Historical information and purpose of the KS-1 / KRM AS-1 Kennel missile

The KS-1 missile, known in the West under the NATO code name AS-1 Kennel, was introduced into service by the USSR in the 1950s. It was the first Soviet turbojet-powered air-to-surface anti-ship missile, designed mainly to combat large surface vessels—especially American aircraft carriers and landing ships. The main operators of this missile were the Soviet Air Forces, and the weapon systems were based on Tu-4K and Tu-16K bombers. The AS-1 Kennel missile became a symbol of Soviet military might during the Cold War, remaining in service until the end of the 1960s.
