The SS-21 Scarab (Russian name: 9M79 "Tochka") is a Russian-made short-range mobile ballistic missile. The Tochka-U is an improved version of the Tochka using a new missile propellant to increase the range to 120 km and an improved CEP (Circular Error Probable) to less than 95 m. The improved Scarab B (Tochka-U) passed state tests from 1986 to 1988 and was introduced in 1989.
