Algeria debuts SS-26 Stone ballistic missile system

Algeria will publicly unveil its first Iskander-E road-mobile short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) on MZKT-7930 (8×8) chassis during an upcoming military parade.

Algeria’s acquisition of the Iskander-E makes it only the second foreign operator of the system after Armenia.

The Iskander-E, an export variant of Russia’s Iskander ballistic missile system, enhances Algeria’s precision-strike options. Each of the four systems acquired is mounted on the versatile MZKT-7930 vehicle platform, which provides high mobility and is designed for rapid deployment across varying terrain.

Known by NATO as the SS-26 Stone, the Iskander-E has a range of 280 kilometers, keeping it within Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) standards. Despite the shorter range, it achieves an accuracy of a circular error probable (CEP) of 30-70 meters and uses an inertial guidance system to enhance precision.

 

The system’s specifications include advanced guidance and targeting technology, aligning with Algeria’s ongoing efforts to modernize its military forces.
