RE-EVALUATION BY NPIC SOLTSY AIRFIELD, USSR,
(5808N 03020E) REVEALS FURTHER CONFIRMATION OF THE PRESENCE OF
KENNEL AIR-TO-SURFACE MISSILES OBSERVED ON MISSION 4029 (3
JUNE 66). THE KENNEL ASM UNDER THE WING OF THE BADGER-B
AIRCRAFT (SO TERMED) BECAUSE BADGER-A DOES NOT CARRY KENNEL)
MEASURES 25 FEET IN LENGTH. THE SHADOW OF THE MISSILE GIVES
THE IMPRESSION OF AN EQUAL PROTRUSION IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND
THE BADGER-B WING. DISCARDING THE FALSE EXTENSION PROVIDED
BY THIS SHADOW, THE KENNEL THEN APPEARS IDENTICAL TO THE
BADGER-B/KENNEL CONFIGURATION PICTURED IN FTD-TH-61-1 (AS
REVISED 14 JUNE 66), SINO-SOVIET BLOC AIRCRAFT TECHNICAL
CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE HANDBOOK. FURTHER, A DEFINITE
TAIL ASSEMBLY CAN BE SEEN TO THE REAR OF THE WING AS WELL AS
THE POINT OF THE RIGHT WING OF THE KENNEL ASM.
THE THREE KENNEL ASM OBSERVED IN THE LOADING AREA OF THE
NUCLEAR WEAPONS STORAGE FACILITY HAVE THEIR WINGS IN A FOLDED
POSITION. THESE MISSILES ARE 26 FEET IN LENGTH. THE FIN-
LIKE PROJECTION NEAR THE MID-SECTION OF THE MISSILES' FUSELAGES
APPEAR TO BE SHADOWS CAST BY THE FOLDED WINGS.
THE KENNEL ASM BEING TOWED DOWN THE NE TAXIWAY ALSO HAS
ITS WINGS IN A FOLDED POSITION.
IT.APPEARS IDENTICAL TO THE THREE KENNEL
