The SS-X-26 is a short-range, road mobile, solid propellant ballistic missile system. It began development in the Soviet Union during the early 1970's as replacement for the 'Scud B'. Development of the SS-X-26 was accelerated when the SS-23 was banned by the 1987 INF treaty, resulting in a lack of a modern theater missile system. The SS-X-26 has earned the nickname of the 'Son of Scud', likely due to both its capabilities and status as an export weapon.

The SS-X-26 is a tactical missile system designed to be used in theater level conflicts. It is a strike system developed to attack key military and support units. It was specifically designed to avoid the 500 km (311 miles) range Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty restriction and an export version was created to be under the 300 km (186 miles) export range limit from the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). The missile lacks the range and payload to attack strategic targets, but the accuracy and variety of warhead types make it an extremely flexible battlefield system. It was designed to be able to destroy both stationary and moving targets, specifically SAM sites, short-range missile launchers, airfields, ports, command and communication centers, factories and hardened defensive targets. In this way, the SS-X-26 can destroy both active military units and targets to degrade the enemy's capability to wage war.

The TEL vehicle carries two missiles and is armored with a plated sliding roof for the protection of the missile and its three operators. The missiles are resistant to the effects of outside temperatures (from -50° to +50° C), as well as offering Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) protection, enabling the missile to be fired in almost any environment. It is amphibious and can travel at 70 km/h (43 mph) and does not require refueling for 1,100 km (684 miles). Each TEL vehicle contains all the requirements to operate completely independently. Reload vehicles, each carrying two missiles and a crane, enable prolonged battlefield operations.

The SS-X-26 actually has two variants, the Tender for the Russian Federation military and the Iskander-E version for export. The Tender has a range of 400 km (249 miles) and a payload of approximately 700 kg. The Iskander-E has a reduced range of 280 km (174 miles) and payload of about 480 kg. Both systems uses a single separating warhead equipped with a terminal guidance system, though the accuracy of the missile depends upon which system is used. An inertial guidance system would probably give an accuracy of 200 m CEP while inertial coupled with either a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) equivalent system would provide about 50 m CEP. The use of the inertial navigation, GPS and optical correlation provides an accuracy of 10 to 30 m CEP. Its warheads can be equipped with high explosives (HE), HE submunitions, fuel-air explosives or a HE penetrator. During the terminal phase, the missile is capable of making maneuvers of 30 g and can release decoys, making it extremely difficult for theater missile defenses to intercept the missiles. The SS-X-26 is 7.3 m long, 0.92 m in diameter, and has a launch weight of 3,800 to 4,020 kg. It uses a single-stage solid propellant engine.

The SS-X-26 entered development in the early 1970s as a replacement for the 'Scud B' system. Following the withdraw of the SS-23 missile in 1987, the development of the SS-X-26 began in earnest. The first flight test of the SS-X-26 took place in Oct 1995 and was scheduled for 1998-1999 production. Funding limitations delayed the final test program, and as of 2002 there was no confirmation of a production order. The export version of the SS-X-26 was first displayed in 1999 and it was reported that the UAE was a potential buyer. In March of 2001, it was reported that Iran was potentially negotiating a purchase. The Russian military service version is believed to have entered service between 2002 and 2005.

Putin: Russia to Develop New Strategic Missile

November 17, 2004 :: AP :: News
President Vladimir Putin noted today, in a speech to the Russian military leadership, that Russia has been developing a new form of strategic weapon. Putin has affirmed Russia's intention to do so on a number of occasions. Previous reports have suggested that the new weapon may consist of a hypersonic cruise missile or a hypersonic warhead for an existing missile, either of which could evade U.S. ballistic missile defenses. The United States yesterday tested the X-43 hypersonic system, reaching a new speed record of ten times the speed of sound.

Although Putin's speech today added few details, it is nevertheless notable. Putin said that Russia "is not only conducting research and successfully testing new nuclear-missile systems. I am sure that they will be put in service within the next few years and, what is more, they will be developments of the kind that other nuclear powers do not and will not have," according to ITAR-Tass, Russia's state news agency.

Of particular interest is Putin's understanding that strategic forces and concern with terrorism go hand in hand, rather than being in competition with each other. "International terrorism is one of the major threats for Russia. We understand as soon as we ignore such components of our defense as a nuclear and missile shield, other threats may occur." By contrast, some missile defense opponents in America depreciate missile defense as a distraction from the war on terror, when both are essential to American national security. (More »»»)

Belarus to Acquire Iskander Missiles

November 12, 2004 :: News

In recent years Russia has been developing a new version of the SS-X-26 Iskander ballistic missile, a short range tactical weapon designed as a successor to the SS-21 "Tochka" short range missiles previously deployed in Europe. In recent months there have been reports that the newly designed missile-apparently designed to overcome advances with the American Patriot missile interceptor-will be deployed as soon as 2005.

Today the Minsk Belapan news agency reports that a number of these missiles will be sold to and deployed in Belarus sometime before 2010, citing a Colonel Henadz Shawrow.

The description of the Iskander-E missile matches that given in recent months, namely that it has a range of about 280km. New to this report is that the missile can reportedly deliver multiple conventional warheads of 480 kilograms each, each warhead consisting of 54 separate bomblets. (The weight of such payloads, however, may be too large to be correct.) The description also mentions that it is useful for either point or area targeting-implying it has a high degree of accuracy-and that it "can overcome any anti-ballistic missile system," confirming earlier suggestions that it can overcome the Patriot.

The deployment will replace the Tochka-U (SS-21B) missiles currently in Belarus. (Article, Link)

New Chinese Missile, B-611

November 1, 2004 :: Reuters :: News
Citing Reuters, The New Zealand Herald reports that a new Chinese short-range ballistic missile was revealed November 1. The missile's stated range is 80-150km makes it possibly sufficient to strike Taiwan (~160km distant), according to information distributed at the Zhuhai air show. The missile is given the appellation "B-611." the B-611 was further described as "an effective weapon in the battlefield for fire support and an important attacking force in modern conventional wars."

Update: November 11: East Asia Intel reports that Chinese descriptions of the missile at the airshow compared it to the Russian SS-X-26, also known as Stone, Tender, or Iskander. The missile is also said to have a payload capacity of 480kg, and an accuracy (Circular Error of Probability) of 150 meters. (Article, Link)

Iskander (SS-X-26) to be Deployed in 2005

October 13, 2004 :: Jane's Information Group :: News
Russia will likely deploy an Iskander missile brigade in 2005, according to a recent report in the October edition of Janes Missiles and Rockets. The Iskander, also known as "Tender," is apparently for Russian use, as distinct from the Iskander E, for foreign export. The Russian version may have a range of 400km, a 480kg payload capacity, whereas the export version has a reported maximum range of 280km. A prominent feature of the Iskander missiles is their ability to be retargeted during flight, permitting greater accuracy. (Link)

Russia's New Iskander Missile; Response to America's Patriot?

August 27, 2004 :: RIA-Novosti :: News
Testing for a new Iskander missile has been completed, reports the Russian news agency, RIA Novosti.

President Putin is said to have asked Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Ivanov if the missile can be deployed quickly. Ivanov replied that it could be. Similar news reports suggest that the military may adopt the missile in 2005.

The relation of the "new" missile is unclear, however, to the much older SS-X-26 known as "Stone," "Tender," and "Iskander-E" (the export version, already marketed to a number of countries, including Syria and Iran). As noted in the 2001 National Intelligence Estimate on the foreign ballistic missile threat, the SS-21 (Tochka) and the SS-26 (Iskander) have both already been serving Russia well for its short range nuclear arsenal: "The SS-21 and SS-26 SRBMs provide Russian general-purpose ground forces with a rapid, precision-guided, theater deep-strike capability." There was a report in October 2003, however, that the SS-26 Iskander missile was undergoing improvements.

The new Iskander is said to be capable of carrying either a nuclear or a conventional warhead. It was also described as a successor to the SS-21B "Tochka-U." Unlike Tochka, however, the new Iskander system is said to have two missiles rather than one.

Channel One TV in Moscow gave a few more details of Iskander missile, which is describes as a "new generation weapon," a "closely guarded secret," and employing "stealth technology."

Also of interest are the potential targets listed for the missile. These are said to include "missile systems, long-range artillery, aircraft at airfields, air defence and anti-missile defence systems and communications control centres" (emphasis added). The broadcast continued to say that "the system's specifications show that the promising American air defence missile system, Patriot, will be unable to match Iskander."

Could the Iskander be designed to destroy deployments of Patriot batteries? If so, marketing it to Syria and Iran would seem to indicate a clear purpose of negating America's own attempts to counter the menace of those countries' ballistic missile arsenals.

Moscow television news report also included a list of the missile's characteristics:

Flight range: 280 km; Launch weight of missile: 3,800 kg; Warhead mass: 480 kg; Warhead type: cluster (54 submunitions), fragmentation-high explosive, penetrating; Number of missiles on launcher: two

The payload weight of 480kg would correspond to the previously known weights of the SS-X-26, but the reported range could indicate slight differences. Minister Ivanov is quoted as saying that the new Iskander has an effective range of up to 300 km, while also noting that it is a "high-precision missile." Moreover, versions of the older Iskander had a range of between 280 (export version) and 400 km (Russian version). (Article, Link)
