Russia’s 9M729 “Screwdriver” cruise missile, known by NATO as the SSC-8, has drawn global attention after a series of devastating strikes in Ukraine. Designed by NPO Novator and integrated into the Iskander-K system, this land-launched missile combines stealth, precision, and extended range—reportedly reaching over 1,200 km in recent launches. With the capacity to carry four missiles per launcher and deliver either conventional or nuclear payloads, the SSC-8 showcases Russia’s technological dominance and tactical flexibility. Its re-emergence signals not only a renewed era of long-range warfare but also a direct warning to NATO, whose European territories now fall well within its striking range. As Kyiv seeks U.S. Tomahawks, Moscow’s Screwdriver quietly proves it’s already one step ahead.
