Iskander Deemed Game-Changer In Mideast

TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel regards a new Russian missile exported to Syria as
a weapon that could change the balance of power between the Jewish state and
its Arab neighbors.
A report by a former Israeli defense official said the Iskander-E
rocket, known in the West as SS-26, would mark a significant improvement of
most Middle East militaries. The former official, identified as Haim
Rosenberg, asserted that Iskander, operational since 2006, contains what he
termed "almost pinpoint precision."
