The United Socialist States of Drabikstan has begun producing its own version of the 'Scud B' ballistic missile. Drabikstan's Defence Department seeks allies and partners willing to help produce and research missile technology. This is only a limited missile project suited for other small nations with a limited military budget. We have neither the intention nor the capability or resources to produce larger ICBMs or nuclear warheads.
The ‘Scud B’ is a tactical system which is typically used to bombard enemy positions and cities. The accuracy of the system is far too low for deployment against units, specifically due to the lack of submunitions. The system is only useful if deployed against large targets such as manufacturing complexes, cities or troop staging areas. In the case of the Russians, the ‘Scud B’ was equipped with nuclear warheads to enable tactical deployment against military units in the case of an escalating conflict. The placement on a Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) vehicle allows for mobility and for deployment on the battlefield.
The ‘Scud B’ is 11.25 m long, 0.88 m in diameter and has a launch weight of 5,900 kg. It has a range of 300 km (186 miles) with accuracy of 450 m CEP. Several different warheads were developed for the ‘Scud B’ missiles including nuclear yields between 5 and 70 kT, chemical agents, and conventional high explosive. A typical ‘Scud B’ takes approximately one hour to finish a single launch sequence. It uses an inertial guidance system and a single-stage liquid propellant engine.
