UR-100 ballistic missile family
The UR-100 missile developed at Vladimir Chelomei's design bureau in the town of Reutov near Moscow became the most numerous ICBM deployed in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Since mid-1960s, several generations of the UR-100-based missiles have been developed.
The mass production of the missile at Khrunichev enterprise in Moscow stopped around 1990, however the already deployed missiles remained in the armaments of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces for the next decade. The UR-100NU missile also became a base for Rockot and Strela launch vehicles, developed respectively by Khrunichev and NPO Mashinostroenia.
