The 9K720 Iskander ((ロシア語:«Искандер»); NATO reporting name SS-26 Stone) is a mobile short-range ballistic missile system produced and deployed by the Russian Federation. ==History== The road-mobile Iskander was the second attempt to replace the Scud missile. The first attempt, the Oka, was eliminated under the INF Treaty. The Iskander appears to have several different conventional warheads, including a cluster munitions warhead, a fuel-air explosive enhanced-blast warhead, a high explosive-fragmentation warhead, an earth penetrator for bunker busting and an electromagnetic pulse device for anti-radar missions. The missile can also carry nuclear warheads.〔(9K720 Iskander-M (SS-26 Stone) – Program ) GlobalSecurity retrieved on 11-15-08〕〔(9K720 Iskander-M (SS-26 Stone) ) GlobalSecurity Retrieved on 11-15-08〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NATO Members Alarmed by Russian Nuclear Missile Deployment )〕 The first successful launch occurred in 1996.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Россия модернизирует «Искандер» )〕 In September 2004, at a meeting with senior defense officials reporting to President Vladimir Putin on the drafting of a defense budget for 2005, then-Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov spoke about the completion of static tests of a new tactical missile system called the Iskander. He said that the system would go into quantity production in 2005 and toward the end of that year Russia would have a brigade armed with it.〔 In March 2005, a source in the Russian defense industry told Interfax-AVN the development of new missiles with a range of 500–600 km, based on existing Iskander-E tactical missile systems, was a possibility. He said, however, that it "may take up to five or six years".〔 In 2006, serial production of the Iskander-M Tactical Ballistic Missile System launched, and the system was adopted by the Russian army.〔 The cost of the rocket decreased by 30% in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=- "" )〕 A number of countries were attempting to secure arms deals for the Iskander system, beginning in 2011, with the most likely contenders being China, India and South Korea.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「9K720 Iskander」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
