TheTR-1 Temp (Russian:Темп-С,Temp-S, meaning 'Speed') was a mobiletheatre ballistic missile developed and deployed by theSoviet Union during theCold War. It was assigned theNATO reporting nameSS-12Scaleboard and carried the industrial designation9M76 and theGRAU index9К76. A modified version was initially identified by NATO as a new design and given theSS-22 reporting name, but later recognized it as merely a variant of the original and maintained the nameScaleboard. The Temp entered service in the mid-1960s.
The TR-1 was designed as a mobile weapon to givetheatre commanders nuclear strike capability. The weapon used the same mobile launcher (MAZ-543) as theR-17 Elbrus missile but had an environmental protective cover that split down the middle and was only opened when the missile was ready to fire. All were decommissioned in 1988–1989 as part of theINF treaty banning such weapons.[1]
