Tactical missile system 9K79 Tochka

The famous Tochka tactical missile system (SS-21 or OTR-21), adopted in the USSR in 1975, embodied all the qualities that such a weapon should have possessed. Highly mobile launching and transport-loading vehicles make it almost impossible for them to be preemptively destroyed by the enemy, and a powerful high-precision missile provides rapid and guaranteed destruction. The Soviet command attached great importance to this system. Its creation was the most important state task, in the solution of which about 120 different design bureaus and scientific organizations were involved. The Tochka has been used in various conflicts and has proven its highest effectiveness. During the fighting in the North Caucasus region of Russia, the Tochka missiles attacked clusters of Islamic terrorists, their camps and training bases, sometimes destroying hundreds of people at a time. The reconnaissance of these targets was carried out using satellites and MiG-25RBT. In 2015, Houthi rebels in Yemen destroyed the coalition base near Marib with a single launch of the Tochka. The effectiveness of the Tochka made such an impression on the Houthis that they composed a song about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttMVwK_yexo
