Iskander-K missiles
The Iskander-K is a type of cruise missile that flies on a predetermined trajectory. Its peculiarity is that it has a minimum flight height of 6-7 meters. Such a missile can change its course throughout the flight. Such Iskanders are used as part of ground-based tactical systems.
Russian shelling of Ukraine
Russians resort to air terror every day, using single, massive, or combined attacks.
For example, last night, Russian troops attacked Ukraine with three Kalibr sea-launched cruise missiles from the Sea of Azov. Two of the missiles were shot down by anti-aircraft missile units of the Ukrainian Air Force in the Kyiv region.
