Talk:Scud missile

message: In the article it says:
The Iraqi modifications increased both range and inaccuracy. 
Do we mean this did or did not accuracy increase?
:read the rest of the article again, and you'll know that INaccuracy increased indeed. When I first read this, I found this a hilarious way of expressing things, although arguably not the most clear....
Someone stated "This article should be merged with R-1 rocket".  I dis-agree, even this page says the SS-1 was based upon lessons learned from the R-1 program.  Why should they be merged?
I agree with the last post here. I see no reason this page should be merged with R-1 rocket
87.246.23.1 has removed Bulgaria from the list of countries possessing Scuds. I have reverted that since as far as I can tell they still had them recently. Is there any evidence to the contrary? --xyzzy_n 15:14, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

message: In the article it is stated:
"in response to Iranian missile strikes against Baghdad, in response Iraq fired 190 Scud missiles at Iranian cities including Tehran"
However the article on the Iran-Iraq War has no mention of this; is it possible to verify this fact - if true, thenthe Iran Iraq War article should be updated and a reference provided; if not this article should be updated.

replies: text: There is mention of missile bombing in that article. Anyway, I’ve added a reference; it’s far from perfect (talking only about Tehran and 160 missiles), but at least it documents something quite similar to what the article claims. I’ll defer finding a better reference to the experts. —xyzzyn 15:07, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: In view of Wikipeda's current policy on Trivia and x in Popular Culture-type sections, I'm not sure any mention of an Australian tennis player is warranted here, irrespective of how he may have acquired his nickname.
In fact, I would propose deleting this Trivia section outright. – Adammgriggs 22:35, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I am disambiguating links for Persian Gulf War. The section Scud#Operational_use uses the link to Persian Gulf War, but I cannot tell which Persian Gulf War it refers to. Please fix this link, or tell me which war it refers to and I can fix the link myself. Thank you. Macduffman (talk) 21:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: An IP changed all instances of "Gulf war" to "Persian gulf war". For clarity and consistency, i reverted that edit. All references are to the Gulf War.  --Raoulduke47 (talk) 22:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: This article mentions chugging, but doesn't explain what it means. It is a technical term for bad behavior of rockets? wiktionary refers to things like the noises made by a labouring engine, but it is not clear why exactly that is bad for rockets. It would probably be best to have a definition of the term or use a different expression. Tweisbach (talk) 03:25, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The "Scud Attacks" section is disorganized and too focused around a single Patriot missile timing issue.   Most of it is a quotation from an original research paper.  Can we trim this section to focus on scud attacks and just mention the Patriot missile event?

message: The article right now says that NATO named it Scud, but doesn't explain how they came up with that word.  Was it just a random combination of letters?  207.215.78.126 (talk) 19:51, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a Scud disambiguation page with a bunch of "Scuds" that probably predate the missile, I'm guessing it was probably named after the shrimp-like creature. But speaking of which, why is this article named "Scud"? There's a whole bunch of articles on Russian missiles that use their Russian names rather than their NATO codenames (for example, "R-73" rather than "AA-11 Archer"). —Masterblooregard (talk) 06:12, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

message: Prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 there were scuds launched by Iraq at Kuwait and I believe Israel.  I was in Kuwait SW of Ali Al Salem Air Base during these launches.  I believe one hit a closed mall or movie theater in Kuwait City and another was taken down by Patriot missiles over Ali Al Salem Air Base.  There were also other launches that I have no first hand knowledge of.  
I see no mention of these 2003 launches in the article and my first hand experience does not count as a source.  Does anyone have access to source material?Plmerry (talk) 19:55, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
