SiJA"~~LRY 4~' YT B'nLE SITUATION IR TFI~] USSR
1. The JFfIC believos that the Soviets currently do not have
quantities of any artillery ~T fuze operable under high accelerations
to an extent greater than those needed for limited testing It is
known, however: that sufficient information has been available to them
from German ideas and personnel, and from examination and teats of
several samples of ~'orld War II t7. S, proximity fuzes to permit them
to evolve asn acceptable design of artillery fuze.
~. ~No direct evidence is available on the quantity production of
Soviet artillery 1IT fuzes. Rowever. it is believed the Soviets are now
capable of producing operational quantities of proximity fuzee for low
acceleration missiles because of the less exacting engineering require-
ments.~
3. It Mould be dangerous to assume that the Soviets will be
without operati?nal quantities of an artillery YT fuze beyond mid-
1952.
