Russian Short Range Nuclear Ballistic Missiles Deployed In Syria
Russian nuclear-capable Iskander-M missile systems have been deployed in Syria in the last few days. It is the most advanced tactical missile system in the Russian arsenal and is the first time a nuclear-capable surface missile system has been deployed next to Israel since 2007. DEBKAfile reports: The Russian Iskander is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and has never been made available to any foreign army for operational use. No nuclear-capable surface missiles were deployed in any Arab country bordering on Israel since 2007 when Chinese DF-21 missiles were installed in Saudi Arabia.
