Lists on the subject

The P-35 Progress is a ship and submarine -assisted anti-ship missile from the Soviet / Russian production. The GRAU index is 4K34 and the NATO code name SS-N-3 Shaddock .

development

The SS-N-3 was designed to combat aircraft carrier groups and naval war units. A variant for attacking land targets was also created. The development in the design office OKB-52 Tschelomei (later: NPO Maschinostrojenija) began in 1954. In June 1959 the first systems were introduced in the Soviet naval forces. The following classes of ships were equipped with the SS-N-3:

technology

Missile launch pads of a Juliett-class submarine

The SS-N-3 is primarily used to combat ship targets and area targets on the mainland. The guided weapons are housed in large steel containers on the ship deck and are launched directly from these. At the start, two rocket boosters propel the missile out of the launch tube. Immediately after leaving the starting container, the wings unfold. After the rocket boosters burn out, they are thrown off and the turbojet engine ignites. The missiles can be launched individually or in series. It takes around 12 to 18 minutes to prepare for takeoff. The second salvo can be started within 4 to 6 minutes. A carrier ship can control four guided missiles simultaneously and supply them with target data. The following two attack profiles are possible:

  • Low-Low: Low- altitude flight at Mach 0.9–1.0 at an altitude of 400–1000 m (depending on the version). Impact in the target at water level. Range 300 km.
  • Low-High: cruise flight at Mach 1.5 at an altitude of 4000–7000 m (depending on the version). Dive into the target at an angle of 45 °. Impact in the target at water level. Range 460–650 km.
