Russia has released dramatic footage showing Iskander-K nuclear-capable missile launchers moving through forests during massive strategic exercises with Belarus. According to Russian military reporting, the upgraded 9M729 cruise missile deployed with the system can reportedly strike targets up to 2,000 kilometres away — potentially placing several European capitals within reach. The large-scale drills involve tens of thousands of troops, submarines, aircraft and missile launchers as tensions with NATO and the West remain deeply strained over Ukraine and European security.
