		 Bump! There is big problem with soviet radars in current DB.      Top Sail (MR-600 Voskhod) is D-band radar, i.e. wavelength 25-30 cm, not C-band.      Top Pair (MR-800 Flag) is mix of D-band Top Sail and C-band Big Net (MR-500 Kliver, incl MR-500U). So i cant be "early 60's tech", cause it is late 70's radar for the first line big ships.        WARNING! A HUGE FUNDAMENTAL MISTAKE IN CMO DB!      And no, there is no such thing as "SS-N-16 Stallion [RPK-7 Vodopei]". This 650mm stuff with 50+ nm range is called SS-N-16 Stallion or "RPK-7 Veter". It uses 86R, 88R, 100RU missiles.      533mm "SS-N-15 Starfish, shipborne, 86R missile" is called "SS-N-16 RPK-6M Vodopad" and it use "83R" missile, not 86R. In short it look like this:   For subs - SS-N-16 RPK-6 Vodopad - missile 83R (with topredo), missile 84R (nuke)   For ships - SS-N-16 RPK-6M Vodopad - missile 83RN (with torpedo), missile 84RN (nuke)      Yeah, btw, in fact SS-N-15 Starfish is a FAMILY of missiles. So it has 533mm and 650mm missiles, for subs and ships. So it has several different missiles of various diameters, platforms and payloads.   And SS-N-16 Stallion is a next generation FAMILY of missiles. So it has 533mm and 650mm missiles, for subs and ships. And about 7 different missiles too.      Therefore, the difference between SS-N-15 Starfish and SS-N-16 Stallion is not in caliber/diameter of missiles! This is an old mistake since Harpoon and apparently Palmer's-Jane's books! Starfish and Stallion are two different generations of missiles! Starfish is a generation of the 1970s. Stallion is a generation of the 1980s. So they have different POHs and so on...      So whole soviet system of ASW-missile designation looks like this:   FRAS-1 RPK-1 Vikhr   Only one missile - 82R (nuke)      SS-N-15 Starfish RPK-2 Vyuga   There was ONLY ONE type of complex which was actually fielded on subs - 533mm TT SS-N-15 Starfish RPK-2 Vyuga-53! And it had only ONE type of missiles - 81R (nuke). Vyuga-65 for submarine 650mm TTs was tested, but not fielded!      SS-N-16 Stallion   533mm TT:   For subs - SS-N-16 RPK-6 Vodopad - missile 83R (with topredo), missile 84R (nuke)   For ships - SS-N-16 RPK-6M Vodopad - missile 83RN (with torpedo), missile 84RN (nuke)      650mm TT:   For subs - SS-N-16 RPK-7 Veter - missile 86R (with torpedo), missile 88R (nuke), missile 100RU (upgraded with in-flight correction or export?)      Have a nice day.
