The elongated, slender rocket is mounted at an upward angle on a sharp-edged geometric support, which is attached to a rectangular wooden or wood-based plinth with a matte finish and visible wood grain. A commemorative plaque with a Russian inscription is affixed to the base, dedicated to Lieutenant General Reinhold Wolfovich as a memento of his visit to a Soviet military unit in March 1976. Measuring approximately 45 cm in length, the model’s proportions emphasize its aerodynamic form, reflecting the industrial and military design language of 1970s Soviet mid-century modernism.

The upward-angled rocket tells a story of arms races and ritualized occasions, where every detail
