TR-1 Temp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The TR-1 Temp was a mobile theatre ballistic missile developed and deployed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It was assigned the NATO reporting name SS-12 Scaleboard and carried the industrial designation 9M76. A modified version was initially identified by NATO as a new design and given the SS-22 reporting name, but later recognized it as merely a variant of the original and maintained the name Scaleboard.

The TR-1 was designed as a mobile weapon to give theatre (front) commanders nuclear strike capability. The weapon used the same mobile launcher as the R-11 Scud missile but had an environmental protective cover that split down the middle and was only opened when the missile was ready to fire. It was accompanied by a variety of support vehicles and had to be fueled just before launch but much faster than the Scud, its predecessor.

It was never sold or provided abroad and by the late 1980s it was being replaced by the SS-22 variant and other more modern designs.
