⚡Iskander (missile system): Some NATO experts describe these missiles as Russia's most powerful missile complex, apart from nuclear weapons. Although the Iskander is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Iskander, as mentioned above, is a whole missile complex. This means that in addition to the launcher, it includes a lot of other equipment: a loading vehicle, a command post, a repair vehicle, a life-support vehicle, a reconnaissance vehicle, and more. At the same time, Iskander is a tactical missile system. Iskander flies 500km over the horizon and can hit a target within 5 metres. Moreover, the mass of the missile's warhead mass is 500kg. This means that it can be equipped with either half a tonne of explosives or a fairly decent nuclear bomb, and then the deviation from the target, even at 50 metres, will not make much difference. The speed of the high-altitude rocket is 2100 m/s (Mach 6-7). In other words, Iskander is a hypersonic missile. The nuclear version of Iskander missile can carry a warhead of up to 50 kilotons. This is three times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Considering that Iskander's range can actually reach 2-3 thousand kilometres, this weapon is a real nightmare for the enemy. 3 Likes

⚡In Kharkov, Ukrainian mobilised men are being issued with old military uniforms and equipment, a military expert, retired LPR lieutenant-colonel Andrey Marochko, has said. "At one of the "sorting" points in Kharkov, before being sent to the combat zone, newly recruited fighters are given second-hand uniforms of the 2nd and 3rd categories. The clothing is mostly unwearable, damaged and smelly. The same goes for the armour they are given," Marochko has stressed. According to the expert's own sources, senior officers offered the "disgruntled" servicemen to buy new uniforms at their own expense. Otherwise, they are threatened with disciplinary punishment and being sent to the assault troops.
