RM48U

Model: RM-48U

Russian ballistic strike missile assembled using components derived from the S-300/S-400 missile family and former target/training missile stocks. Ukrainian Defence Intelligence identifies a 48N6DM-derived solid-fuel motor, 48N6E2-derived tail section and components from 9M96 and 48N6E2 missiles. Reported operational range is up to 400 km, speed Mach 4-6 and warhead 199 kg HE-fragmentation with pre-formed fragments. It uses inertial and satellite navigation. Reuters reported extensive Russian use of the weapon for ground strikes during 2026. Speed is represented as approximately Mach 5 for simulation; blast radius is a simulation value.
