YemenThe SSC-3 “Styx” is a short-range, ground-launched, liquid fuel propelled, single warhead, surface-to-surface missile developed and manufactured by Russia. The “Styx” was the first surface-launched anti-ship missile to be used in combat, and remains one of the world’s most widely deployed anti-ship missiles.
Development of the SS-N-2/SSC-3 “Styx” family of anti-ship weapons began in the mid-1950s. The missiles, which were designated P-15 Termit (4K40) and P-27 (4K51), are believed to have been designed by the Mikoyan/Berezniak OKB-155. In October 1967, a series of engagements took place between Egyptian and Israeli naval vessels, marking the first use of anti-ship missiles in naval warfare. On October 21, two Egyptian Project 183R (Komar) missile boats attacked the Israeli destroyer Eilat off the Egyptian coast. Two “Styx” missiles struck the ship, which sank two hours later. At the time, the sinking of the Eilat was a considerable shock to navies around the world, especially those within NATO. It was the first clear indication of the threat posed by such weapons. The incident led to increased anti-ship cruise missile development in the West, leading to such designs as the French Exocet and the U.S. Harpoon.
The SSC-3 “Styx” is the land-based coastal defense variant of the SS-N-2, and first entered service in 1988. The missile is 6.5 m in length, has a body diameter of 0.78 m, and a launch weight of 2,500 kg. Midcourse guidance is autopilot, with an active radar in the terminal phase. It is powered by a liquid propellant motor, has a range of 80 km, and carries a 513 kg high explosive warhead. The SSC-3 “Styx” has been fitted to “Modified Kashin” (Type 61M) destroyers, “Koni” class frigates, “Tarantul 1/2” and “Nanuchka” class missile corvettes, “Osa 1/2” class fast attack craft, and “Matka” class hydrofoils.
The SSC-3 “Styx” has been exported to China where it was designated SY-1. It has been modified by the Chinese as the HY-1 (CSSC-2 “Silkworm”) and HY-2 (CSSC-3 “Seersucker”), and further developed as the HY-4. It has also been exported to Iraq where it was developed into the FAW family of missiles. Iran has also developed a copy of the SSC-3 “Styx” known as the Pirouzi-75.(1)
