1 Designation Systems

1.1 NATO Reporting Names for Aircraft and Missiles

The NATO uses so-called "Reporting Names" when referring to aircraft and missiles of FSU (Former Soviet Union) states and the People's Republic of China. Reporting names for aircraft are selected by the ASIC (Air and Space Interoperability Council; renamed in 2005 from ASCC, Air Standardization Coordinating Committee - member states are Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA and UK), but names for missiles (and other systems like radars etc.) are created by other organizations. However, all reporting names are eventually forwarded to NATO in a single list.

Fixed-wing aircraft are designated by reporting names beginning with code letters designating the aircraft's mission. Propeller-driven planes are designated by single-syllabic words (e.g. "Bear"), and jets by multi-syllabic words (e.g. "Backfire"). Helicopters and guided missiles are designated similarly, but the length of a word is not defined.

Code letters:

A - Air-to-Air Missile B - Bomber C - Cargo F - Fighter G - Surface-to-Air Missile (including Anti-Ballistic Missiles) H - Helicopter K - Air-to-Surface Missile M - Miscellaneous (all aircraft not included in other categories) S - Surface-to-Surface Missile

Variants of aircraft and missiles are designated by suffix letters, for example "Bear-A" ("I" and "O" are not used). Small updates are designated "Mod." and Roman numeral suffixes, for example "Bear-F Mod.IV". Sometimes a variant is designated by adding the word "Modified", but only two examples are known: "Badger-C Modified" and "Badger-G Modified". More recently, subtypes of a variant are sometimes designated by adding numerical suffixes, like in "Fulcrum-A2" or "Foxbat-

B5". Yet another method to designate subtypes is the suffix "variant n", where n starts from 1. An example is "Flanker-E variant 1" and "Flanker-E variant 2".

The code naming system was originally used for Soviet types only, but was later also used for Chinese aircraft and missiles.

1.2 DOD Designations for Missiles

This system differs radically from the NATO one, and is slightly similar to the American joint missile designation system of 1947. Designations consist of an alphabetic code and a sequential model number.

Code letters:

AA - Air-to-Air Missile ABM - Anti-Ballistic Missile AS - Air-to-Surface Missile AT - Anti-Tank Missile DR - Drone FRAS - Unguided ASW Rocket ("Free Rocket Anti-Submarine") FROG - Unguided Artillery Rocket ("Free Rocket Over Ground") SA - Surface-to-Air Missile SA-N - Naval Surface-to-Air Missile SL - Space Booster ("Space Launcher") SS - Surface-to-Surface Missile SSC - Surface-to-Surface Missile (Navy, Coastal Defence) SS-N - Naval Surface-to-Surface Missile SUW-N - Naval Surface-to-Underwater Missile

Notes: 1. Beginning in 1962, the letter "X" is inserted before the number in the designations of experimental missiles. Examples are "SS-X-10" and "SS-NX-25". 2. Later this designation system was also used for Chinese missiles, but the letter "C" is added in front of the code letters, for example "CSS-5", "CSS-NX-5".

1.3 Sheldon Designations for Space Launchers

The Western designation system for Soviet boosters was devised in the early 1960s by Charles Sheldon of the U.S. Library of Congress. It is based on allocation of letters to families of launchers, and variants are designated by suffix numbers and letters. For example "Family A" included the boosters for Sputnik 1, Sputnik 2, Vostok and Soyuz, and Sputnik 1/2 were designated "A", Vostok was "A-1", and Soyuz was "A-1-m". In addition, suffix letters are sometimes used to characterize a rocket:

e - "escape velocity" (planetary probes) h - "high performance" (heavy loads and special purpose) m - "maneuverable" (Anti-Satellite weapons) r - "reentry" (reconnaissance and scientific capsules) s - "sustain" (for station keeping and nuclear reactor kick-up)

2 List of Designations for Rockets and Missiles

Disclaimer The DOD designations and NATO reporting names are classified. Most of

the designations and names have been "leaked" over the time, especially for missiles which are no longer in use. However, names of the latest missiles

and the suffix letters for the variants are often only guessed by the aerospace press. Strictly speaking, all DOD designations and NATO names in the

missile listings below must be regarded as unconfirmed. This is especially true for the variant designations.

Notes:

There is often some confusion whether a certain Soviet/Russian designation or name refers to the missile itself or the whole missile system. Therefore it's possible that some data in the "Missile" column really should go into the "Missile System" column and vice versa.

For surface-to-air missiles, the DOD codes (SA-n, ABM-n) often refer to the whole system (including radars etc.), while the NATO code names refer to the actual missiles.

If applicable, variants of a missile are detailed immediately behind the "main" entry, in the field with smaller type and gray background.

ABM-4

Gazelle (note 5)

53T6 53T6M A-135

Gorgon 51T6

55T6 (note 6)

Notes: 1. "Gaffer" has also been reported as the name of the V-400 surface-to-air missile. One of the two name associations must be erroneous. 2. The designation ABM-X-2 was assigned to a projected upgrade of the A-35 ABM system, using GALOSH missiles and new radars. The ABM-X-2 system, probably identical to the cancelled "Avrora", was not proceeded with. 3. The designation ABM-X-3 probably referred to the S-225 system, but this is unconfirmed. 4. It's possible that the ABM-X-3A/B designations for the 5Ya26/5Ya27 missiles are reversed. 5. The 53T6 Gazelle missile is identified as ABM-3 in most sources, but this is doubtful if ABM-4 is indeed

the designation for the whole A-135 system (of which the 53T6 is one component). 6. The 55T6 missile is a successor of the 51T6.

3. "Gaffer" has also been reported as the name of the V-1000 anti-ballistic missile. One of the two name associations must be erroneous. 4. Unconfirmed DOD designations for the SA-4 include SA-4A (for the 9M8) and SA-4B (for the 9M8Mx). 5. The designation SA-5 for the "Dal" system was dropped, after "Dal" had been cancelled. 6. Unconfirmed DOD/NATO designations for the SA-6 include SA-6A (for the 9M9) and SA-6B Gainful Mod.1 (for the 9M9Mx). 7. Unconfirmed DOD designations for the SA-8 include SA-8A (for the 9M33) and SA-8B (for the 9M33Mx). 8. Unconfirmed DOD designations for the SA-9 include SA-9A (for the 9M31) and SA-9B (for the 9M31M). 9. The S-300V system uses two types of missiles (long and medium range). These missiles start from different launchers, and therefore NATO assigned different reporting names to them. 10. The S-400 system (a.k.a. S-300PM-3) shares many components with the S-300PM-1/2 system, including the 48N6 and 9M96 series missiles.

Note: The DOD assigns separate designations to naval and land-based missiles, while NATO assigns the same code name. DOD designations for the land-based equivalents of the missiles are shown in blue.

Notes: 1. The missile system designations are mostly those which usually appear in Soviet-American treaties. 2. I have no idea why the SS-1 designator was reused for the Scud. 3. Unconfirmed variant designations for Saddler include Saddler Mod.1 (for the R-16) and Saddler Mod.2 (for the R-16U). 4. The SS-22 was redesignated as SS-12B. 5. Unconfirmed variant designations for Savage include Savage Mod.1 (for the RT-2) and Savage Mod.2 (for the RT-2P). 6. SS-X-26 was originally allocated to the cancelled RSS-40 Kurier (small ICBM). 7. The Pioner-UTTKh system with the 15Zh53 missile was possibly redesignated as SS-X-28. 8. The RS-24 system's missile is a land-mobile, MIRVed development of the RT-12PM2 Topol-M silo-based ICBM. The SS-29 designation should be regarded as unconfirmed.

Notes: 1. The SS-N-1B designation is obviously a direct "navalization" of SS-1B. 2. SS-NX-10 was erroneously allocated to SS-N-14. 3. SS-N-11 was redesignated as SS-N-2C. 4. The D-5K was never operational, and therefore didn't receive a NATO name. 5. SS-N-25 is the surface-to-surface version of the AS-20 (Kh-35).

4 List of Designations for Soviet/Russian Aircraft

Disclaimer The NATO/ASIC(ASCC) reporting names are classified. Most of the names have been "leaked" over the time, especially for aircraft which are no longer

in use. However, names of the latest aircraft and the suffix letters for the variants are often only guessed by the aerospace press. Strictly speaking, all NATO/ASIC(ASCC) names in the aircraft listings below must be regarded

as unconfirmed. This is especially true for the variant designations.

Note: NATO names in brackets were originally assigned, but later replaced for various reasons.

Notes: 1. The Su-24 is incorrectly identified as a fighter, probably because of its external similarity with F-111. It is actually a tactical bomber. 2. The MR/MP suffixes for the Fencer-E/F might be reversed. 3. The Fishbed-E designator for the MiG-21F-13 was probably short-lived. Fishbed-E is often quoted as MiG-21S or -21PFS, but this is incorrect. 4. The Su-15TM with modified radome was incorrectly identified as "Su-21" in the West. 5. There are subvariant designations Foxbat-B2, Foxbat-B3, Foxbat-B4 and Foxbat-B5. Exact allocations are unknown, but aircraft include the MiG-25RBV and MiG-25RBT. 6. There are several sources, which list MiG-25RBK/RBT/RBF as Foxbat-D. 7. The Su-25 is incorrectly identified as a fighter for unknown reasons. It is actually a heavy ground attack aircraft (shturmovik). 8. The Tu-10 probably never existed. 9. There are subvariant designations Fulcrum-A Variant 1 through Variant 4, which differ in production details.

Notes: 1. Originally training variants of combat aircraft were designated with a new name (e.g. MiG-21 "Fishbed", MiG-21U "Mongol"). This practice has been discontinued, and today training aircraft are designated as variants of the combat aircraft (e.g. MiG-29 "Fulcrum-A", MiG-29UB "Fulcrum-B"). 2. Many sources quote the designation Il-87 for "Maxdome", but Il-80 is most likely the correct one. 3. This variant is sometimes labeled "Il-38M", which is probably incorrect.

5 Other DOD Designations for Soviet Aircraft and Missiles

5.1 "Type" Numbers (1947-1955)

A designation consisted of the word "Type" and a single number to indentify the type of aircraft, e.g. "Type 39" for the Tupolev Tu-16. Numbers were assigned in strict numerical sequence. The system was cancelled in 1955 because it was obviously impractical in the long run.

Type ASCC/NATO (note 1)

Type 37 Bison Myasishchev M-4

Type 38 Fresco Mikoyan MiG-17

Type 39 Badger Tupolev Tu-16

Type 40 Bear Tupolev Tu-95

Notes: 1. Not all aircraft with a "Type" designation had ASCC/NATO names allocated. 2. These aircraft have nothing in common with later aircraft with the same designation (a Russian speciality!) 3. In essentially all published lists of "Type" numbers, the numbers 13, 17-20, 22, 24 and 38 are described as follows:

Type 13 (not assigned)

Type 17 Sukhoy Su-11 (1st)

Type 18 Sukhoy Su-15 (1st)

Type 19 Mikoyan KS-1 Kometa (air-to-surface missile, DOD code AS-1)

Type 20 Mikoyan MiG-17

Type 22 Tupolev Tu-2R (Tu-6)



The corrected data, as presented here, has been provided by Mr. Helge Bergander, who obtained his information from detailed analysis of original Soviet documents of the time. In the original table, the entry #20 was suspected to erroneous anyway, because the MiG-17 was out of timeline. Numbers 18, 19, 21, 22 etc. were allocated to aircraft which were first seen around 1949, while the MiG-17 didn't fly before 1950 and didn't appear in public before 1954. The slot #38 is much more plausible for the MiG-17.

5.2 Codes for Research and Prototype Aircraft

The DOD assigned preliminary codes to newly discovered Soviet or Chinese aircraft, which had not yet been identified. A designation consisted of a code for the place of identification, and a sequential letter.

List of codes for Soviet locations:

CASP - Caspian Sea KAZ - Kazan NOVO - GAZ-153 factory airfield (Novosibirsk) RAM - Ramenskoye (Moskow) SIB - SibNIA Research Facility (Novosibirsk) TAG - Taganrog (Black Sea)

List of codes for Chinese locations:
