9M728 (RS-SSC-7 Southpaw)

The 9K720 Iskander is a family of Russian mobile short-range ballistic missile systems. The basic M model has a range of 500 kilometres (270 nmi; 310 mi). It was intended to replace the OTR-21 Tochka in the Russian military by 2020. The Iskander has 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. In September 2017, the KB Mashinostroyeniya (KBM) general designer Valery M. Kashin said that there were at least seven types of missiles (and "perhaps more") for Iskander, including one cruise missile.

Developed by Novator Design Bureau and introduced in 2006, this missile has been a subject of international concern regarding arms control treaties.
