Russia Blows up Mirgorod Air Base with Iskander Tactical Ballistic Missile

Russia carried out a maximum force missile attack on Mirgorod Air Base in Poltava Oblast, home to the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade flying MiG-29 fighters. Russia uses its Iskander missiles when it needs to strike a target hard and with certainty. The Iskander-M is a quasi-ballistic missile that keeps changing trajectory. In addition, it reaches hypersonic velocity during the terminal phase of its trajectory.
