Ukraine Just Found Russia's New Ballistic Missile — It Changes The Map

Ukraine had a plan. Don't wait for Russia's ballistic missiles to reach Kyiv. Find the launcher. Track it. Destroy it before it fires. It was working. Then Russia changed one number. 390 kilometers became 550. And suddenly the launcher can hide 160 kilometers deeper inside Russia — farther from Ukrainian drones, farther from reconnaissance, farther from the weapons trying to reach it before launch. The 9M723-2, Russia's upgraded Iskander variant, doesn't just extend the missile's range. It extends the battlefield behind it. This week's Chokepoint Review explains why 160 extra kilometers may matter more than any headline suggests.
