		In the event of an attack on Moscow, the idea was that the Gorgons would serve as a first line of defense and, if any warheads managed to evade them, the short-range Gazelle interceptors would provide a second layer of protection.
		The Gorgon was constructed with three liquid-fueled boosters, giving it a range of approximately 350 kilometers.
		Special emphasis was given to radiation hardening, since it was presumed that the Gorgon would be operating in an environment of frequent nuclear explosions, whether from incoming re-entry vehicles or other Gorgon and Gazelle interceptor missiles.
