Russian long-range strike capabilities need no introduction. The Eurasian giant regularly uses these systems to a devastating effect, obliterating enemy assets, be it manpower or equipment. The 9M723 hypersonic missile of the “Iskander-M” system has proven to be particularly deadly, as it’s cheaper and more readily available than other similar weapons. Even the Kiev regime forces admit that Moscow has thousands of these in its arsenal and can produce thousands more this year alone. On March 1, the Russian military launched a long-range strike on a troop gathering in the Dnepropetrovsk oblast (region), neutralizing at least 150 enemy soldiers and over 30 foreign advisers. Various reports suggest that the targeted area was the Novomoskovsk training ground, home of the 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade.

Commander of the Neo-Nazi junta’s Ground Forces, Major General Mykhailo Drapaty acknowledged the strike on March 3. He also stated that an investigation was launched and promised that he will “demand the strictest punishment for those who negligently and bureaucratically fulfill their duties in wartime”. While ensuring the security of these troops is the responsibility of air and missile defenses, the truth is that intercepting missiles like the 9M723 is a near-impossible task. The Kiev regime itself claims that only around 4% of these can be intercepted with existing ABM (anti-ballistic missile) systems. Considering just how illogical the claims of its forces are, even this percentage is exaggerated. However, let’s take it into account purely hypothetically. It would still mean that a single 9M723 has a 96% chance of reaching its target.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg of successful........
