Can Anyone Help IDENTIFY This "SOVIET" Rocket ?
Can anyone help identify this "SOVIET" rocket ?
There is "B-625" associated with drawings of the prototype, but the search to accurately identify the rocket is still ongoing. Please feel free to post any information / data ! Dave F. Last edited by Ez2cDave : 06-10-2022 at 08:59 PM. |

Very cool shape! Would make a fun scale model!

The first photo shows the vehicle on what appears to be an SA-2 launcher - plus there are SA-2 blast deflectors to the left. On the middle (cutaway) photo - is that a warhead toward the nose? I'm thinking this was a prototype SAM and not a sounding rocket. Plus B-625 is Cyrillic, so it's actually V-625. Lots of Soviet SAM SYSTEMS were designated V-XXX (though the missiles themselves were often S-XXX).

Well,
I've never seen this one before. It's not particularly large. Overall length is 318.9 inches or a little over 26.5 feet. Booster diameter is 17.71 inches and sustainer is a bit over 11 inches. It bears more than a passing resemblance to an early model Terrier missile. With those large fins, this is definitely not a "SAM in a can" as the Russian armed forces seems to prefer today. My guess would be this is an older design from the 60's or 70's. Overall, I'd classify it as a Standard EM analog. Dave, where you got the drawing, picture and cutaway can be a clue as well. Where did they come from?

Mark, Well, I could tell you, but . . . LOL ! https://forum.dcs.world/topic/28198...d-of-the-r-27er In that thread ( unrelated to the data in question ), about 2/3 of the way down the page. The person who posted it just referred to it as "an old Soviet project". He used it as a "reference" for their computing velocity for an R-27 ( totally unrelated ). Here are ALL of the images ( below ). Dave F. |
