Russia has fitted its Iskander ballistic missiles with optical and radar guidance systems to improve their accuracy against bridges, according to Ukrainian officials. Presidential adviser Serhii Beskrestnov said the systems allow missiles to correct their course during the final seconds of flight.
“As the warhead descends over several seconds, a radar scan of the terrain takes place, and a correction is fed into the missile’s guidance system,” he said, according to Ukrainska Pravda. The North Bridge in Kyiv was hit by four missiles during an attack overnight on 6-7 November, according to Ukrainian reports.
