TheKaliningrad K-5 (NATO reporting nameAA-1Alkali), also known asRS-1U orproduct ShM, was an earlySovietair-to-air missile.

History

[edit]

The development of the K-5 began in 1951. The first test firings were in 1953. It was tested (but not operationally carried) by theYakovlev Yak-25. The weapon entered service as the Grushin/Tomashevich (Russian:Грушин/Томашевич)RS-2U (also known as theR-5MS orK-5MS) in1957. The initial version was matched to the RP-2U (Izumrud-2) radar used on theMiG-17PFU,MiG-19PM. An improved variant,K-5M orRS-2US inPVO service, entered production in 1959, matched to the RP-9/RP-9U (Sapfir) radar of theSukhoi Su-9. ThePeople's Republic of China developed a copy under the designation PL-1, for use by theirJ-6B fighters.

The difficulties associated withbeam-riding guidance, particularly in a single-seatfighter aircraft, were substantial, making the 'Alkali' primarily a short-range anti-bomber missile. Around1967 the K-5 was replaced by theK-55 (R-55 in service), which replaced the beam-riding seeker with thesemi-active radar homing orinfrared seekers of theK-13 (AA-2 'Atoll'). The weapon was 7.8 kg (17 lb) heavier than the K-5, but had a smaller 9.1 kg (20 lb) warhead. The K-55 remained in service until about 1977, probably being retired with the last of theSukhoi Su-9 interceptors.
