The code names you mentioned were not given by the Chinese, but were randomly given by NATO to Soviet weapons. Usually these names have strong derogatory connotations;
The English name of the Scud missile Nicknamed Scud, it means fast and fast;
The official Soviet code name of the Scud missile (SS-1A/B) is P-11 (P is the Russian letter, corresponding to the English R), and the later SS- The code name of the Scud 1C and later is P-300, the system code is 9K72, and the official nickname is "Elbrus";
The frog-type uncontrolled rocket, the name "Frog" comes from the "Land Freedom Rocket" in the NATO classification (Free-Rocket-Over-Ground) From Frog 1 to Frog 7, the first generation includes "Frog-1", "Frog-2", and the second generation includes "Frog-3", "Frog-4", "Frog-5" and "Frog-6". These rockets began to enter the Soviet army one after another in the mid-1950s. Early tactical rockets used semi-trailers pulled by ZIL-175V tractors and tracked launch vehicles modified from "Stalin" tanks or PT-76 light tanks. The off-road performance was poor and after the launch, the aircraft needed to be moved from the ammunition transport vehicle. Load new rockets. Since there is no guidance, the accuracy of tactical rockets depends on their ability to fly directly. These early tactical rocket systems were very unstable and had extremely poor accuracy. Therefore, they had to carry nuclear warheads and rely on the large killing surface of nuclear bombs to compensate for accuracy errors. These rockets are deployed in Soviet division-level troops and are used to destroy enemy tactical nuclear weapons, tanks, infantry, missiles, radars, etc. on the front line and within a certain depth. After the deployment of "Frog-7" began in 1965, the first and second generation tactical rockets began to be retired: the outdated "Frog-1" and "Frog-2" were all retired, and the "Frog-3", "Frog-4" and Some modifications of the "Frog-5" mounted on the PT-76 light tank chassis that were not capable of amphibious operations were withdrawn from active service in the Soviet Union. However, they continued to serve in other Warsaw Pact countries and could still be seen until the end of the Cold War. In addition, some "Frog-5" are used for training, and "Frog-6" is basically a simulation bomb used for training.
"Frog-1" (3R1), "Filin" and "Frog-2" are the earliest tactical rocket systems of the Soviet Union. The notable features of this system are the huge round nose cone and the tracked launch vehicle modified from the "Stalin" heavy tank. "Frog-2" uses the chassis of a PT-76 light tank as a launch vehicle (cannot operate amphibiously). The rocket size is smaller than that of "Frog-1" and also has a round nose cone.
The names of "Frog-3" and "Frog-5" are both called 2K6 "Moon" (Луна). 2K6 is the design code name of the Directorate of Missiles and Artillery of the Soviet Ministry of Defense, and the NATO code name is "Frog-3" (using 3R9 rockets) or "Frog-5" (using 3R10 rockets). The rocket system includes a 2P16 three-purpose launch vehicle (a semi-trailer towed by a ZIL-175V tractor can also be used), an ammunition transport vehicle modified from a truck ( Each vehicle can carry 2 rockets) and a mobile crane for loading. The rocket warhead weighs about 360kg (800lb) and has a range of 10km-61km.
The 2K6 system entered service in 1960 and was used during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Twelve 2K6 systems were deployed in Cuba. They were still deployed (for training) in the 1970s. There are still an unknown number of 2K6 systems in North Korea (9K52 and 2K6-24 units) dedicated to "Frog-6". The training simulation bomb can be mounted on a trailer pulled by a ZIL-157 6x6 tractor.
There is only one third-generation tactical rocket, and there is no other semicolon - "Frog-7". Including "Frog-7A" (3R11, 9K21, 9M21, R-65) and "Frog-7B" (9K52, 9M52, R-70), they are all called "Moon-M". The rocket is a common single-stage design with a cylindrical warhead that is the same diameter as the missile body, making the rocket look simpler and more modern than its predecessors. The range of "Frog-7" is 70km (effective range is 15km-68km), the warhead weight is 550kg, the circular error (CEP) is 500m-700m, and the impact area is roughly a rectangle with a length of 2.8km and a width of 1.8km. .
"Frog-7" can carry high-explosive warheads, nuclear warheads and chemical warheads. This rocket gave the Soviet division-level troops the ability to conduct deep nuclear strikes. The Frog-7A entered service in 1965, replacing a series of earlier tactical rocket models, some of which had been in service since the mid-1950s. The rockets used by the "Frog-7A" include: 9M21F, with a high-explosive warhead weighing 450kg; 9M21B, equipped with three types of nuclear warheads, with an equivalent of about 200kt-300kt; 9M21G, equipped with a chemical warhead (filled with VX nerve gas or Its replacement); 9M21A, equipped with a cargo compartment for spreading submunitions (filled with anti-infantry submunitions with a total weight of 4.5kg). "Frog-7B" (9K52 "Moon") is the last modification of "Frog-7", with a range of 70km and a circular error (CEP) of 500m-700m. It can carry a 450kg high-explosive warhead or nuclear warhead, and a 36kg chemical warhead. The improved "Frog-7B" warhead can also be a special cargo compartment used to spread submunitions and mines. "Frog-7" uses a wheeled three-purpose launch vehicle modified from the ZIL-135 (BAZ-135) 8x8 truck. This launch vehicle can carry one rocket and is equipped with a crane for loading the rocket. The launch vehicle and mobile crane for loading are combined, with a crew of four. The launch vehicle weighs 25,300kg, is 10.78m long, 2.83m wide and 3.50m high. The new rocket is loaded directly with the crane on the right side of the launch track of the launch vehicle. The ammunition transport truck is type 9T29 (also modified from ZIL-135). After the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq improved its inventory of "Frog-7" rockets, increased its range to 90km, and replaced them with submunition warheads. This kind of rocket is called "Laith-90"
In the 1970s, in view of the need for a precision strike weapon to replace the frog-type uncontrolled rocket ( This kind of weapon is a typical representative of extensive products and is not suitable for the needs of modern warfare) and is used to fill the firepower gap between the 9A52 "Tornado" rocket launcher and the 9K72 tactical missile. The 9K79 "Polka Dot" (NATO code name SS-21 "St. "Beetle", Scarab is the pet name of the Chinese translator. If you only consider the original meaning, it is a dung beetle) tactical missile to replace the frog rocket.
Silkworm missiles generally refer to the Eagle Strike series anti-ship missiles made in China, especially the Sea Eagle series missiles that are imitated from the Soviet SS-N-2 Styx. Because of their short and thick body, Commonly known as the Silkworm Type in the West, it is the name given to the C201 (the export model of the Haiying 2) and the C601 series of anti-ship missiles (derivatives of the Haiying 2) exported from my country. Some people also believe that China's "Silkworm" anti-ship missile refers to the "Haiying"-2 (HY-2) anti-ship missile.
