RSS (S-30) project by N.V.Tsybin

In 1953 N.V.Tsybin started working on a project of heavy guided missile RSS (S-30) within S.P.Korolev's OKB-1. Missile was designed for strategic bombers A-57 and M-50 (under development by R.L.Bartini and V.M.Myasichev) or by specially modified Tu-95-S30. Flight control and aiming of the RSS had to be performed by operator(s) at the carrier aircraft (sheep-and-Shepard scheme).

Soon it became clear that range of reliable aiming does not allow the carrier to evade 'potential enemy' anti-aircraft defenses. At the time self-guided systems were introduced (including ones using stars), and project was cancelled. Team switched to a single-seat strategic supersonic bomber (project RS).
