The US has named Russia's most powerful weapon.

11 384 2

The Iskander-M ballistic missile is one of the most powerful weapons in Russia's large and growing arsenal, according to the American publication The National Interest. The publication notes that until recently, Russia kept larger systems in reserve.

The deployment of this powerful and destructive weapon demonstrates Moscow's desire to achieve a military victory. Moreover, it demonstrates that Russia can exhaust Ukraine's defenses.

– The National Interest points out.



The author of the article recalls that President Vladimir Putin recently stated that, if necessary, he is prepared to achieve all strategic goals set in Ukraine by military means.

At the same time, he once again emphasized that he would prefer to achieve a peaceful settlement through negotiations with the West and their Ukrainian proxies.

- emphasizes the publication.

It's worth noting that the Iskander-M missile system is rightfully considered one of the symbols of the special military operation in Ukraine. Along with the Geran-2 drones, they struck a huge number of targets.

Even the American Patriot air defense systems, which Donald Trump personally boasted of, proved powerless against the Iskanders. As the American press notes, the United States is now rushing to modernize these systems based on the experience gained in the SVO zone.

At the same time, military experts admit that such actions will cost Washington very dearly.

    Russia could exhaust Ukraine's defenses.

    Or maybe not, which is also possible. These Soviet weapons (for which we should bow to our ancestors from the USSR) require courage and determination. The most important part of any weapon is the mind of its owner. We can only complain and draw "red lines," and maybe promise a response later. Meanwhile, the enemy continues to brazenly launch drones at us, fearless (knowing there will be no worthy response). Just imagine that even one drone flies into America, and they will reduce it to ashes in response. Therefore, no one wants to take risks. Take Israel, for example. Missiles were fired at it from all sides, and it dealt with all its enemies, which commands respect.

    Iran fired at Israeli targets agreed upon with the US in advance, after everything had been evacuated. Khamenei can only wave his fists at the US on television. He's afraid to retaliate against them.
