Those missiles have certainly caused considerable havoc in Yemen for Saudi/UAE forces, somewhere around 500 fatalities based on reports, including some ugly hits of CPs/HQs.

The Russians have developed a lot of formidable weapon system designs on paper that don't make the necessary leap to positive feedback from end users.

But they certainly seem to have done a solid job with that SS-21 Iskander.

And I would guess there could be potential to develop flight profiles that could make interception a real challenge(at drastically reduced range I assume).

It seems like we are finally living the 1950's sci-fi future of rockets fighting rockets.
