Russian heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle. Final configuration of the N1 at the time of development go-ahead in 1962. The 75 metric ton payload was to consist of the Raskat dispenser, which would have delivered 17 multi-megaton nuclear warheads, essentially destroying the United States in a single launch. The design also supported the OS-1 heavy space station and TMK manned Mars flyby requirements - as opposed to any manned lunar landing project.

Status: Study 1962. Thrust: 33,927.50 kN (7,627,205 lbf). Gross mass: 2,110,000 kg (4,650,000 lb). Height: 74.00 m (242.00 ft). Diameter: 10.00 m (32.00 ft).

In the early projects a 'super ICBM' payload was proposed for the N1. The Raskat dispenser would have delivered 17 multi-megaton nuclear warheads, essentially destroying the United States in a single launch.
