About this listen
From SCUDs and Tochkas to Iskanders and drones, these countries are balancing legacy and new tech.
The dissolution of the Soviet Union entailed not only the redrawing of political borders, but also the redistribution of one of the most extensive and technologically sophisticated missile infrastructures ever assembled. Across the newly independent states, missile brigades, launch platforms, storage facilities, airbases, and elements of an integrated military-industrial system remained in place, embedded within national territories that had only just acquired sovereignty.
This overview examines the development of military missile technologies and long-range missile systems in the former Soviet republics, excluding Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltic states (which were covered in previous installments of this series). The trajectory of these programs was shaped decisively by the legacy of the Soviet armed forces, whose units, logistical networks, and technical personnel were stationed across the republics at the time of the USSR’s dissolution.
