Alexander Nadiradze (1914–1987)

Born 1914 CE, died 1987 CE.

Aleksandr Davidovich Nadiradze (Georgian: ალექსანდრე ნადირაძე, Russian: Александр Давидович Надирадзе; 2 September 1914 – 3 September 1987) was a Soviet engineer of Georgian ethnicity who was instrumental in the militarization of the former Soviet space program. He designed various ballistics missiles, shells, and their delivery system, for which he is considered "father" of the mobile ICBMs, having created the RT-21 Temp 2S (SS-16), RSD-10 Pioneer (SS-20) and the RT-2PM Topol (SS-25). More modern weapons such as the RT-2PM2 Topol-M and RS-24 are mostly based on Nadiradze's work as well.
