RT-15

The RT-15 was a mobile theatre ballistic missile deployed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It was assigned the NATO reporting name SS-14 Scamp (alternately the SS-14 Scapegoat) and carried the industry designation 8K96.

The RT-15 was an early Soviet attempt to develop a road-mobile theatre ballistic missile. It was intended to be sea and ground launched and had a maximum range of 2000-2500 Kms. The missile was developed in the early 1960's and was first seen on a mobile land launcher during the May of 1965. While fully developed, the system was refused for service and while it had begun deployment, it was withdrawn from service and the project cancelled before it could become a major element of the Soviet forces.The missiles were decommissioned and replaced during March 1970.
