No doubt similar systems were installed on the soviet ICBMs, probably still in use today.

- krisoft 4y ago> No doubt similar systems were installed on the soviet ICBMs I very much doubt it. This is a display unit. Has zero purpose on an uncrewed system. Furthermore ballistic missiles remain suborbital. This device is usefull to track your position on orbit. Ballistic missiles don’t reenter using retro rockets, so showing the reentry point to the no-existing crew in case they activate the non-existing retro rockets has limited usefullness either. In short ICBM’s don’t have this or similar systems for the same reasons they don’t have cuckoo clocks. They are not usefull there.
- c-smile 4y agoNot exactly, but 8K67 ( NATO: SS-9 "Scarp" and probably SS-19 "Satan" ) had so called ГСП (gyro-stabilized platform) - mechanical device that kept start position orientation. All flight calculations were made against that position. Very cool device inside. And it was damned precise - allowed to hit targets with 100 meters precision (if I remember that right) on the other side of the globe.
