The Iskander system is a family of Russian tactical missile systems. The system uses both ballistic (Iskander-M) and cruise missiles (Iskander-K), which are capable of maneuvering in flight to bypass missile defense systems. The maximum officially declared range of targets is up to 500 km.

Garmon radar is a modern Russian multi-band radar designed to detect air targets, determine their coordinates and identify them. "Garmon operates in several frequency bands simultaneously, which allows it to effectively detect airplanes, helicopters, and even stealth targets such as drones. Due to its high automation, it integrates into unified air and missile defense systems.
