RPK-6Vodopad (Russian:РПК-6 Водопад, "waterfall") is aSoviet 533 mmanti-submarine missile deployed operationally since 1981.[1]
RPK-7Veter (Russian:РПК-7 Ветер, "wind") is a 650 mm version, deployed operationally since 1984.[1]
Both missiles are given the same United States Navy designationSS-N-16 and NATO designationStallion.[1]
Both missiles are torpedo-tube launched, with a solid-fuel rocket engine to power them above the surface.[1] Theys are dual-role and can be armed with either a 400 mm anti-submarine torpedo or anuclear depth charge.[1]
The Veter's increased range of approximately 100 kilometers was an impressive boost over its predecessor theRPK-2 Vyuga, which could only reach half the distance.
