I suspect your representative solid fuel would use powdered iron oxide as a catalyst rather than "iron oxide" (actual iron powder in contact with an oxidizer would OXIDIZE, changing characteristics of a fuel in storage!).
Your "typical" fuel likely also requires another .5% or more of carbon black as a "grain opacifier" to prevent light/infrared from the combustion front penetrating into an otherwise too transparent fuel grain, "feeding back" too much ignition energy to the unburned fuel and pre igniting additional fuel below the burn surface, this might quickly over pressurize and CATO a motor.
Otherwise, a pretty good synopsis!
For any interested, download a free PDF of "Ignition!" by John D. Clark here:
Such a great book! Pity it only covers liquid propellants, do you know of anything comparable covering solid propellants for the non-technically minded reader? The USSR did incredible things with liquids, like 'encapsulation' of liquid fueled ICBMs so they could sit in their containers for decades without maintenance. Solids seem to be the way to go for road mobile missiles and Russia seems to have mastered the technology to a similar degree.
It would be interesting to know what terminal guidance is used for Oreshnik. The article suggests that optical seekers are incompatible with high terminal speed, but radar seekers can penetrate the plasma should? Although if you wanted to mount a very large warhead on an Oreshnik and fire from a shorter range, the terminal speed should be similar to the Iskander and allow the use of its optical seeker.
Some years ago, Russia had some promotional videos about a system called Club-K featuring cargo containers for transporting and launching cruise missiles. Was that Iskander-K?
Good article and simple to understand to a non-techy person such as myself. I had heard that they were looking to extend the range of the Iskander to 1000 kms from 500, but was surprised to see unofficial 2000-2500 km. Still not surprised.
Not sure where it fits in the Russian order of battle. I thought perhaps with the CAG (Corp Artillery Group) or AAG (Army Artillery Group). Do you have any info on this?

It's not just the Targeted Individuals, It's happening to everyone in the nations that allow this activity. I've personally sent you this information. And, All of this information is still available online. Is there a problem with your Google and YouTube connections? All of you have known about this information before me.
I only found out about this 4 years ago.
All of this Violates Our American Constitution. Real American Patriots Are Required By Law To Take Action.
All of our Parents from WWII, The Korean War And The Vietnam War, Were All Lied To And Betrayed. Whenever they questioned these unnatural effects, they were all immediately referred to mental institutions.
But, All Of You Are Now Fully Aware.
Yet, you sit back and pretend that this is acceptable? 98% of each and every current war is a direct result of this same illegal system. Why aren't you talking about the last 20 years of a Fake War On Terrorism? The Criminals within our governments and the G7 Nations have all been illegally funding these same Terrorists Groups, With Our Stolen American Tax Dollars. They just handed a Stolen Syria over the Isis and Al Quida, Using Our American Military, The Israeli Military and The Turkish Military. Yet, It's all paid for using Our Stolen American Tax Dollars.
Isis In Somalia Is Currently Being Bombed By Our American Military. Yet, Isis In Syria Is Being Rewarded With Our American Weapons, Our American Air Support and Billions Of Our American Tax Dollars. What Is The Difference Between Isis In Syria and Isis In Somalia. And, These Same Individuals Within Our Governments And Their Supporters Are Also Responsible For The Over 3 Trillion Dollar Illegal War Against Russia. This One Illegal And Almost Fatal Mistake Has Turned Almost Half Of The Worlds Entire Population Against Our American Economy.

Even The Russian Foreign Minister Calls Our System A Cancel Culture. As You All Very Well Know, This Is Not Defined As A Cancel Culture, This Is Defined As Plain And Simple
"Genocide"!!!
Stop The Genocide In America And You Will Stop The Genocide In Other Victim Nations, Including Gaza.
Countries like Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Uganda are perfect examples of Victim Nations. These nations have just rescued themselves from having over 98% of their own money stolen, For over the past 75 years. It takes less than 5 minutes to learn about the Health, Mental and Emotion Manipulating Weapons, That you refuse to talk about. And, Nations like these were robbed for over 75 years because they didn't have the knowledge or technology to protect their nations. Nations like these make up over 70% of the Registered 195 Nations.
The less than 5 minute Weapon Manipulation lessons and the technology that protects against these weapons are worth Trillions of dollars in the international markets. So, Not only is this system illegal in America. But, Now these criminals within our governments are ridiculously expecting these same victim nations to continue being victimised. And continue to allow 98% of their own money to be stolen.
We are obliged by our American Constitution to take actions. This illegal system only goes back 75 years. Our American Constitution goes back hundreds of years. And the laws are written down. The illegal laws that illegally allow this system and weapon to be used on American Soil, Are not written down. Because this is the exact same system of the Hitler Regime. And this is the same weapon that was developed in Nazi Concentration Camp Experiments.
We are currently missing the opportunity to earn hundreds of trillions of dollars because the criminals within our governments, along with their supporters, Refuse to work with the 70% of the Registered 195 Nations, Who are now investing heavily in Protections against these same weapons. What was once an advantage for America is now a disadvantage for America. Because all nations now have access to these same weapons. These same weapons that have always been illegal to use on American Soil against America's citizens.
And for all of you who are hell bent on using this illegal system on American Soil, And want to play Slave Masters, Why are your hired Mercenaries from around the world Healthier and Stronger than their Slave Masters? Why aren't your hired Mercenaries sick with the same diseases you continue to force upon yourselves and Illegally force upon America's Real Patriots who are fighting every single day to protect our American Heritage's.
We Have Millions Of Real American Patriots Who Will Go Anywhere At Anytime To Protect What's Rightfully Ours.

Thanks for your great work Mike!

Superb explanation, making a highly complex system understandable for those of us who are not conversant with battlefield systems requirements!

Nice write up, as always! Have you any nose-to-nose comparisons with any NATO systems?
Hope all is well!
Thank you, I might do something soon but now the next is to assess Iskander and Patriot "interaction".
Ooohhhhh!
And hello the Aleks, hope the family is well.
Always the best information; thank you!💙🇷🇺❤️🐈⬛ All the best to Aleks, family!
Thank you for another thoroughly informative and easy to read explanation, of the Iskander missile systems, Mike.
I will post this link to my blog.
I also hope Aleks, his family and his busy job are doing well.
A fascinating read! Thank you for sharing
High quality article, as usual Mike !
This is brilliant as usual, many thanks for this excellent article!
Very informative. THANK YOU!!
Some years ago, Russia had some promotional videos about a system called Club-K featuring cargo containers for transporting and launching cruise missiles. Was that Iskander-K?
I remember seeing a picture of the tail end of an Iskander with rearward ejecting decoys. Can you confirm that?
Good article and simple to understand to a non-techy person such as myself. I had heard that they were looking to extend the range of the Iskander to 1000 kms from 500, but was surprised to see unofficial 2000-2500 km. Still not surprised.
Not sure where it fits in the Russian order of battle. I thought perhaps with the CAG (Corp Artillery Group) or AAG (Army Artillery Group). Do you have any info on this?
The longer range is for Iskander-K, which is a cruise missile. Iskander-M is the ballistic missile. Both can be launched from the same launcher.
Iskanders are part of the artillery brigades and, compared to the US organization, they belong more to the AAG.
Thank you.
