Since 2015, three variants of missiles have been developed under the theme "Vilkha": "Vilkha-R" - an old extended-life 9M55 missile for a MLRS 9K58 "Smerch", R624 "Vilkha" - a missile in the 9M55 case with a new solid propellant engine, correction system based on GPS and inertial navigation system, additional gas-dynamic engines and R624M "Vilkha-M" - a completely new rocket - new hull, engine similar to the "Vilkha" adjustment system and gas-dynamic engines.
