I've decided to change all the tags called r-77_vympel, r-73_vympel, r-27_vympel, and r-60_molniya to just r-77, r-73, r-27, and r-60. Vympel isn't the name of the missiles, it's the company that produces them, so it sounds really stupid. It'd be like calling the AIM-9 Sidewinder the AIM-9 Raytheon Sidewinder or the AIM-54 as the AIM-54 Hughes Phoenix.

@Endoiruye Yeah, do not do this, because eliminating the name just leaves a bunch of alpha-numeric codes that is meaningless gibberish to 99.9% of our userbase, as opposed to codes and names that are gibberish to only about 95% of our userbase.
Remember, Danbooru got on just fine for years using air-to-air missile as a catch-all tag, and the more meaningless granularity gets introduced, the more likely that all the missile tags will be simply aliased to that tag for convenience sake.
