Russian Iskander, US-Made ATACMS Face Off In Ukraine | Which Missile Is More Powerful? Comparison

- čas přidán 25. 05. 2024
- While Russian Iskander-M missiles have been wreaking havoc in the war in Ukraine, the US-made ATACMS* have just entered the war zone. A former US soldier said the Iskander-M tactical short-range ballistic missiles are a "more capable weapon system" than its "equivalent", the ATACMS. Russian defence analysts also hailed Iskander-M’s performance on the battlefield, underscoring why it is recognised in the West. However, the entry of ATACMS missiles into the Ukraine war stirred a debate over which is the more lethal and superior weapon.

Seriously? Iskander never been shot down in two years of combat, while ATACMS shot down in first week of use. What an insult....
Yeah, OK. They've apparently taken down F-16s that haven't even reached Ukraine yet too 🤣
@@JustMe-zu2mlstop crying now , desperation can't disprove the fact that ATACMS were shot down .. and we know the faith of F 16s .. like those game changer , abrams , leopards , challengers , HIMARS etc .......
Go and take more copium.😂@@JustMe-zu2ml
😂😂😂😂😂
Iskander is failed missile😂😂
Not accuracy .
Only hit in homes,house complexes,schools,hospitals 😢
Atacms are limited while iskandar are in full production and direct supplies. No prize for guessing.
Seems the Army is letting Ukraine have most their inventory of them so not so limited, you know the US army they don't do small . They have a new missile system and were already phasing them out . Funny how older western tech is as good as or often better than the newest Russian tech
@@randym7961 Funny how the West with all their "game changers'"' are ALWAYS the losers in a war against Russians!
@@randym7961 I don't think so. You forget the recent need to approve 65 billion for Ukraine and Israel. Besides, US is bound to mark up the price of each weapon reaching Ukraine. Besides, where did you think US black ops get their billions in funding. The hidden paper money trail. We are not even talking about corruption.
Nay. Think. uS has thousands of Abrams m1. Yet we are seeing less than 100 supplied to Ukraine.
You got the wrong end.
US ain't life and soul into Ukraine.
@randym79619K720s are soviet era systems---the kremlin to would like to expedite old stocks, and there are vast stocks russia is a huge country and defending it is a full-time industry and effort. i am impressed with the russian maintenance culture of its systems....
@@D-E-S_8559 If you are talking about the Iskanders who knew the Soviet Union was still around in the 2000s lol the USSR fell almost 20 years before they went into service . Also maintenance and Russian equipment are not two words that should be used in the same sentence ! If Russia maintained its equipment better it wouldn't have lost so much of it from breaking down .. A good portion of the Tanks APCs etc etc that Ukraine has captured were because of poor maintenance by your military ! We have all seen the many many videos of farmers hauling tanks etc off with their tractors . And you guys get excited over to 40+ year old western tanks that were broken down when you found them and then you guy shot them lol..
Even the KIMskander is better than ATACMS .
😂😂😂
💯 %
ATACMS is destroying a lot of fuel depots and s400 defense systems. S400 can not defend itself against ATACMS. Just destroyed fuel depot in Luhansk. Cold hard facts hurt. So do ATACMS
ISKANDER of course, massively produced over handful of atacms that are being donated.
ATACMS loose the economic war against Iskandar
😂😂😂
Does it really though when atacms be hitting russian s400, oil refineries and russia airbases in russia and occupied territory of ukraine
no it doesnt because the US is significantly more stronger economically than Russia. literally look at the budgets.
Atacms missile cost $1.47 million 👍
Iskander missile cost $3 million 😂😂😂😂
when has it hit an oil refinery it has 300km range acting like it’s unlimited 😂😂
Which US-made toy ever won in Ukraine?
That why they are officially sending troops now . The Himars did had some success though in the first months .took the Russians slightly longer to figure out how to deal with them!
PR-brainwashing mashine
@@kamalchandramoney3541troops won’t help, they will only get droned into oblivion
Two important caveats. First, Iskander operates on a quasi-ballistic trajectory in the final section, which makes it a much more difficult target for air defense. Secondly, Iskander also has a version with a cruise missile, which, due to the low altitude, is also difficult to detect. And I hope everyone understands that the 500 km range limit is an artificial restriction due to compliance with the treaty on medium and short-range missiles, which is no longer valid?
Both are ballistic, but not that rus s400 etc is so succesful shooting down missiles, as like 15 of those systems got destroyed by Ukraine lol, many more buks, tors, strella, pantsir etc too.
@@bekeneel Ukraine has systems too ?
The Russians already shot down a salvo of atacms over Crimea the other day.

It's 1960 tech
@@deepnurmom1737does that mean it still doesn't cost ten times more than the Iskander or no?
@@brandonlongdikjones8117 ATACMS are old stock, if Ukraine doesn't use them they would be discarded anyway. There are thousands of them, just sitting there already made.
Difference : ATACMS is a missile designed for Hollywood. Iskandar M is designed for wars
The iskandar has shown it's worth. The ARACMS is very expensive and not that great. America should have kept the good weapons back
Apparently Iskander was designed for attacking civilian infrastructure and post offices (based on what it's currently being used for)
Yastreb AV destroyed by HIMARS before the new car, vodka smell was even gone. Lol. Two hours after it was deployed--to stop the HIMARS the HIMARS found it and it destroyed exactly ONE HIMARS missile.
To date 6 S400's burned to ashes. That doesn't include the aircraft, Russian soldiers, and ammo dumps destroyed by the HIMARS. The orcs had to move their Black Sea fleet because they were afraid of the HIMARS. Keep talking. Your tears betray you
Awesome take!
comparing which weapon can devastate more truly shows how far we have fallen as people. hope to see a day when we all live peaceful regardless of our political system, race or status.
It is quite a long time to read a very sensible comment to a very stupid heartless comparison by CRUX.
We surely as humans riding the speed train to self destruction, most countries now spend more on military than education and health care
Tell Pooty to stop invading his neighbors to steal their territory and resources
I agree! Unfortunately, it hasn't happened yet in the history of Humans - from prehistoric to the present. It doesn't say much for Humans....
@@JamesStreet-tp1vb Tell NATO warmongers to stay away from Russia's border!
It is an insult to compare the 2 since it is proven that Russia was able to shoot down more than 50 percent of atacms whereas Ukraine has shot 0 per ent of iskander
Proven where? Source? It’s just a short range ballistic missile from the 1980s.
ATACMS is replaced with PrSM missiles, so the warehouses are emptied for new goods, so its price is irrelevant because it is being disposed of. Anyone who gets it in large quantities can do a lot of damage with this precise and deadly weapon.
everytime uki use it, they got strike back 10x n then selinski cries for armament
Islander M is more deadly

I bet for Iskander M
Id say the ATACMS just because it can be reloaded much faster getting more shots in, and its smaller so it can hide better
😂 copium .....ATACMs has been destroyed while on the move by iskander but iskander has not been shot down, talklsa its luncher being hit
"Its smaller so it can hide better" it doesnt work like that bro. Size doesnt matter. 😂

9m54- series 300mm glonass guided mlrs, 250kg multipurpose warhead, he frag, cluster dpicm and Ap ,120km listed, 200km is good to go too,
You should be comparing ATACMS to North Korea missile
"Sub-munitions" means cluster weapons which are banned by most countries. Russia still uses Soviet era cluster warheads but ceased developing them and does not manufacture any. This is because although it is not an official signatory of the UN Convention on Cluster Munitions (2010), CIS affiliated states voted to end production and use. Russia was in no position to disagree and had learned horrible lessons in the Chechen War.
The USA is the only known manufacturer of cluster munitions and deploys 3 especially cruel types, some with timers.
The USA, Poland, Romania, Latvia and Estonia are not signatories to the 2010 UN law.
The 1992 raid on a Russian Navy airfield in disputed Crimea used timed cluster weapons which could not have been launched by Ukraine.
Russia cluster munitions have a much higher rate of failure to explode than the United States. Russia has used them against Ukraine long before Ukraine received the United States older cluster munitions . Claiming unlimited supply .Putin bragged about Russia's massive stock pile of them. Besides the new and improved cluster munitions that are a much lower failure rate then Russia. The US has powerful cluster bombs that do not explode. It’s steel spheres that devastate enemy soldiers. But does not leave un exploded ordinance on the ground. Being much safer than Russian cluster munitions. Unexploded ordnance kills people long after wars end. And it’s all over Ukraine. If you think Russia is ethical and worried about civilian casualtiesJust look at the Ukraine landscape. And all the leveled cities. The US does not send its latest upgraded weapons to Ukraine. Keep up the wishful thinking!
With the mentioned comparison and destructions caused by, Iskander is more superior than the ATACMS.
As shown several of the latter were shot down and failed to do havoc on the target.
lol atacms are less than half the size of a istakender why would you compare them totally different weapons
Because they can’t persuade the uninformed with facts.
iScandal is definitely more advanced...
Didnt even close to Iskander.. while Russia have Kinzhal. 😢

To be fair compare iskander to USA stealth missiles. Someone just fast and someone hard to detect.
Saying US can defeat Russia is like saying biden can run up the stairs without stumbling.
Ignore my previous comment and I apologise, I misread what you wrote 🙏
Atacms not cost effective.
3x cheaper than iskander, muppet.
@@bekeneel Direct! Accurate! Funny!!!
Russia shoots down Atakams, but Iskander cannot be shot down by Western air defense forces, which is a big difference. Iskander is cheaper and more powerful in terms of accuracy.
Everything is better in Russia, even the advertising. Russia's invincible missiles have been destroyed.
Lol…joke of the century … russian as never shot an atacams and iskander misdiles have been intercepted many times…nice try bot …😂

❤Come on Guyz this is an insult .Even non military guyz know thez no answer to Iskander missiles. NO nation has absolutely none has an answer to Iskanders
Iskander is like a tiny nuclear blast, accurate and faster than ATCMS.
The Iskander an equal to nuclear weapons
ATACMs are being destroyed over Russia but Iskander has been invincible. Where is the comparison charlie ?
According to Putin it’s also nuclear weapon capable!
Us weapons aren't that good
Its only good against habibi
They are good enough to be better than anything Russia had made. By a superior margin.
ATACMs has higher mobility and much faster load times
Iskander, especially the domestic variant, is in a league of its own. That isnt to say atacms arent good, but yk
Well considering Iskanders slam Odesa and Kharkov on a regular basis while all ATACMS fired at Crimea were downed the answer is clear
That is completely false.
@@Tom-yy2cm prove it!!
You have compared the inncomparable
Iskander is a current model. ATACMS is from the 1980s 😂
Russia created a purpose built Iskander missile with it's own military industrial complex. NATO purchased a profit driven ATACMS missile from it's own military industrial complex, sold from the lowest bidder. Purpose built probably wins, but that remain to be seen.
People treating this war as if supporting their favorite sport team
I dont believe cruxx because iskander is effective only in times that Ukraine is luck of air defence while atacsm is effective while russia has enough airdefence and modern, atacsm is better than iskander, islander is considiered as old model😮😮😮😅
Yup.. you need a wakey wakey buddy!
Iskander is the Secendar of battlefield❤❤❤❤
Российская Армия не меряется письками-она воюет!

Iskander is 10x cheaper to produce but 10x stronger than ATACMS.
Source: pooty bot farm.
A simple Google would say iskander costs 3 million apiece and atacms costs barely a million apiece 😊.
Yet islander can be shot down by a patriot while atacms blows up russian s400 air defence
Atacms missile cost $1.47 million 👍
Iskander missile cost $3 million 😂😂😂😂
@user-qk9he7se5w mach 7 Iskander missile is shot down by mach 3.5 patriot missile. So funny🤣
@user-qk9he7se5w "atacms blows up russian s400 air defence"-claimed by joker Volodymyr Zelenskyy🤣🤣
Iskandaler? The Hyper-Tonic Missile?
Iskandr is a lot cheaper to produce with the same capability.
Iskandar is combat proven missile

Cant be compare with Atacms😂
also ATACMS was distroyed s-400 to scrap metal
iskander making havoc while there are defenses like patriote and arrow and so forth
Every one knows which is superior
Iskanders are more powerful than attacms
but no accuracy 😂
had to swith the sound off....
What are you comparing
Details would vary but roughly one can say that the Iskander is 2X speed, 3X warhead weight, 2X range compared to the ATACMs
The 300 km range ATACMs barely carries a warhead of 174 Kgs
Creating sensational sounding videos are you
What type of news it is?
Iklander must be a priority to stop
🇺🇸✌🏻🇺🇦
Wow
Cue all the strategic analysts and missile system procurement experts
Iskander ❤
Iskander is too powerful and difficult to intercept
It's a music i have heard already....👂
so is Atacms apparently.
You should read up on that false statement
No 1 wins.
Compare the price tag. I'm sure the US one will win...
Advanced manufactured items = Jobs
Iskandar and not even close
Atacms n1
Difficult to compare since Ukraine and Russia target different sorts of objects. In theory, we could find out which system works better the next time Russia targets Kharkiv by sending the exact numbers of ATACMS and drones to Belgorod. In practice, this won't work since Ukraine is not Russia.
Iskander.

Well it’s hard to say considering Russia uses their missiles on civilian targets.
only military targets
@@efghggdxlmfn33 no all you have to do is watch the evidence. Russians target civilians, they can’t hide their crimes anymore because everyone films everything. Only a fool would believe Russia only attacks military targets.

Winner is the North Korean Missile 😉😉
Iskander very expensive
much cheaper than american wunderweapons

Change the war balance? Like seriously? That was humour.....as if Russia don't have dagger(khinzal) to throw after the stone is not effective enough and when iskandar can hit from over 200km further where is the competition?
Western weapons were over hype as game changers but Ukrainian war has humbled them and has destroyed their reputation ,it works well against a third rate army like Iraq ,Afghanistan and Civilian militias etc
Russian budget when Putin seated has been able to use it by upgrading the Russian weapons meanwhile USA used their economic by starting a war 😂😂
except nuclear, nothing can stop Russias actions in Ukraine.
The Russian shovel is the king of weapons in Ukrainian battlefields!
Quoting “Former soldier said”? Really? Your quote is bull and sounds made up
60,000 Billion is USA?
And scores of people die. Shame upon the high-ranking criminals of the collective West.
The main shackle on ATACMS is the US insistence on Ukraine only using them within its internationally agreed borders, which includes Ukraine and other territory illegally seized by the invasions. If Ukraine was allowed to hit sources within Russia, maybe Russia would not be crowing.
Да,она бы сравняла Украину с землей
Ohhhh, they’ll be crowing all the way to the Moldovan border 😂
To be fair Ukraine isn't the originator of these arms so it must abide by the dictates of it's arms suppliers. Russia produces it's own arms so it can use them as it sees fit.
There is no fairness in war and these two brothers need to patch up their differences. That may ruffle some feathers, but it's the only way for these two civilizations to move forward some day once all the mutual anger is flushed out.
Despite not being hyped up like their American counterparts, the Russian systems are said to be better and more effective but if you say that nowadays you're labelled a 'Kremlin bot' or 'Russian troll' or some other dumb bs.
Wishful thinking
@@Tom-yy2cm Cope😀
Judging by the video, Ukraine is already winning? goes on the attack and recaptures all the towns, villages and the Sea of Azov? I just don’t see any other videos from you... why do they need all the help from NATO then?
Can't Russia hire literate trolls ?
Iskander will win hands down.
But it’s not
Iskandar m lebih baik dan memiliki beberapa keunggulan kompetitif bila ledakan di area musuh jangan harap hidupnya normal kembali karena dasatnya suaranya ledakan serta pecahan nya yang mematikan di area 100 mtr persegi sudah cukup cacatnya itu pasukan menderita tangisan bayi
Iskander cannot hit Kyiv even millitary base why, ? putin struggling to capture entire Ukraine's in 3 days special operations maybe decade or failed 🤣😂 Meanwhile ATACMS its more accurate and devastated action against putin!
Nato has made Ukraine a testing ground for all its weapon except for jets
Because there is not enough air defense in Ukraine. Its make US had no guts to send their best Jet Fighters.. it will end up as metal scraps. And automatically will make a vertical drop for tge price market.
What a useless and unnecessary comparison 😮!!! There’s no equivalent to Iskander, in the whole of nato and is like, comparing a bull to an elephant! WHAT A BELITTLE JOKE
😂😂 Sure, they said same about the S400 until we seen it on the battlefield. Ukraine destroyred like 15 batteries already. S400 can't even stop the missiles obliterating them 😂😂 lots of rus scrap metal.
@@bekeneel What are you high on, I hope it’s not that stupid stuff the cia are fending cocainsky with? There’s no s400 in the battle field in Ukraine hence, the Bear has more other capable defensive weapons that could deal with those nato inconsequential weapons! S400 was not made for such gorilla drones strike that the Ukraines are now employing out of desperation!
To burst your bubble S500 is now slated to join the fray and more headache for nato.
It's a stupid comparison and a pointless debate.
The two missiles and their associated technologies
are completely different and intended for different purposes.
Regardless, in Ukraine, Iskander is being used - but not exclusively - to destroy ATACMS, sometimes before they even get a single shot off.
There is nothing particularly magic about ATACMS.
They are just another missile in a multiple battery mounted on a 6 x 6 truck.
They are not especially or singularly more mobile than anything in the Russian collection.
In Russian off-road machines are infinitely superior in its often snow-bound or swampy or boggy terrain.
Russia remains the master of tracked or multi-axle off-road vehicles.
That is different type from weight or range, Iskander is more powerfull that the fact
