The Soviet ballistic missile developed and accepted into service in the fifties, concerned about the command and the political leadership of Western countries today. As the decades passed, at the starting position a long time ago took the place of other, more modern, system, developed new, and the media continue to mention the word “Scud”.

Scud missile

Rocket R-11 «Elbrus” was first successfully launched in 1953, the Soviet armed forces received it in 1957. In modern terms, its structure is very simple, the head part is not separated, the control devices were placed between the tanks of oxidizer and fuel. Accuracy left much to be desired, partly offset by a powerful explosive charge and the fact that unburned fuel created an additional striking effect.

Soon the guns got in their NATO designation of SS-1, or “Scud”. The rocket was supplied to countries that at the turn of the 50-ies and 60-ies was considered friendly and even allied. Iran, Iraq, Egypt, North Korea, Syria, Libya, after receiving the latest at the time the weapon became the owners of a powerful argument in disputes with neighbors. Both Yemen (North and South) were shooting each other the Soviet R-17 and R-11. Moreover, the engineering staff, trained again in the majority in Soviet universities, have begun to modernize, improve and explore the possibilities of organization of production similar to their own samples.

R 17

What is so terrible this old and imperfect “Scud”? Rocket has become so popular in countries with high scientific and technical potential for two main reasons.

The First of these is characteristic of the entire Soviet military equipment simplicity and reliability. Understand the structure of the major sites are and North Korean Communists, and Iranian fundamentalists, and Egyptian nationalists. But not that reason was main.

There are Few in the world of modern weapons, which would be so secretive as “Scud”. The missile is transported on the platform, it is hard to detect and even harder to shoot down. During operation "desert Storm”, despite the overwhelming air supremacy of the U.S. air force, they failed to destroy the earth or one of the launchers. With the interception of flying targets, the situation was better, but not much. Complexes «Patriot» knocked around every fifth missile, the rest went through the cordons ABOUT Israel, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Effective way ensure the destruction of “Scud” currently does not exist.

Soviet ballistic missiles

To acquire missile technology seeking not only to rogue States aspiring to regional leadership, but also a terrorist organization. After the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan the government forces of this country has received several complexes «Elbrus”. The Taliban seized the weapon. His fate is unknown, but, like Chekhov's famous gun, the missile R-17 can one shot. In which country this happens, who will press the button “start” - a Kurdish separatist fighter of al-Qaeda or the Afghan Mujahideen?

The Use of the Russian army remaining “Scud” expiring storage during the fighting in Chechnya has revealed the incredible reliability of the old Soviet technology. There was not one failure.
