P-15 Termit

The P-15 Termit is a Soviet anti-ship missile developed in the 1950s and later exported. It is designed to target large surface ships, such as aircraft carriers and cruisers, by flying at low altitudes to avoid radar detection. The missile is launched from various platforms, including ships, submarines, and coastal sites. Its guidance system combines radar and inertial navigation, enabling it to track targets accurately over long distances. The P-15 Termit played a significant role in naval warfare during the Cold War, and its design influenced future missile developments.
