An Assessment of the Basic Design and Performance Based on a Heavily Retouched Photograph of a Large Ballistic Missile which was published in the December 4, 1962, edition of Kransnaya Zvezda (‘Red Star’). FOR the first time in any open literature source, the December 4, 1962, edition of Kransnaya Zvezda or Red Star, the daily newspaper of the Soviet Department of Defence, carried a very heavily retouched photograph of a very large ballistic missile with a caption describing the missile as their strategic rocket ready for launch. This photograph of a large rocket had obviously been heavily retouched so that little of its detail construction was identifiable. The rocket itself appears to have been cut out and pasted on to a photograph of a winter scene (fig. 1).
