The Makeyev OKB was formed in the 1950's to put into production the storable-liquid fuel R-11 and naval R-11FM missiles. It went on to design and manufacture the descendents of these missiles, the infamous Scud-B and nearly all of Russia's submarine-launched ballistic missiles. In the 1990's Makeyev and other OKB's marketed a confusing array of surplus SLBM-derived launch vehicles, launched from the ground, air, sea, or underwater.
