The operational-tactical Iskander-M missiles and the Kinjal air-launched ballistic missiles have been modernized to avoid interception by the Patriot system. These missiles follow a normal trajectory, then suddenly deviate, which has led to a significant decrease in Ukraine's interception rate, from 37% in August to just 6% in September.
