. At least 17 more drones were shot down early on April 28 over the regions of Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod and Kaluga.
