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

Iskander-M used against naval targets, makes sense and a natural evolution considering the existence of Kh-47m2.

OTRK "Iskander-M" tested at the sea test site near Arkhangelsk

Iskander M is a well rounded system. I agree at end comment that its potential is only half known. There is so much more I bet it can achieve. Now increase range and speed and they got it made for years

I first read "Iskanders in Kuba". Would be nice, too.

But they wouldn't be 'Pioneers' of that deployment.

They want some in Kiev very fast.....I hope Putin gives them free of charge....but I hope he won't hit US embassy it would hurt joe Biden's feelings

Trucks and missiles have freshly installed shelters but aircraft are still sitting out in the open

They really need to stop with that

Iskander will receive invulnerable missiles

The Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system will receive a new invulnerable missile, which practically cannot be detected, and at the same time it is capable of performing the most complex maneuvers on the trajectory, deftly evading enemy missiles and striking ground targets.

Sources in the Ministry of Defense told Izvestia that the development of the latest shells for the Iskander began in 2016 and the ammunition is currently in a high degree of readiness. Its tests were already carried out in August last year at the Kapustin Yar test site.
The rockets are made using stealth technology and belong to the "aeroballistic" class, that is, they fly along a ballistic trajectory, but do not leave the earth's atmosphere.

The new items have a radio-absorbing coating and, being super-maneuverable, are capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 500 km.Experts are confident that the new shells will radically increase the combat capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces.

Brigade set of operational-tactical complexes "Iskander-M" delivered ahead of schedule by the Ministry of Defense. 

The Russian Defense Ministry has received another brigade set of the Iskander-M operational-tactical complex. This is reported by the military department.

According to Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexey Krivoruchko, the Iskander-M OTRK brigade kit was delivered ahead of schedule and handed over to the military as part of a single day of acceptance of military products, held this Tuesday, August 10.

The Defense Ministry does not specify which brigade will receive the Iskanders . With a high degree of probability, it can be argued that the new set will go into service with one of the newly formed missile brigades, since all the missile brigades available in the Ground Forces were re-equipped from the Tochka-U missile system to the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system (OTRK) back in 2019. The last to rearm was the 448th missile brigade of the 20th Combined Arms Army stationed in Kursk.

The brigade set of 51 pieces of equipment includes: self-propelled launchers, transport and loading vehicles, missiles, an integrated automated control system, technical condition monitoring equipment, and a data preparation point.

Suspect it is for the new brigade being formed in the South for the 8th Guards Combined Army. Rumoured to be the 40th Rocket brigade.

47th Missile and 238th Artillery Brigades formed as part of the 8th Combined Arms Army

     
On a tip from Miso's twitter https://twitter.com/halmiso1/status/1429386364580159495

   In 2020, the newly formed 47th missile and 238th artillery brigades were deployed on the territory of the military garrison in Korenovsk (Krasnodar Territory).

   47th Guards Missile Zaporozhye-Odessa Order of Lenin Red Banner Orders of Suvorov and Kutuzov Brigade in 1964-1998 was stationed in the Krasnodar Territory.

   The regalia of the 238th Artillery Brigade is unknown to me.

   The 77th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade has also been deployed in Korenovsk since 2014.

   On February 20, 2021, an Open Doors Day was held, where samples of weapons from the Korenovsk garrison were presented
   source https://kuban24.tv/item/v-korenovskom-garnizone-v-preddverii-23-fevralya-proshel-den-otkrytyh-dverej

   The 47th missile brigade is armed with the 9K79 Tochka-U missile system. The 238th artillery brigade is equipped with 2A65 Msta-B guns and 9K57 Uragan multiple launch rocket systems. The S-300V4 anti-aircraft missile systems of the 77th anti-aircraft missile brigade were also presented on the BTR-82AM the identification mark of the 103rd motorized rifle regiment of the 150th motorized rifle division is clearly visible

   As Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Alexei Krivoruchko said in a speech at the Single Day of Acceptance of Military Products on August 10, 2021, by the end of this year, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will receive a new brigade set of the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system, which will be supplied at the same time. "Ahead of schedule" . It is likely that it was about the rearmament of the 47th missile brigade.

NOTE: new information in regards to the 3 previous posts... I have been tracking the Russian military since Soviet Union days (late '70's) and my saying has always been "Be prepared tomorrow to believe something different then today"... perfect example.

How many operational units is that now, overall? 12 plus two new ones formed, for a total of 14 brigades?

And is the composition of a brigade usually the same? or does it differ from one brigade to another?

Is it equal at like 6 launchers with K variant and 6 launchers with M variant or is it more focused on the M variant? Perhaps 8 and 4?

This will make 13 brigades. The latest unit was originally reported to be the 464th and then the 40th but turns up as the 47th. My understanding is the launchers can handle both missiles, so are interchangeable and it depends upon the fire mission. It has also been reported that some brigades may acquire a 4th battalion with another 4 TEL's. However this is not clear.

I know pashinyan dissing the islander was a shameless excuse for his traitorously terrible management of the conflict, but were any Islanders actually launched during the nagorno karabakh war?

Im trying to find good news sources to confirm this. There was a twitter video claiming footage of an armenian iskander launch which must be fake( but I cannot find any sources proving its a hoax).

I also found one russian news site claiming Aliyev denied any iskanders being launched from armenia, after initial claims of iskander M wreckage. Why would aliyev do that?

There is no confirmation because both sides were full of shit

Azerbaijan didn't want people to know they were fighting bunch of left for dead nobodies instead of Armenian Military and Armenia didn't want anyone to know that they pussied out and abandoned Nagorno Karabah

So everyone was throwing shit on the wall hoping it would stick

And also 2 divisional sets (4 TEL's each). Earlier reports said that the Kursk brigade was to get a 4th battalion and Shoigu said recently that Crimea will get a Rocket divisional unit this year.

"He also said that the brigade and two divisional sets of operational tactical complexes (OTRK) "Iskander-M" were received by the Russian Ground Forces in the fourth quarter of 2021. "One brigade and two divisional sets of the Iskander-M tactical missile system have been delivered," Krivoruchko reported to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on a single day of acceptance of military products."

YEKATERINBURG, January 24. /TASS/. The Central Military District (TsVO) will be reinforced in 2022 with two Iskander-M divisional complexes. This was reported to journalists by the commander of the Central Military District, Colonel-General Alexander Lapin.

"The missile forces and artillery of the district will be reinforced with two Iskander-M divisional sets," he said.

In total, in 2022, the military district will receive more than 1.3 thousand pieces of weapons and military equipment, which will make it possible to complete the equipping of two anti-aircraft missile regiments and seven units with modern models.

"Iskander-M" is designed to destroy small and area targets at a distance of up to 500 km, such as missile systems and multiple launch rocket systems, long-range artillery, command posts and communications centers, as well as aircraft and helicopters at airfields.

NOTE: not sure if these will be independent units or attached to the present 2 Iskander-M brigades.
