Sure. I like your work, because I can draw information and motivation from it.

A smooth resumption with a rocket already presented, the Cosmos C1 but this time in Interkosmos colours.

It was one of the most powerful weapons of all time.
The R-36M missile, SS-18, codenamed Satan for NATO, could deliver 8 nuclear warheads of 0.8 megatons or 1 of 20 megatons (133 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb) at 16,000 kilometers.
But as a Russian proverb says:
"Чорт под под старость в монахи пошел".
"When the devil grows old, he becomes a hermit".
As a result of disarmament agreements and the modernization of its arsenal, the SS-18 Satan leaves the service of deterrence but is not destroyed.
Equipped with a modified third stage, it is converted into cheap satellite launchers under the name "Dnieper".
22 launches from 1999 to 2015. The launch is carried out directly from the buried silo:

Really nice looking models, I like the way you build, very tight and clean. Where do you get the stands?

Very nice and very instructive collection! I knew these great Narod models for having built them ........but I did not know their story which you illustrate in a magnificent way !!

Glad to follow you too on this forum !!!

Thank you Jean!

And now, some models from the Tsiklon family with a tumultuous history.
These launchers are a variation of the intercontinental missile R36 (SS-9 Scarp).
My first model represents the Tsiklon 2 (106 shots from 1969 to 2006, mainly military ocean surveillance satellites).

Great work!

However, I must confess. I am jealous of your building productivity!

You're not alone!

Experts from North Korea envy such productivity!

Thanks for your comments.

Tsiklon 2 was succeeded in 1977 by Tsyklon 3, which had a re-ignitable third stage.
122 launches from the Plesetsk cosmodrome until 2009.
