Russia turns Ukraine into a target grid with precision missile web, nine Iskanders encircle Kyiv

As global focus shifts to rising U.S.–Iran tensions, Russia has quietly reshaped the battlefield around Ukraine. New open-source tracking reveals a growing network of Iskander missile launch zones spanning Russia’s north, east, and Crimea. From Kursk to Rostov, analysts say Moscow has built a dispersed strike grid designed to cut warning times and sustain relentless pressure on Kyiv. Satellite imagery points to camouflage, redeployment, and fresh fortifications, signalling long-term intent rather than a short surge.
