Scud
"SS-1" redirects here. For other uses, see
SS-1 (disambiguation). Scud is a series of
tactical ballistic missiles developed by the
Soviet Union during the
Cold War and exported widely to other countries. The term comes from the
NATO reporting name SS-1 Scud which was attached to the missile by Western
intelligence agencies. The Russian names for the missile are the R-11 (the first version), R-17 and R-300 Elbrus (later developments). The name Scud has been used by media and other entities to refer to not only these missiles but to the wide variety of missiles developed in other countries based on the Soviet design. Occasionally in the United States news media, Scud is applied to any country's ballistic missiles not of Western origin.
