Iranian missiles don’t seem very impressive, tbh. They don’t seem to pack much of a punch, and they get intercepted way too easily.

In contrast, Russia’s Iskander seems to get through Ukrainian AD with little effort; American Patriots usually struggling to stop them, often requiring 5-15 Patriot interceptor missiles to take out just one Iskander, at least from what I’ve observed.

Plus they seem pretty powerful, pack quite a punch, and come with a variety of effective warheads, particularly the HE Frag. airburst variant, which turns everything into Swiss cheese and makes the HIMARS tungsten ball-filled warhead pale in comparison.

Iskander was designed by top tier Russian aerospace engineers who had the legacy of the entire Soviet space program behind them. Until 2011, even the US was using Russian rockets to reach ISS.

Iran can't match 50 years of experience competing at the highest levels.
