Extract from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scud: "Scud is the NATO reporting name (not an acronym) for a Soviet army short-range liquid propellant surface-to-surface ballistic missile, the SS-1. [...] The name "Scud" is also used to refer to an Iraqi modification of the same missile." > by > Töns > -- > There is no safe distance. There is: more than 700kms for a Scud-D (aka: SS-1e) :-) -- Vincent RENARDIAS http://www.renardias.com/
