The new Iskander variant, 9M723-2 ballistic missiles dubbed โIskander-1000', have a range of around 550 kilometers by Ukrainian estimatesโthat's 160 kilometers (100 miles) more than the range of the previous variant, the 9M723-1.
This will make it harder for Ukraine to counter the missiles by destroying their launching systems. Ukraine estimates Russia can produce around 60 9M723 missiles every month, and can sustain a launch rate of 50-70 missiles of this type per month.

Trump is looking to pressure NATO allies into committing 5% of their GDP for defense, but the UK isn't on track to hit its 3% defense spending goal by 2030.
U.S. officials said the UK would receive "special attention" from Washington due to its potential to be a leader on defense for what NATO officers call 'NATO 3.0', a new era for the alliance.
It should be highlighted this move would be very beneficial for Argentina, led by Javier Milei, probably the most important Trump ally in South America.
