SA-1 Red Mist, Shirerithian surface-to-air missile reverse engineered from the Minarborian Burdock surface to air missile[1] during the 1640s. Deployed on Boojum mobile-launchers as part of the Sart Shuck missile complex.
By the mid-1660's the stockpile of SA-1 missiles had been mostly run down, depleted during various conflicts with Jingdao, or else removed from operational stockpiles as critical internal components reached their life-expiry point. From 1667 onward remaining examples of the missile type were withdrawn from service and replaced by the System 2 Standard Missile concurrent with the beginning of the phased disassembly of the Boojum launchers in order to salvage gravimetric components for the Nereid programme.
