Missile Weapon System
Missile #1
Name
SS-N-22 Sunburn
Type
Anti-Ship Missile
Launcher
2 x quad P-100 Moskit-M 3M83 SSM
Note
SS-N-22 Sunburn is the NATO reporting name for two unrelated Soviet anti-ship missiles. Although the missiles were very different, distinguishing between them is difficult because their ship-mounted launching containers were identical. Confusion was exacerbated by the Soviet practice of mixing missile types within a class of ships. It was therefore not confirmed that the "SS-N-22" actually referenced two different missiles until after the fall of the Soviet Union.
