According to Defense Express, the attack caused a fire due to the ignition of fuel from the missile's tanks.
It is reported that the fire, which occurred on the upper floors of the building, was caused by the ignition of fuel from the missile's tanks.
According to the Air Force Command, during the attack, the enemy fired 9 cruise missiles from the Iskander, of which only 4 were intercepted. A total of 810 drones of various types were used, of which 747 were destroyed, and 4 ballistic missiles were recorded as remaining intact.
Specifications of the 9M727 missile
The 9M727 missile is part of the Iskander operational-tactical missile system, also known as Iskander-K or P-500. It is developed based on the 3M-14 'Caliber' cruise missile and has a ground version. This missile is frequently used by Russian troops for attacks on Ukrainian cities.
This missile, like most Russian weapons, widely uses western commercial off-the-shelf microelectronic components of Chinese manufacture.
The missile weighs about 450 kilograms and is capable of causing significant destruction, highlighting its danger.
As a result of the massive attack by the RF on the night of September 7, the 9M727 missile hit the building of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, causing a fire. It is part of the Iskander operational-tactical missile complex and, according to military sources, caused serious damage. Ukrainian forces managed to shoot down only a quarter of the fired missiles, which is a troubling signal for the country's national security.
The situation emphasizes the need for enhanced control over Ukraine's airspace. Despite the efforts of the Ukrainian army, a significant number of missiles and drones continue to threaten the safety of the state. Therefore, it is important to continue working on improving the air defense system and preventing similar attacks in the future.Read also
