Iskander-M/K (SS-26 Stone):

The BBO missiles carried out a combat training launch of the quasi-ballistic missile of the Iskander SRBM as part of a tactical exercise at the Kapustin Yar training ground. Rocketeers fired at targets that mimic a critically important target enemy

According to objective control data obtained using the Orlan-10 unmanned aerial vehicle, the training target was successfully destroyed.

In addition, during the training, the SRBM calculation fulfilled the standards for transferring the complex from its traveling position to combat, reloading missiles from transport-loading vehicles to self-propelled launchers and launching a missile strike at given coordinates.
The LRHW range was not officially disclosed, but the AHW range was declared at 3,700 nautical miles (6,800 km), a number of unofficial estimates give an effective LRHW range of about 5,000-6,000 km, but estimates of 3,000-4,000 km are more realistic.

First time ever they publish the impact like that.

Within Grom-2019 strategic command & control exercise, the Iskander missile system units have carried out cruise missile launches at the Eastern and Southern Military Distric test sites Strategic Exercise Missile Launch Cruise Missiles

Russian Armed Forces completed rearmament from Tochka-U missile systems to Iskander-M

According to the Zvezda TV channel, on November 25, 2019, the missile brigade of the Western Military District (ZVO) completed rearmament to Iskander-M operational-tactical complexes. It was given the brigade kit of a modern missile system. This was announced by the commander in chief of the Ground Forces of the Russian Federation Oleg Salyukov.

In April, it was reported that the 448th Missile Brigade was the only ZVO compound, which by that time remained equipped with Tochka-U complexes.

Comment by bmpd. Thus, the 448th missile brigade deployed in Kursk of the 20th Guards Combined Arms Army of the Western Military District completed the rearmament from the 9K79-1 Tochka-U tactical missile systems to the 9K720 Iskander-M new tactical missile systems (OTRK)". Until recently, the 448th missile brigade remained the last of 13 missile brigades of the Armed Forces of Russia, equipped with outdated Tochka-U OTRK, and thus, the rearmament of this brigade marks the final withdrawal of the Tochka-U OTRK from the armament of linear units of the Russian Armed Forces (although it is likely that the operation of Tochka-U will continue for some time by parts of the 60th training center for the combat use of the Missile and Artillery Forces of the Russian Ground Forces in Kapustin Yar).

The remaining 12 missile brigades received brigade kits of the Iskander-M from 2010 to 2019 (nine brigades were re-equipped with the Tochka-U OTRK and three brigades — the 3rd, 12th and 464th — were additionally formed) .

The 448th Missile Brigade in Kursk received the second of two additional brigade kits of the OTRK 9K720 Iskander-M under a contract concluded in August 2017 by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with JSC Scientific and Production Corporation KB Engineering. The first brigade kit of OTRK Iskander-M ”under this contract was earlier delivered at the beginning of 2019 to equip the newly formed 464th Missile Brigade of the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District with deployment in Znamensk (Astrakhan Region, the same Kapustin Yar training ground).
