Captured from the Iraqis in 1991. I understand that the Silkworm is a ground-based, Chinese developed anti ship missile. From news reports of the time it was quoted as having a 60 mile (approx 100 Km) range. The close-up views of the vent/filling ports are similar to those on the US Lance missile, so the propellant is therefore likely to have been liquid. Not sure why some of the markings seem to be in Cyrillic.
