This is the FKR-1 (KS-7) - a modification of the KS-1 with ground launch. Development of the KS-1 began in 1947 (according to Government Decree #3140-1026 from September 8, 1947), the FKR-1 - in 1954, the FKR-1 was accepted for service in 1957, and production began already in 1956. The KS-1 was adopted for service in November 1952.

PS. No one in their right mind in the post-war USSR would have set a deadline for delivery of a completely new type of armament, which required mastering many new technologies, less than a year after the work started. This was well understood by both Stalin and Beria, who supervised missile technologies. By the way, the KS-1 is a rare example when all the characteristics of the prototype exceeded the specified ones.
