Talk:SS-N-22

Developed for the Taiwan strait?

The SS-N-22 has been developed by Russia for use against United States Navy carrier battle groups, particularly in any confrontation in or near the Taiwan Strait.

Which of the two SS-N-22? And are there any sources for that? Sound's more like a paranoic speculation for me. Why should Russia (or the Soviet union) develope and deploy anti-ship missiles on their surface ships for the Taiwan Street to battle CVBG there, so far away from their home waters? - Alureiter 10:53, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

The SS-N-22 missles comes with the Sovremenny class destroyer which sold the People Republic of China years ago. Also I'll change a the wordings a little bit.--202.84.173.100 08:10, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

But which of the two (or three) missiles that NATO knew as SS-N-22 are we talking about at this point? Is it the newer P-270 Moskit, or do you mean by “years ago” to say that the Sovremennys sold to China are carrying the earlier weapon? After establishing that the SS-N-22 designation conflates a couple of different missile types, it makes sense to specify P-270 or P-80 or P-100. Unless it's unknown, in which case we should make that clear. --142.206.2.11 13:44, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Join with Moskit article?

Folks, there is the Moskit article for the same missile. I see an obvious reason to join them, turning this one into a redirect page. --jno 10:42, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Definitely join them

I aint sure it's ok just to join - now it looks like disambig page --jno 14:45, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

What could it disambiguate? Join and redirect. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 02:36, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Have you ever read it? P-80, P-100, and P-270 were known under this code. --jno 12:13, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Not noticed different propulsion; disambig for two versions of one missile would be useless; OK, maybe better to leave it, but change to make it more clear disambig. CP/M ^comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 14:04, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Is there anybody capable to do it right? --jno 09:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

and there are no articles on some Russian Anti-Ship Missiles, like SS-N-25 Switchblade and SS-N-27 Club. Should i create them?

sure! just avoid copy text from Jane's books. and use proper names:

• SS-N-25 Switchblade/AS-20 Kayak is Kh-35 3M24
• SS-N-27 Club is 3M51/3M54 "Alfa"

So who is going to merge the articles??? --Ŧħę௹ɛя㎥ 08:07, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

cute article

This appears to be a classic example of sourcing directly to POV --IcyEd (talk) 15:59, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

P-270 Warhead size

On the SS-N-22 page under P-270, near the beginning of the first paragraph it says "armed with a 300-kilogram warhead" and at the end of the same paragraph later it says "It can deliver a warhead of 320 kg".

On the P-270 Moskit page in the Info box it says "Warhead 320 kg" and in the Specifications it says "Warhead weight, kg 300".

Can someone clarify please. FerdinandFrog (talk) 11:59, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Citations and speculation

I have added inline citation needed tags for the last paragraph which is entirely un-cited. I would also recommend that the last line:

It is speculated that the PLA intends to use the missiles against carrier battle groups deployed by the United States Navy in the event of a confrontation with the Republic of China (Taiwan)

....should be deleted unless a strong verifiable source is found. In keeping with the encyclopaedic rules, the opposing position should also be presented e.g. This is denied by China.... --IcyEd (talk) 16:15, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Usage Name

A ref to its Sunburn name is needed.Connection (talk) 14:08, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Further missiles refered to as Sunburn

The article on Sovremenny-class destroyers mentions Moskit 2M80E as being SS-N-22 Sunburn.150.227.15.253 (talk) 11:47, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
