R-1 (missile)
The R-1 rocket (NATO reporting name SS-1 Scunner) (and its evolved version R-2 or SS-2 Sibling) was a copy of the German V-2 rocket manufactured by the Soviet Union. Even though it was a copy, it was manufactured using Soviet industrial plants and expertise, and gave the Soviets valuable experience which later enabled the USSR to construct its own much more capable rockets.
