MISSION 4027 20-25 APR 66
HIGHLIGHTS
NOTE -- THE TARGET DATA INVENTORY SYSTEM OF DESIGNATING DEPLOYED
ICBM MISSILE SITES IS USED FOR THE NEW MISSILE SITES IDENTIFIED
ON THIS MISSION. WHERE POSSIBLE, NPIC WILL ADD A LETTER SUFFIX
TO THE DESIGNATION OF TYPE IIID LAUNCH SITES TO?INDICATE THE
LAUNCH GROUP WITH WHICH THE SITE IS ASSOCIATED. ALSO, AS A
RESULT OF FURTHER STUDY OF THE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT SEEN ON
THIS MISSION AT THE TALLINN AND THE LENINGRAD NW COMPLEXES AND
THE NEW SAM ACTIVITY AT KAPUSTIN.YAR, IT HAS BEEN CONCLUDED THAT
THE PREVIOIISLY.DESIGNATED AMM/SAM LAUNCH COMPLEXES ARE PROBABLE
LONG RANGE SAM LAUNCH COMPLEXES. THIS DOES NOT PRECLUDE DEFENSE
AGAINST AERODYNAMIC CRUISE-TYPE MISSILES. BEGINNING WITH THIS
OAK, THESE COMPLEXES ARE RE-DESIGNATED PROBABLE LONG RANGE SAM
LAUNCH COMPLEXES.
1. TYURATAM MISSILE TEST CENTERI
THE TEST CENTER-IS COVERED FROM LAUNCH COMPLEX A WESTWARD BY
PHOTOGRAPHY OF GOOD INTERPRETABILITY. MISSILES IN A HORIZONTAL
POSITION ARE LOCATED IN FRONT OF BOTH READY. BUILDINGS ASSOCIATED
WITH G1 AND G2. ONE MISSILE APPEARS TO HAVE MATED STAGES,
IDENTIFIEt' AS THE FIRST TWO STAGES OF A POSSIBLE SCRAG. EMPTY
MISSILE-TRANSPORTING RAIL CARS ARE PRESENT TO THE REAR OF?THE
PAD AT G3 AND NEAR THE PAD AT G4. A MISSILE-TRANSPORTING RAIL
CAR,-SIMILAR TO THOSE OBSERVED AT LAUNCH AREA G3-G4, IS
SEEN ON A SPUR AT.A NEWLY IDENTIFIED POSSIBLE COMPONENT
CHECKOUT/HANDLING FACILITY. THIS MAY.INDICATE THAT THIS FACILITY
IS ASSOCIATED WITH LAUNCH AREA G3-G4. AN UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
LONG ON A TRANSPORTER AND A PRIME MOVER ARE PARKED END-TO-END AT G9.
THE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED UNIDENTIFIED AREA 2 NM WSW OF THE COMPLEX
SUPPORT FACILITY CAN NOW BE IDENTIFIED AS A PROBABLE ELECTRONIC
FACILITY.*.
PROBABLE LAUNCH AREA-G CAN NOW BE CONFIRMED. THE PROBABLE
GANTRY-CAN NOW BE CONFIRMED, AND TRACKS EXTEND FROM THE GANTRY
TO THE LEFT PAD.

PROBABLE LAUNCH AREA H CAN NOW BE CONFIRMED. A LARGE GANTRY,
LIKE THE ONE AT LAUNCH AREA G,: IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION BEHIND THE
RIGHT PAD.
A TYPE IIID LAUNCH SITE (40) IS NEWLY IDENTIFIED IN A MID-STAGE
OF CONSTRUCTION AT 57-50N 056-18E.
A TYPE IIID LAUNCH SITE (551) IS NEWLY IDENTIFIED IN AN EARLY
STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION AT 50-58N 116-11E.
7. KAPUSTIN YAR SAM LAUNCH COMPLEXI
THE PROBABLE LONG RANGE SAM LAUNCH AREA, PREVIOUSLY REPORTED AS
THE NEW-TYPE SAM LAUNCH AREA, CAN NOW BE RELATED TO THE 16 LONG
RANGE SAM COMPLEXES IN THE SOVIET UNION, DUE IN PART TO THE PRESENCE
OF A VEE OR FORKED PATTERN AND TRACKING/GUIDANCE RADARS WHICH
ARE THE SAME AS THOSE AT LAUNCH COMPLEX A9 SARY-SHAGAN, LENINGRAD
N#, TALLINN, AND CHEREPOVETS.
TWO PROBABLE GANEF MISSILES ARE AT THE WESTERN LAUNCH PAD
AND 2 PROBABLE TRANSPORTER-LAUNCHERS (ONE WITH 2 PROBABLE
GANEF MISSILES MOUNTED ON IT) ARE CLOSE BY.
90 LENINGRAD NW PROS LONG RANGE SAM LCH CPLXI
A AND B SINCE
RAILS CAN BE IDENTIFIED IN THE VEE PATTERNS AT LAUNCH SITES
D AND E. A CAMOUFLAGE NETTING HAS BEEN STRETCHED OVER THE
CENTER OF THE SITE CONTROL POSITION, LAUNCH SITE Ae A PAIR
OF RAIL-MOUNTED DOLLIES, EACH ARE IN EACH LAUNCH
POSITION AT LAUNCH SITES A, B, AND C. AT THE ELECTRONIC SITE,

NINE POSSIBLE GANEF MISSILES ARE OBSERVED IN THE OPERATIONAL
SUPPORT AREA 12 NM NNE OF THE LAUNCH AREA.
14. MOSCOW PROBABLE ABM LAUNCH COMPLEX (MISSILE BONUS)
BASED ON CONSTRUCTION PATTERNS OBSERVED AT THE PROBABLE ABM
LAUNCH COMPLEX AT MOSCOW SAM SITE E33-1 (SEE MISSILE BONUS 1,
OAK PART II), A SIMILAR PROBABLE ABM LAUNCH COMPLEX IS
APPARENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT MOSCOW SAM SITE E31-1.
15. NOVOSIBIRSK AIRFIELD WEST

LAUNCH AREA G1-G2 (SITE 7) -- THE LAUNCH AREA IS BEING
ENLARGED AND NEW SECURITY FENCING IS IDENTIFIED ON THE
NE AND NW SIDES. THE GANTRIES ARE LOCATED TO THE REAR
OF THE PADS. A BUILDING APPROXIMATELY 50 X 40 FT IS
UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN THE EXCAVATION FORWARD OF G1.
NEW DITCHING EXTENDS EASTWARD AND THEN NORTHWARD FROM
THE EARTH-MOUNDED BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE OF G2.
DITCHES, APPARENTLY FOR FOOTINGS, HAVE BEEN DUG AT THE
SOUTH END OF THE MISSILE READY BUILDING FOR G2,
SUGGESTING THAT THE BUILDING WILL BE EXTENDED IN THAT
DIRECTION. A DITCH.EXTENDS SOUTHWARD FROM ONE OF.THE
EARTH-MOUNDED BUILDINGS BETWEEN THE LAUNCH PADS.
NUMEROUS UNIDENTIFIED VEHICLES ARE IN THE AREA.
MISSILES IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION ARE LOCATED IN FRONT
OF BOTH OF THE READY BUILDINGS. T ONE AT G1 APPEARS

STAGES ARE NOT MATED.
LAUNCH AREA G3-G4 (SITE 11) -- THE GANTRIES ARE LOCATED
TO THE REAR OF THE PADS. EMPTY MISSILE-TRANSPORTING
RAIL CARS ARE PRESENT TO THE REAR OF THE PAD AT G3 AND
NEAR THE PAD AT G4. NUMEROUS PIECES OF UNIDENTIFIED
EQUIPMENT ARE ON PAD G3 AND SEVERAL UNIDENTIFIED
VEHICLES ARE PARKED NEAR THE HORIZONTAL TANKS EAST OF

LAUNCH AREA G5-G6 (SITE 12) -- THE GANTRY IS POSITIONED
AT THE REAR EDGE OF THE APRON AT G5. A PROBABLE
MISSILE TRANSPORTER IN LENGTH OVERALL IS PARKED
ON G6. SIX UNIDENTIFIED VEHICLES/PIECES OF EQUIPMENT
ARE PARKED IN THE NE CORNER OF THE AREA, AND 4 ARE
PARKED IN THE SW CORNER. SIX SMALLER VEHICLES/PIECES
OF EQUIPMENT ARE PARKED AT RANDOM IN THE AREA BETWEEN

FROM A POINT NEAR THE SILO TO A POINT NEAR A NEW
EARTH-MOUNDED, RECTANGULAR, PROBABLE STRUCTURE LOCATED
ADJACENT TO THE CONTROL BUILDING. THE DITCH CONTAINS A
CONDUIT. A SMALL SQUARE STRUCTURE IS LOCATED AT EACH
POINT THAT THE CONDUIT CHANGES DIRECTION. AN OPEN

LOCATED JUST EAST OF THE CONTROL BUILDING. IT APPEARS
TO BE SIMILAR IF NOT IDENTICAL TO THE ONE OBSERVED AT
LAUNCH AREA Il.
G8-G9 SITE 19) --{ (THERE WERE 6
VEHICLES/PIECES OF EQUIPMENT ON THE APRON AT G8. ONE
OF THESE IS A CRANE POSITIONED NEXT TO THE SILO. A
PROBABLE TRANSPORTER IS BACKED UP NEXT TO THE CRANE AT
THE SILO. A PROBABLE TRANSPORTER, SIMILAR IF NOT
IDENTICAL TO THE ONE OBSERVED AT G6, IS PARKED NEAR THE
WEST SECURITY FENCE. AT LEAST 11 OTHER UNIDENTIFIED
VEHICLES/PIECES OF EQUIPMENT ARE IN AND ABOUT THE AREA.
A RING, SIMILAR TO THOSE OBSERVED ON THE APRONS AROUND
THE SILOS, IS LYING ON THE GROUND AT THE NE CORNER OF
THE LAUNCH AREA. AN UNIDENTIFIED
PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, A CYLINDER APPROXIMATELY 0 IN
LENGTH ON A TRANSPORTER, AND A PRIME MOVER ARE PARKED
END-TO-END ON G9. A CRANE IS POSITIONED NEXT TO THIS
LINE OF EQUIPMENT. THE VEHICLES/PIECES OF EQUIPMENT
OBSERVED AT G8 ON THE PREVIOUS DAY ARE NO LONGER
PRESENT.

BETWEEN THE COMPLEX SUPPORT FACILITY AND LAUNCH AREA
G1-G2. THIS FACILITY NOW CONSISTS OF A DRIVE-THROUGH
BUILDING ON A LOOP ROAD, AND 2 CONCRETE ARCH-ROOFED
BUILDINGS LOCATED NEAR THE END OF RAIL SPURS. THE
ARCH-ROOFED BUILDINGS ARE DRIVE-THROUGH-TYPES AND ARE
SERVED BY A LOOP ROAD PATTERN. AN EARTH-MOUNDED
STRUCTURE, 2 PAIRS OF SUMPS, A SECURITY BUILDING, AND
SEVERAL OTHER BUILDINGS ARE ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THE

THE LAUNCH SITE. AN EARTH-MOUNDED STRUCTURE IS WEST OF
THE LOOP ROAD AT THE POINT WHERE
AN EXCAVATION WAS REPORTED.
AT LAUNCH SITE K2 (SITE 13), THE SILO DOOR IS OPEN AND
A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL IS
LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE LAUNCH SITE. A PROBABLE EXHAUST
VENT IS IDENTIFIED IN A CURVED PATTERN ON EITHER SIDE
OF THE SILO APERATURE.
A VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT PARK CONTAINING AT LEAST 25
VEHICLES/PIECES OF EQUIPMENT IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTH
END OF THE LAUNCH AREA BEHIND THE LARGE BUILDING. A
POSSIBLE MISSILE TRANSPORTER IS PARKED OFF THE ROAD
BETWEEN THE SECURITY FENCES.
AT LAUNCH SITE K3 (SITE 20), A SILO COVER IS IDENTIFIED
IN THE CLOSED POSITION. IT IS SIMILAR IN SIZE AND
SHAPE TO THOSE SEEN AT THE L GROUP. A PAIR OF SMALL
