M-1 Universal rocket system Wave

The launchers were placed on the roof of the superstructure in the bow (region 52.5) and in the stern (region 204.5). The ZIF-101 (see projections) was a paired, open, stabilized bollard type launcher with bottom suspension of two missiles on two guide beams. Cellars of missile ammunition (No. 4 - bow, No. 8 - stern) with drum storage system of missiles had two vertical drums for eight anti-aircraft guided missiles (SAM) each. On the charging line, the missile was fed by turning the drum at an angle of 45 °, and mechanical charging was carried out by a chain pusher. Electric power drive (ESP-101) and remote control provided the functioning of the launcher. The standard equipment of the missile cellar - 15 combat and 1 training missile. Serial production of PU ZIF-101 was set up at the plant "Barrikady" in Volgograd.

Following the PU ZIF-101, a tandem unit ZIF-102 was created. The principal difference of the new PU was the feeding of rockets of conveyor type instead of drum type. As a result the ammunition of one PU has increased from 16 to 32 missiles.

In total, the M-1 complex with ZIF-101 PU was armed with 20 ships pr.61, 61 M and 61 MP (one for Poland); 4 ships pr.58; one pr.56K; 8 pr.56A; and 5 ships pr.61ME (built for India). The M-1 complex with ZIF-102 PU received 4 ships of Ave. The M-1 complex with PU Mill-102 received 4 ships of 1134 Ave., 3 ships of 56U project, and 8 ships of 57A project.

B-600 and its later variants are two-stage rockets with powder engines made according to the aerodynamic scheme "duck". The first stage is equipped with four post-launch stabilizers and a powder jet engine (PRD-36). PRD-36 is equipped with 14 single-channel cylindrical powder draughts (made of NMF-ZK powder) with total weight of 280 kg. The engine of the second stage is equipped with one draughtsman weighing 125 kg, powder brand NM-4Sh. The 4G-90 shrapnel-flag warhead is equipped with ready-made attack elements. The total weight of the combat unit is 60 kg, of which 32-33 kg is the weight of TNT alloy with hexogen. The "Strait" (5E15) radio detonator operates at misses of up to 58 m. Combat unit 4G-90 gives 3560-3570 pieces with an average weight of about 5.4 gr. Response time of the self-destructor is 26 sec.

The B-601 missile differed from the B-600 only by its marching engine design and had a new combat unit. The marching engine had a new 150 kg draughtsman made of "301" powder. The new combat unit 5B18 was designed by NII-6. On tests it gave about 4500 pieces weighing 4.72 - 4.79 kg. The new combat unit provided target engagement with a probability of 0.75 - 0.90 on a miss of 20 m and probability of 0.6 on a miss of 25-47 m. To install the B-601 missile on the ZIF-101 PU it was necessary to improve the missile's marching mount. Besides, the Yatagan control system underwent some modernization.

At rocket launch the first (launch) stage works within 5 s, developing a thrust of 30 t, and the second (marching) - about 22 s, developing a thrust of 3 t.

The missile guidance method is optimal straightening and covering of the target. When shooting at low-flying targets, the method of pointing "Horka" is added to this.

The Yatagan firing control system was developed at the Research Institute of 10 GKRE, and the equipment for the antenna post drives was developed at the Central Research Institute of 173. The Yatagan system is a set of instruments and devices providing reception and target designation from the ship's radar detection station, target and missile tracking on the trajectory, prelaunch preparation and launch of missiles, development of control commands to point missiles at the target. The missile was guided by the radar until the radar detonator was triggered. The disadvantage of this radio command system is its single-channel accuracy, as well as a sharp decrease in accuracy of firing with increasing distance to the target (see the area of engagement of the Wave SAM system with B-600).

Each antenna post of the Yatagan system had five antennas. Two small antennas provided so-called "rough" guidance to the target, one antenna acted as a radio transmitter for operator commands, and two large antennas accompanied the target and more accurately guided the missile. Until one target was hit, it was impossible to fight a second, third, etc. target.
