The P-15 Termit / SS-N-2 Styx – A Game-Changer in Naval Warfare
The P-15 Termit was the Soviet Union’s first operational anti-ship cruise missile, developed in the 1950s in response to Western naval advancements. Heavily inspired by World War II German rocket technology, this missile revolutionized modern naval combat and was widely exported to Soviet-aligned nations.
It gained international recognition in 1967 when Egyptian forces used it to sink the Israeli destroyer INS Eilat, marking the first time a warship was destroyed by a guided missile in combat. With a range of up to 80 kilometers (50 miles) and a powerful high-explosive warhead, the SS-N-2 Styx became a cornerstone of naval arsenals throughout the Cold War.
