The
UR-100 missile developed at Vladimir Chelomei's design bureau in the town
of Reutov near Moscow became the most numerous ICBM deployed in the Soviet
Union during the Cold War. Since mid-1960s, several generations of the
UR-100-based missiles have been developed.
The
mass production of the missile at Khrunichev enterprise in Moscow stopped
around 1990, however the already deployed missiles remained in the armaments
of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces for the next decade. The UR-100NU
missile also became a base for Rockot and Strela launch vehicles, developed
respectively by Khrunichev and NPO Mashinostroenia.
