Missile TR-1 Temp (SS-12 Scaleboard)

The TR-1 Temp, designated SS-12 Scaleboard by NATO, was a mobile theatre ballistic missile developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It entered service in the mid-1960s to provide theatre commanders with nuclear strike capability. A later modification was initially identified as the SS-22 before being recognized as a variant of the original system.

The 9M76 rocket is a single-stage liquid propellant missile utilizing an inertial guidance system. The SS-12 variant has a circular error probable of 750 meters, while the later variant has a circular error probable of 370 meters. The missile carries a single 500 kt nuclear warhead. The system is deployed on a road-mobile transporter erector launcher based on the MAZ-543 chassis. This launcher features an environmental protective cover that splits down the middle to expose the missile for launch.

The Soviet Armed Forces were the only operator of the TR-1 Temp. Missiles were stationed within the Soviet Union and forward-deployed to Warsaw Pact countries, including Czechoslovakia and East Germany. Deployment locations included Hranice in Czechoslovakia and Königsbrück, Bischofswerda, Waren, and Wokuhl in East Germany. From these positions, the system's reach included West Germany, the Netherlands, France, and parts of Scandinavia. The TR-1 Temp was decommissioned between 1988 and 1989 under the terms of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
