Ballistic means a high arcing trajectory using attained altitude in the boost phase to maintain an unpowered, high velocity terminal phase. Ballistic trajectories are generally used for long range. The Iskander has a number of different models with different guidance modes and a terminal CEP
of 5-7 meters. While it is nuclear capable there are versions with several different conventional war heads.
Thanks guys. Fascinating stuff.
There are arguments on how survivable a limited nuke exchange would be.
I’d rather not know! :)
