Engine Model: RLA-1200. Designer: Glushko. Developed in: 1972-1975. Propellants: Lox/Kerosene. Thrust(vac): 12,700.000 kN (2,855,000 lbf). Chambers: 4. Country: USSR. Status: Design 1974.

In 1972 to 1974 Glushko proposed lox/kerosene engines for the RLA series launch vehicles and the UR-700M Mars booster with a lift-off thrust of 300 tonnes per chamber. The RLA version would use four chambers for a total thrust of 1200 tonnes. Following rejection of the RLA and the adoption of the Energia design, this chamber design was 'down-sized' to 200 tonnes thrust for Energia.
