Russia reportedly used upgraded 9M723-2 'Iskander-1000' ballistic missile

Ukraine's HUR claims Russia впервые used an updated Iskander ballistic missile variant 9M723-2 ('Iskander-1000') as part of the 'Bora-M' complex. The novelty is an enlarged engine and launcher enabling a claimed range increase to ~550 km (vs ~390 km for 9M723-1), indicating an incremental but meaningful modernization of Russia’s battlefield ballistic strike capability.
