Context
Iskander systems are one of the most dangerous types of Russian missile weapons. The ballistic missiles have high speed and are difficult to intercept. In the previous months, Iskanders have been repeatedly used to strike military infrastructure and civilian targets in Ukraine.
Ukrainian military training units are regularly targeted by Russian attacks. In times of war, training new personnel is critical for the Armed Forces. That is why the shelling of training centers is seen not only as an attempt to cause direct losses, but also as a way to undermine the personnel training system.
