Primarily developed as an engineering test system with limited operational capability, the '''V-1000''' was the first Soviet anti-ballistic missile (ABM), succeeded by the A-35 (missile). Development began in 1956, flight testing took place in the early 1960s, and it was officially retired in 1973.
 
There is a good deal of confusion between this missile and a subsequent Soviet surface-to-air missile, because NATO and the Defense Intelligence Agency, for reasons never rationally explained, reused the '''SA-5''' designation. This was known as the '''SA-5 GRIFFON'''. The '''SA-5 GAMMON''', however, is the Soviet S-200 (missile).

Primarily developed as an engineering test system with limited operational capability, the V-1000 was the first Soviet anti-ballistic missile (ABM), succeeded by the A-35 (missile). Development began in 1956, flight testing took place in the early 1960s, and it was officially retired in 1973.

There is a good deal of confusion between this missile and a subsequent Soviet surface-to-air missile, because NATO and the Defense Intelligence Agency, for reasons never rationally explained, reused the SA-5 designation.
