Summary

Description
English: The P-15 Termit (Russian for “termite”) or Styx (NATO code name) is a surface-to-surface, anti-ship missile that the Soviet Navy put into service in l958. A solid fuel booster (not shown here) launched the missile, and a built-in turbojet engine sustained its flight.

The Soviet Union supplied its allies with these missiles, some of which saw action in combat. On October 21, 1967, almost five months alter the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War. Egyptian Termit missiles sank the Israeli destroyer Eilat. Picture taken at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, USA.
