The 9K52 Luna-M (Russian: Луна; English: moon) is a Soviet short-range ballistic missile complex. Luna-M missiles are unguided and spin-stabilized. "9K52" is its GRAU designation. Its NATO reporting name is FROG-7.
The name “FROG” comes from then NATO designation of Free-Rocket-Over-Ground. The FROG-7 missiles were mounted on a wheeled 9P113 transporter erector launcher (TEL) based the ZIL-135 8x8 army truck. The TEL features a large hydraulic crane used for reloading missiles from 9T29 transporter (also ZIL-135 based). The FROG-7 (A or B model) has a range up to 70 km and a CEP (circular error probable) between 500m and 700m. The road mobile rocket has a 550 kg warhead and is capable of delivering high explosive, nuclear, or chemical warheads. The FROG-7 was first introduced in 1965. The FROG-7 was extensively deployed throughout Soviet satellite states. The rocket has been extensively exported and is now in the possession of a large number of countries. After the war with Iran, Iraq modified its stock of Frog-7s by extending their range to 90 km and fitting a submunition-carrying warhead. The rocket was renamed Laith-90
