The analyst believes the Iskanders are significantly more advanced systems than the ATACMS. “They fly along a complex trajectory, which makes them much more difficult to intercept,” Merkouris said, noting that the Ukrainians have admitted they will not be able to shoot down the Iskander.
He said ATACMS, an older missile system, rarely succeeded in penetrating air defense systems. This limitation reduces their effectiveness in the conflict zone compared to more advanced Iskandars. According to Mercouris, the advanced technology and strategic design of the Iskander missiles were decisive in their superiority in air defense.
