Pyatyorka is a common name for the missile as the "digit 5", corresponding to the R-7 Semyorka, the digit 7. The basic version of the missile was an inertially-guided submarine-launched cruise missile to threaten the US coasts. The missile could be armed with either a 1000 kg high explosive or a 200 or 350 kt nuclear warhead.
Between 1960 and 1963, six boats received an extended sail that could contain four Shaddock missiles. These were called Whiskey Long Bin in the West and Project 665 in the Soviet Union. [3] All guided missile variants of the Whiskey class carried the P-5/ NATO SS-N-3c Shaddock land-attack missile, and had to surface in order to fire their missiles.
The US deployed the short-range Harpoon anti-ship missile on submarines beginning in 1981. The Soviet Navy converted 13 Whiskey-class submarines (Project 613) for the land-attack cruise missile (LACM) role in the late 1950s (Whiskey Single Cylinder, Whiskey Twin Cylinder, Whiskey Long Bin), armed with the SS-N-3 Shaddock (П-5) missile.
The Whiskey variants and Echo I cruise missile submarines deployed with a nuclear land attack version of the P-5 Pyatyorka (SS-N-3 Shaddock) from the late 1950s to 1964, concurrently with the US Regulus force, until the strategic land attack mission was transferred entirely to the SSBN force. Along with the Julietts and Echo IIs, these ...
(All missiles based on radar homing unless otherwise noted.) AGM/RGM/UGM-84 Harpoon missile – United States; Made by Boeing/McDonnell Douglas; AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER (Standoff Land Attack Missile - Expanded Response) – United States; Made by Boeing/McDonnell Douglas; AGM-123 Skipper – United States; Developed by the U.S. Navy
The Echo II class carried eight P-6 (SS-N-3a "Shaddock") anti-ship cruise missiles mounted in pairs above the pressure hull. Launch of cruise missile P-6 (SS-N-3A) from a Project 675 (Echo II) submarine Project 675. To fire the missiles, the ship had to surface and the missile was elevated to 15 degrees. [3]
The attack against the destroyers on Monday marks the latest Houthi attack on Navy warships off the coast of Yemen. In late September, US forces fended off a similarly complex missile and drone ...
The P-5 Pyatyorka (SS-N-3 Shaddock) missile required the Project 659 submarines carrying them to stay surfaced after firing to send mid-flight guidance updates. This made submarines very vulnerable to enemy attack, so in the 1960s the Soviets started working on a new missile that could be fired whilst submerged, and a submarine would carry it.
