Talk:K-8 (missile)

Old talk
Czechoslovakia didn't use this missile just because Czechoslovakia didn't have any carrier for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.176.48.24 (talk) 09:12, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Anab?
Could someone with a philiogical background comment on the word Anab? Reporting names like Apex or Aracher (AA-7 & AA-11) make more sense, but what does that word mean? A combination of A and the verb (to) nab?

Maybe one day espionage data will be declassified for research on how such names were chosen and by whom...

 * The only Anab I'm familiar with is the name of a town near Hebron in the Middle East. And here I had always misread the call name as Ahab.  The Dark 17:58, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe - and it's just a guess - that it may refer to the Judean town of Anab from which Joshua expelled the Anakim, a sort of fallen heavenly being. Askari Mark (Talk) 04:23, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

"Kaliningrad"
Why was it named after Kaliningrad, the post-1945 Russian name of the former German city of Königsberg? Sca (talk) 21:59, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not. The designation refers to the former name of Korolyov, Moscow Oblast, where it was designed. ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 09:21, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
