Kholod
Appearance
Kholod (Холод) is the name of a project which was originally developed in Russia. The hypersonic rocket uses a scramjet engine and was created to exceed the speed of 5.75 Ma. The prototype consists of a Soyuz TMKB with liquid hydrogen and modified fillings from the SA-5 Gammon missiles. The entire rocket including the four booster rockets is 12 metres (39 ft) long and 750 millimetres (30 in) in diameter.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The project led to other Russian hypersonic rockets like the Igla rocket craft and the Yu-71 boost-glide warhead.
