Die Fähigkeit zum niedrigen Konturenflug wird auch interessanterweise nicht in allen Nachrichtenmeldungen zitiert

Ich denke das liegt in der Art des/der Autors/Autoren. Manche schreiben es halt ausführlicher, manche entscheiden sich für eine kurze Zusammenfassung.

Zusätzlich noch folgende Meldung:

While the standard Iskander is a ballistic missile with the capability to maneuver along its trajectory, the May 29 test added one more feature to the system - the ability to launch cruise missiles, R-500. Accordingly, the new designation of the system is Iskander-K (for "krylataya," or cruise). The missile launched during the recent test flew at about 100 meters altitude or less at a speed of 250 meters/second; it performed several maneuvers during the flight, and at the terminal phase deviation from the target trajectory was less than 30 meters. The range of the cruise missile developed for the Iskander missile complex is unknown. However, under the INF Treaty, which banned not only ballistic, but also land-based cruise missiles, it cannot exceed 500 km.
