The '''RT-1''' was an early [[intercontinental ballistic missile]] design that was tested but not deployed by the [[Soviet Union]] during the [[Cold War]].  It was not assigned a [[NATO reporting name]], but did carry the [[GRAU index]] '''8K95'''.<ref name=Chertok>{{cite book |last=Chertok |first=Boris |editor1-last=Siddiqui|editor1-first=Asif|date=2009|title=Rockets and People, Volume 3: Hot Days of the Cold War|url=http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/636007main_RocketsPeopleVolume3-ebook.pdf|url-status=live |publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office |isbn=9780160817335|access-date=2 June 2020|page=170|chapter=Correcting the Great Ones’ Mistakes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130626032927/http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/636007main_RocketsPeopleVolume3-ebook.pdf|archivedate=June 26, 2013|editor-link=Asif Azam Siddiqi|author-link=Boris Chertok}} [https://archive.org/details/rocketspeoplehot03cher Alt URL]</ref>

Development was led by [[OKB-1]] ([[S. P. Korolev]]),<ref name=Chertok /> and a total of nine flight tests were carried out, of which the two first failed, with the last launch taking place in June 1963.<ref>{{cite book |last=Chertok |first=Boris |editor1-last=Siddiqui|editor1-first=Asif|date=2009|title=Rockets and People, Volume 3: Hot Days of the Cold War|url=http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/636007main_RocketsPeopleVolume3-ebook.pdf|url-status=live |publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office |isbn=9780160817335|access-date=2 June 2020|page=172|chapter=Correcting the Great Ones’ Mistakes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130626032927/http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/636007main_RocketsPeopleVolume3-ebook.pdf|archivedate=June 26, 2013|editor-link=Asif Azam Siddiqi|author-link=Boris Chertok}} [https://archive.org/details/rocketspeoplehot03cher Alt URL]</ref> Two versions of the RT-1 were developed, with the first failing its first flight, but succeeding in its second in 1961.  A second version was tested in 1965 with three flights, of which two failed.  The RT-1 program was cancelled before any service.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}
