RPK-7 Veter (Template:Langx, "wind") is a 650 mm version, deployed operationally since 1984.<ref name=Polmar/>
Both missiles are given the same United States Navy designation SS-N-16 and NATO designation Stallion.<ref name=Polmar/>
Both missiles are torpedo-tube launched, with a solid-fuel rocket engine to power them above the surface.<ref name=Polmar/> Theys are dual-role and can be armed with either a 400 mm anti-submarine torpedo or a nuclear depth charge.<ref name=Polmar/>
The Veter's increased range of approximately 100 kilometers was an impressive boost over its predecessor the RPK-2 Vyuga, which could only reach half the distance.
