High-Caliber Soviet Rockets

[Vasily41]

Are there any pictures of TRS-190 and TRS-212 tube-launched rockets? I also hear there were rocket designs bigger than the S-25 (250mm)?

There was a RS-280, and the S-25 actually has a 340mm warhead.

Were there RS-203 and RS-305? I found ARS-280 rocket.

RS-203 and RS-305 aren't in Yefim Gordon's fairly exhaustive book.

I am aware of that for I own the book.

RS-203 and RS-245 rockets were developed and tested in 1930s. 305 mm rockets were built as concrete piercing bombs, BETAB-600DS and BETAB-750DS.

That is the book which doesn't have any anti-tank missile programs?

Correct. Contents are:

1. ‘Shoot ‘em Down’: The Air-to-Air Missiles
2. Guided Death from the Skies
3. Moving Mud: The Unguided Rockets
4. Bombs Away

Okay! I wanted to making sure I had a copy! It'd be nice if an updated edition was made: In addition to missing the anti-tank missiles, it lacked a discussion of doctrine or development in many cases, lacked CEP for unguided rockets (despite some information being published), lacked information on SPPU gunpods, and had a few minor errors... but I guess it is still the best English language book on the topic!
