The 9K79 Tochka (NATO code: SS-21 Scarab) is a Soviet, and currently Russian, tactical missile set on a wheeled platform, using missiles from the 9M79 family. The length of the projectile is 640 cm with a diameter of 650 millimeters. The take-off weight reaches 2,000 kilograms, and the missile can carry a warhead weighing up to 482 kilograms, including tactical nuclear warheads with a capacity of 10 kT. The range of the missile, in the Scarab B version, is probably up to 120 kilometers.

Research and development works on the Toczka 9K79 missile system started in the mid-1960s. Initially, a radio command guidance system was set up, but it was abandoned relatively quickly and the aim was to create a fire-and-forget missile with an inertial guidance system. Ultimately, the new missile system began entering service in 1978-1979, and on a larger scale - from 1981. Initially, this type of weapon was used at the division level, but over time they began to be created as independent brigades. 9K79 Toczka was also exported to the Warsaw Pact countries, including Poland. It joined our armed forces in 1987, and it was withdrawn from the line in 2005. The 9K79 Toczka missile system is dedicated to destroying surface targets, such as ammunition depots, but also point targets - e.g. enemy fireplaces. The weapon was used in combat, among others, during the Russian-Georgian war in 2008.
