	Scud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the end the Scuds were responsible for the death of one Israeli directly, one Saudi security guard and for the deaths of 28 US soldiers (the missile struck a United States Army barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia).
		Scud missile (including derivatives) is one of the few ballistic missiles to be used in actual warfare, second only to V2 in terms of combat launches (the SS-21 being the only other ballistic missile fired "in anger").
		Besides the aforementioned Gulf War, Scud missiles were used in several regional conflicts, most prominently by Soviet forces in Afghanistan, and by the Iranians and the Iraqis in so called "War of the cities".

		In the end the Scuds were responsible for the death of one Israeli directly and for the deaths of 28 US soldiers (the missile struck a barracks in Saudi Arabia).
		All "Scud" versions derive from the German V-2 rocket (just like the majority of early American missiles and rockets) and are (very) inaccurate due to their construction.

	The Scud Missile Syndrome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Scud B/C are older Soviet missiles with range upto 1000 Km - but some countries have tried to reverse engineer these missiles - and even traded range for warhead to reach out to specific targets - the case in point being the use of the missile Al-Hussein by Iraq in the Gulf War 1991.
		Scud therefore may be considered as a basic model for missile production for most of the Third World - and of course every new manufacturer tries his best to inject some variation for improvement and tinker with the basic ballistic performance of the Soviet (Ex) missile.
		Scuds can be used both emplaced in well protected bunkers as well as on mobile launchers - in fact the latter is the more normal way of using these missiles - and the Iraqis did use these while firing from mobile launchers.

	R-11 / SS-1B SCUD-B - Russian / Soviet Nuclear Forces
		SCUD missiles are found in SSM (SCUD) brigades at front/army level.
		The longer range SCUD B, also known as SS-1c, can be distinguished by the one meter greater length of the missile and the presence of two air bottles on the side of the superstructure in place of the single bottle used for the "SCUD A" missile.
		By the early 1990s, the `Scud' system was unquestionably obsolete and many of the 9P117 launcher vehicles were retired due to age.

		Although Scuds carry conventional explosives, the Scud was originally developed for the purpose of carrying a nuclear warhead.
		The SS-1B ‘Scud A’ entered into service in 1955 and was equipped with a 50 kT nuclear warhead as a short-range nuclear weapon to attack Western Europe.
		In the case of the Soviets, the ‘Scud B’ was equipped with nuclear warheads to enable tactical deployment against military units in the case of an escalating conflict.

	scud
		Scuds are tiny crustaceans, close relatives of crayfish, water fleas, and shrimp.
		Their main food is microscopic plants, animals, and debris found on plant leaves and stems, or rocks, sticks, etc. Scuds help keep water healthy for other animals by eating up dead leaves, sticks, and other matter that ends up on the bottom.
		Scuds molt (shed their exoskeleton) at least nine times in their lifetime.

		The ‘Scud’ missiles used by Iraq during the Gulf War in 1991 were largely the Iraqis’ own improved variant of the ‘Scud B’, the Al Hussein.

		Scud was first deployed by the Soviets in the mid-1960s.
		Such a Scud therefore came down with a relatively heavy warhead and a heavy motor, separated by the light empty fuel tank.
		While there is uncertainty over the total number of Scuds fired during the war, one study done by General Merrill McPeak, Chief of Staff, U.S. Air Force,("The Air campaign: Part of the Combined Arms Operations," Dept. of Air Force, 1991) is considered the most reliable.

	Scud War, Round Three--October 1992
		Scuds were able to exploit software problems in the modified Patriot system to slip through.
		This study further noted that the suppression of Scud attacks became "crucial" only after the Persian Gulf conflict was well under way and it had become clear that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was attempting, with repeated missile barrages against Israel, to goad that country into joining the war.
		He called US prewar estimates of the Iraqi Scud threat "inaccurate," said the initial forty-eight-hour onslaught on identified Scud sites "failed to achieve its objectives," and approvingly cited published reports that showed that allied special operations forces were unable to close down Scud launches from western Iraq.

	DOD: Information Paper- Iraq's Scud Ballistic Missiles
		Scuds often broke up on reentry, dispersing propellant that sometimes caused burning sensations of the skin and throat, nausea, headaches, breathing difficulties and other symptoms in some United States servicemembers.
		The same report stated that Iraq's missile officials were considering having Scud missiles deliver chemical or biological weapons, counting on Patriot missiles to intercept the Scuds, thus dispersing the agent and contaminating an estimated 60 square kilometers (23 square miles).
		Scud threat reduction efforts went forward on several fronts and included expanded surveillance and warning, deploying Patriot surface-to-air missiles with some ballistic missile intercept capability, air strikes against production and storage facilities, and attempts to destroy Scud units in the field before or after they launched missiles.

	Scud War, Round Two
		The difficulties of combating the Scud threat during Operation Desert Storm are being taken to heart throughout the armed services, propelling new efforts to deal with a persistent, elusive menace that will only increase on the battle-fields of the future.
		The potential lethality of every Scud missile was underscored in the final days of the forty-three-day war when one of the weapons, exploiting what the Army later called "an inexact computer software calculation," slipped past the net of a Patriot battery and slammed into a US barracks near Dhahran.
		Saddam used his Scuds to strike terror into the heart of far richer, better-armed nations-and, very nearly, to bring Israel into the war and thereby undermine the thirty-three-nation coalition.

		Those irregularities, and the fact that its unlisted cargo of 15 SCUD missiles bound for Yemen was hidden under thousands of bags of cement certainly conveys an air of contraband, but Yemen immediately insisted that it had purchased the missiles in an above-board transaction with North Korea, and that such a transaction violated no laws.
		In the case of the 15 SCUDS aboard the So San, the recipient is a U.S. ally and isn't denying the purchase.
		Fear of the SCUDS falling into the hands of terrorists may be one reason Washington chose to intercept them.

		The R-17 missile, better known in the West as Scud, became one of the irreversible legacies of the Cold War, which continued casting shadow on the international politics, long after the US and Russia normalized relationships at the end of the 1980s.
		The R-17 project became further reincarnation of a short-range R-11 (Scud) missile, the first Soviet rocket system that used storable propellants, thus eliminating the need for super-cold liquid oxygen, which was used in earlier missiles.
		In the secret negotiations with the US and Great Britain, which concluded in December 2003 with Muammar el-Qaddafi's decision to abandon weapons of mass destruction, Libyan officials told Western diplomats that their country had obtained Scud-C missiles with the range of 500 miles from North Korea.
