- TR-1 Temp
The TR-1 Temp is a mobile
theatre ballistic missile developed and deployed by theSoviet Union during theCold War . It was assigned theNATO 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 Temp entered service in the mid 1960s.The TR-1 was designed as a mobile weapon to give theatre (front) commanders nuclear strike capability. The weapon used the same mobile launcher (
MAZ-543 ) as the R-11Scud missile but had an environmental protective cover that split down the middle and was only opened when the missile was ready to fire.Operators
