R-12 Dvina

The R-12 Dvina (Russian: Р-12 «Двина»; English: Dvina) was a theatre ballistic missile developed and deployed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Its GRAU designation was 8K63, and it was given the NATO reporting name of SS-4 Sandal. The R-12 rocket provided the capability to attack targets at medium ranges with a megaton-class nuclear warhead and constituted the bulk of the Soviet offensive missile threat to Western Europe. Deployments of the R-12 missile in Cuba caused the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The number of total missile produced were 2335; however, all were destroyed in 1993 under the Soviet and US Arms Control Treaty
