INTRODUCTION
The specific objective of the GMAIC Deployment Working Group
(DWG) has been to provide a detailed review and analysis of all data
pertinent to the location of medium- and long-range surface-to-surface
missile (SSM) sites.
To assist GMAIC in the fulfillment of its responsibilities to USIB
on (SSM) deployment, the DWG prepared a report, Soviet Surface-to-
Surface Missile Deployment, dated 1 September 1960 (Control No SH-
0288/60 and Control No SS-102026).
The above report is superseded by this publication which contains a
detailed review of all surface-to-surface ballistic missile sites observed
on KEYHOLE photography in the confirmed, probable, and possible
categories. Evaluation of locations not covered by usable photography
but which are evaluated on the basis of other evidence will be included
as supplements to this report.
Part I contains a review of data on ICBM deployment locations. To
date, ICBM launch pads have been observed in pairs and are referred
to as launch sites. Two or more sites are considered launch complexes
and are lettered sequentially, i.e., Yur'ya ICBM Launch Complex, Launch
Sites A, B, C, and D. The DWG considers this installation with its eight
launch pads and associated support facilities, to be typical for second
generation ICBM complexes. An analysis of photographic evidence on
second generation ICBM sites indicates the launch areas probably will
be road served and will be subject to such security measures as fencing,
road checkpoints, and location in wooded areas. The support facilities
are generally within fenced areas; are served by rail; and contain the

buildings and other facilities necessary to provide housing for personnel
and storage, assembly, inspection, and servicing of missiles. Launch
complexes are defended by surface-to-air missiles and have excellent
road networks with wide-radius turns plus rail-to-road transfer points.
Part II contains a review of data on MRI3M* deployment locations.
MRBM sites identified to date have four launch pads arranged in two basic
configurations, of which there are several modifications. A total of 40
of the first 73 MRBM launch sites identified on KEYHOLE photography
are of a configuration referred to as "inline" (Figure 1). The basic
characteristic of this configuration is four parallel roads, each serving
a launch pad. The four launch pads at each site have been observed in
two groups of two. The pairs of pads are placed either along a straight
line or are slightly offset. The circular pad areas are approximately
150 to 200 feet in diameter. Generally a drive-through ready building
is located on each of the four parallel roads :Leading to the launch pads.
In some cases two pads are served by one ready building. At most launch
sites having this configuration a launch support area consisting of three
or four buildings is located in the vicinity of the ready buildings.
Twenty-three of the MRBM launch sites observed to date have a
"rectangular" configuration or a modification thereof (Figure 2). Each
launch site is usually located in a forested area and is road served. A
rectangular MRBM launch site has four pads arranged in the form of
a rectangle that measures approximately 900 by 535 feet. The pad areas
appear to be circular and are about 180 feet across. Typically, each pair
of pads making up one of the long sides of the rectangle is connected by
a straight road. A large ready building located at the midpoint on the
road serves both pads. The launch sites usually have an immediate housing
or support area with about ten buildings. Some sites also have an additional
support area which usually contains a loop road with a drive-through
*The MRBM is defined as having ranges of 700 and 1,100 nautical miles (nm). Site analysis at
this time does not permit a determination of which missile system is deployed at any given site. It
should be noted, however, that further analysis may reveal a ccmpatibility of some sites with the
longer range IRBM.

building and three or four other service buildings. Modified rectangular
launch sites contain the same basic components but vary slightly in
their arrangement. The pads of these launch sites are often arranged in
the form of a parallelogram or trapezoid.
The majority of MRBM launch sites observed to date are deployed
in pairs. These pairs, together with any associated support facilities,
are considered to comprise a launch complex and the sites are numbered
sequentially, i.e., Paplaka MRBM Launch Complex, Launch Sites 1 and 2.
It is possible that the single launch sites observed in KEYHOLE photog-
raphy to date will eventually be paired. In the interim, these are referred
to as sites rather than complexes.
Part III contains a review of data on R & D, training, and major
missile-related support facilities. Initially, the facilities at Tyura Tam,
Kapustin Yar, Chelkar, and Makat are included. As more evidence becomes
available, data on other missile-related installations will be added.
The best indicator for site configurations has been provided by photog-
raphy of the Soviet missile test ranges. Although the deployed sites may
not be identical in every feature with the range prototypes, many of the
basic elements seen at the ranges are also present at confirmed sites.
For example, the analysis of photography of Launch Complex"C"at Tyura
Tam led to the identification of the ICBM launch complexes confirmed to
date.
The resolution of KEYHOLE photography precludes an accurate analysis
of either operational or construction status. However, judgments on con-
struction status have been made where possible from all-source evidence.
Identifying names of missile complexes used. in this document have been
carefully selected in an effort to avoid the introduction of a significant
number of new names.
Inmost cases the same names intro-
duced by photographic reports or the TDI have been used. To assist in
the identification of locations which may currently be named differently,
BE numbers have been included with the coordinates of each site.

The assessments contained herein are the result of a systematic
review of all evidence photographic) and represent
a majority evaluation. In those cases where the assessment was not unani-
mous, a footnote is added to the bottom of the page reflecting the dif-
ferences. The following site evaluation criteria, approved by GMAIC,
have been used by the DWG in this report:
CONFIRMED
Evidence verifies the installation as an SSM site, complex, or area,
either operational or under construction.
PROBABLE
A probable SSM site, complex, or area is one whose existence has been
confidently deduced on the basis of extensive reliable evidence which is
highly indicative of an SSM site, complex, or area, either operational or
under construction.
POSSIBLE
A possible SSM site, complex, or area is one whose existence has
been deduced on the basis of evidence which is suggestive or an SSM site,
complex, or area, either operational or under construction.

I. Conclusions
Itatka is a confirmed ICBM launch complex.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
0
The Itatka complex was identified on KEYHOLE photography dated
There was no evidence of the complex on clear TALENT 25X1
photography of August 1957 or on clear KEYHOLE photography of August
1960. A study of the August 1960 and September 1961 coverages indicates
that in 12 months the construction of the complex had progressed to a
point where a launch site was identifiable.
The ICBM launch complex under construction at Itatka, about 35
nautical miles (nm) northeast of Tomsk (Figure 1), consists of one launch
site and a road- and rail-served support facility. The launch site is
approximately 10 nm north of the support facility which is northwest of
and adjacent to the town of Itatka.
The launch site (Figure 2) at Itatka is similar to launch sites at other
ICBM complexes at Yur'ya, Yoshkar-Ola, and Ve:rkhnyaya Salda. Individual
structures in many areas cannot be clearly identified because of cloud
haze and the early stage of construction. It has been determined, however,
that the launch pad areas are about 1, 000 feet apart and that their orientation
is approximately 10 degrees. The center road is offset, and clearings for
missile-ready buildings are visible. About 3,000 feet to the rear of the
launch site is scarring which indicates the probable location of a launch
support area. The launch site and complex support facility are connected
by an improved road apparently having been built within the past year. At a
point where this road turns west to serve the launch site a short eastward
extension is visible, indicating that other launch sites may be planned
in that direction.

The complex support facility (Figure 3) consists of an incomplete
barracks area containing at least 20 structures and a rail-served area
which may contain at least four terminal rail spurs, open and covered
storage, and a possible rail-to-road transfer point.
No SAM sites are noted defending the complex, although the cloud cover
in the area may preclude their identification. In addition, the early stage
of construction could mean that a SAM defense has not yet been deployed.

I. Conclusions
Kostroma is a confirmed ICBM launch complex.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
An ICBM launch complex with two sites under construction and
0
indications that another area is being readied for construction of a third
site has been observed near Kostroma on KEYHOLE photography of
25X1
(Figu
re 1).
25X1
Launch Site A was first observed on July 1961 photography and was
partially obscured. It is located in a forested area 19 nm northeast of
Kostroma (Figure 2). Three of the four elongated clearings similar to
those observed at known ICBM sites were visible and interconnected by a
system of straight roads. Pad orientation is approximately 300 degrees.
The road pattern and the arrangement and orientation of the elongated
clearings are similar to those at Launch Sites B and D at Yur' ya, at Launch
Sites A and B at Yoshkar-Ola, and at Launch Complex C at Tyura Tam.
Launch Site A was again observed on KEYHOLE; photography of December
1961. At that time the pattern of the launch site was not discernible
because of long shadows and snow cover. The launch support area, cloud
covered in July 1961, was observed for the first time in December 1961.
Two roads lead to the site from the Kostroma-Buy highway. One of
them has wide-radius turns (approximately 350-foot radius) at its inter-
section with the highway.
The launch support area is generally to the east of the launch pads and
contains approximately 35 buildings.
Launch Site A was not evident on KEYHC)LE photography of August
1960. A search of this 1960 photography of the Kostroma-Galich railroad
revealed no rail spurs under construction in the vicinity of the site.

Launch Site B, observed on KEYHOLE photography of December 1961,
is located about 7.9 nm west of Site A (Figure 3). Long ground shadows
preclude detailed description of the pads; however, their orientation is
approximately 290 degrees. A launch support area is noted on the east
side of the road about 1,200 feet from the entrance to the launch site.
The probable area for Launch Site C is located approximately 4 nm
south of Site B (Figure 4). A road branching off the road to Site B leads
to this area. This road was not observed on August 1960 photography.
No launch site pattern is discernible on the December 1961 photography,
precluding confirmation of this as a launch site. Two SAM SA-2 sites
have been confirmed in the immediate area between Kostroma and
Buy (Figure 1).
The complex support facility is located on the outskirts of Kostroma
at 57-40N 41-01E (Figure 5). There is a probable transfer point and housing
area about 10 nm east of the complex support facility (Figure 6). Neither
of these was present on KEYHOLE photography of August 1960. The
complex support facility is :rail and road served. A rail spur serving a
nearby industry has been extended to serve this facility. There are five,
widely spaced, rail sidings within the facility, and in the pattern of sidings
and arrangement of buildings the area shows a marked similarity to the
complex support facilities at both Shadrinsk and Yoshkar-Ola.
A road leads north from the area and joins the east-west highway out
of Kostroma. The area appears to be enclosed by a fence, with security
check points on both the road and rail line into the area.
The east-west highway out of Kostroma also provides access to the
probable rail-to-road transfer point. The transfer point also is served by
a rail spur leading north about 2.3 nm from the Kostroma-Galich rail line.
This line provides a direct rail tie with the complex support facility near
Kostroma. A road parallels the rail line into the transfer point. The
probable transfer point, located in a wooded area, appears to consist of
two widely spaced rail sidings and about 30 buildings.

1. Conclusions
Plesetsk is a probable* ICBM deployment area.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
The information presented below was obtained primarily from KEY-
HOLE Missions (June and July 1961). Supplementary and
corroborating material was taken from KEYHOLE Missions
(August and December 1960) and from German photography of 1942 and
1943.
On the basis of photography alone, activity in the Plesetsk area remains
undetermined. The observed areas did not reveal any activity that could be
positively identified as being associated or related to ICBM activity.
However, due to photographic limitations imposed on interpretation, ICBM
activity cannot be negated in this area.
The major reasons for continued suspicion of ICBM activity are as
follows:
(2) the presence of
surface-to-air missile defenses; and (3) the presence of an unusual,
secured, road- and rail-served installation of unknown function.
A complex of three large areas of unidentified activity is located
approximately 15 nm northeast of Plesetsk and 8 nm east of the Vologda-
Arkhangel'sk rail line (Figures 1 and 2). Access to the complex is by good
road and a rail spur from the town of Plesetsk.
The areas of the complex are designated the West, South, and East
Areas. The West Area (Figures 3 and 4) contains an unidentified secured
installation, a possible storage facility, and a housing development. The
South Area (Figures 5 and 6) contains large industrial-type buildings and
a large possible storage facility with associated housing. Cloud cover
and poor quality photography preclude any description of the East Area.

I. Conclusions
Shadrinsk is a confirmed ICBM complex.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
0
An ICBM launch complex has been identified just northeast of the
town of Shadrinsk and 110 nm east-southeast of Sverdlovsk on KEYHOLE
photography of December 1961. This makes the sixth deployed complex
identified to date on KEYHOLE photography. The general layout of the
complex strongly resembles the one at Yoshkar-Ola. Two SAM sites have
been observed in defense of the complex. One was identified on Mission
indicating that the complex may have 25X1
been under construction since that time. There was no coverage of the
immediate area of the complex on this mission ]aowever.
The complex consists of a large rail-served support facility and two
road-served launch sites each with an adjacent small support area
(Figures 1 and 4).
The main complex support facility consists of housing, administra-
tion, storage (both open and covered), and maintenance areas. These
facilities are grouped around four or possibly five parallel rail sidings.
A rail-to-road transfer point is located about 2.3 nm north of the base
support.
The ground was snow covered at the time of the photography and none
of the roads within the complex had been cleared with the exception of the
road from Shadrinsk to the support facility.
The locations of Launch Sites A and B are apparent, although the
identifying signatures cannot be distinguished. This may be due to the
snow cover and long shadows, or construction may still be in such an early
stage that the pattern has not yet been formed.

Launch Site A is located about 8.3 nm by road from the transfer
point (Figure 2). At least seven structures can be recognized as part
of the immediate support.
Launch Site B is located approximately 7.5 nm east of Site A and
15.3 nm by road from the transfer point (Figure 3). Several structures
are recognizable as a part of the launch support.
Launch Sites A and B are generally parallel to each other but neither
pattern is sufficiently apparent to obtain the azimuth of the pads.

I. Conclusions
Verkhnyaya Salda is a confirmed ICBM launch complex.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
This ICBM launch complex, with two road-served launch sites and a
road- and rail-served support facility have been confirmed on KEYHOLE
photography of August-September 1961. The complex is located in a
forested area approximately 6 nm northwest of Verkhnyaya Salda (Figure
The two launch sites and the support facility are considered to have
been in the late stage of construction in mid 1961. Two SA-2 SAM sites
have been identified in the vicinity of the complex. One site, identified as

early as July 1959 is 15 nm west of the complex. 25X1
The other, first identified on September 1961 25X1
photography, is 15 nm north of the complex. The nearest airfield which
could support operations at the complex is 13 nm to the southwest, near
Nizhniy Tagil.
The area of the Verkhnyaya Salda ICBM launch complex was covered
by photography of The only activity observed was a rail spur 25X1
under construction leading north from the Nizhni.y Tagil/Verkhnyaya Salda
rail line at a point 13 nm east-northeast of Nizhniy Tagil. The spur
apparently terminates near the area of the probable support facility, which
is faintly visible on the July 1961 photography. 25X1
Also visible in July 1961, but not identifiable, were the locations of the two
ICBM launch sites (A and B). In addition, this photography shows a road
(new since 1959) which leads north from the main Nizhniy Tagil/Verkhnyaya
Salda road, runs through the probable support facility, and continues
north-northeast for approximately 10 nm.

Launch Site A is 2.5 nm east-southeast of Yasva. This launch site,
in a late stage of construction, is road served and is enclosed by a seven-
sided fence (Figure 2). The fenced area measures approximately 2,100 by
1,800 feet overall and covers about 85 acres. A second fence is under
construction along the southeast side. The size and configuration of the
loop-road system and the clearings for the two launch pads are similar to
those at Yur'ya, Yoshkar-Ola, Tyura Tam Launch Complex C, and
Kostroma. No vehicle stalls can be identified at either pad area, and the
pad size cannot be determined.
Although the entire loop-road system cannot be seen, enough of the
pattern is visible to indicate a pad orientation of approximate)
and a pad separation of 1,000 feet. The road between the pads and parallel
to the long axis of the pads is offset to the east. A similar offsetting is
evident at Yur'ya and Yoshkarr-01a. Behind one pad area is a missile-ready
building measuring 155 by 50 feet. A clearing is visible for a second
missile-ready building behind the other pad area.
A support area, containing at least ten completed buildings and four
apparently under construction, is located about 2,500 feet south of the
launch site. Six of the ten completed structures are barracks-type buildings
measuring 145 by 50 feet. As one-story structures, these six buildings
could accommodate 290 men on the basis of 150 square feet per man.
Launch Site B (Figure 3) is 21,200 feet southeast of Launch Site A and
was about 75 percent cloud covered on photography of September 1961.
Part of the loop-road system and the pad to the west were visible. This
visible portion appeared to be more nearly complete than its counterpart
at Launch Site A.
The probable complex support facility (58-03N 60-25E) consists of two
large clearings, one on each side of the service road for the complex,
measuring approximately 6,000 by 1,000 feet. Darkness and small scale
preclude further interpretation.

launch complex with Launch Sites A and B under construction in a densely
forested area 7 nm southeast of Yoshkar-Ola (Figure 1). Launch Site A
(Figure 2) was observed in June at which time 'there was no evidence of a
second launch site. Launch Site B was observed under construction, 4.7
nm east of Launch Site A, in October, indicating ",hat features which permit
identification of an ICBM launch site can be constructed in 4 months or less.
The complex, as observed to date, consists of two road-served launch sites
and a support area served by both road and rail. Each road-served launch
site consists of two elongated pads approximately 1, 000 feet apart and with
an orientation of approximately 335 degrees. The clearings for probable
missile ready buildings are visible at both launch sites. At Launch Site A,
an unidentified area on the north side of the main road appears to contain
buildings and may be local support for this site. At Launch Site B
(Figure 3), a cleared area near the junction of the launch site access road
is probably for local support. Another road-served cleared area at Launch
Site B contains a road forming a rectangular pattern. A structure, probably
a drive-through building, straddles a sector of this road. The road
configuration and the arrangement and orientation of the pads at the launch
sites conform to those at Launch Site D of the Yur' ya ICBM complex.
The launch sites are connected by a straight, improved road to a
support facility located approximately 4.5 nm west of Launch Site A
(Figure 4). This support facility consists of two areas. The larger area,
approximately 3,200 by 3,000 feet, is situated between the road and rail

spur, and is served by four rail sidings. The patterns of these sidings and
the support facilities were seen again at both Kostroma and Shadrinsk. A
rail spur continues eastward and terminates in a rail-to-road transfer
point. A few roads traverse the area, but no definite road pattern is in
evidence.
The smaller area, approximately 2,000 by 1,200 feet, is located to the
southwest of and connected by road to the largest. area. The rail spur runs
past this smaller area, but no siding can be identified. Although partially
obscured by cloud shadow, it appears to have a road pattern characteristic
of a family-type housing development. Building construction is in evidence.
The complex is served by a rail spur which leaves the Yoshkar-Ola/
Kazan' rail line from the direction of Yoshkar-01a.
The nearest airfield which could support the complex is located near
Yoshkar-Ola. It has an 8,300- foot paved runway. Three other airfields are
located about 60 nm to the southeast, around Kazan'.
The main road connecting the launch sites continues eastward past
Launch Site B and appears to terminate in a forest. The distance between S
the launch sites is commensurate with the distances between the launch
sites at the Yur'ya complex and suggests that possibly other launch sites
are planned to the southeast.
An SA-2 SAM site is under construction, 12 nm south of the complex.
No other evidence of security was observed.
Clear TALENT photography of February 1960 showed that none of
these complex facilities were present. The same photography showed a
large rail-served military storage and handling facility, 9 nm south of the
complex which has remained substantially unchanged in later coverage.
This facility is not believed to be associated with the missile complex.

I. Conclusions
Yur'ya is a confirmed ICBM launch complex.
II. Background
A. Photographic evidence.
June 1961 KEYHOLE photography provided the first observation of
a deployed Soviet ICBM launch complex. This complex, northeast of
Yur'ya, includes four road-served launch sites, each with two pads. The
complex is defended by SA-2 SAM sites. The photography indicates an
ICBM launch site signature similar to launch complex "C" at Tyura Tam.
It also indicates that defensive measures (SAM sites) will be found at
launch complexes, and it confirms the road transportability of the missile
from a transfer point in the complex to the launch pad.
The Yur'ya ICBM launch complex is located in a forested area 9 nm
northeast of Yur'ya (Figure 1). It consists of four launch sites with two
pads each and centrally located support facilities. Cloud cover prohibits
complete observation. Four completed SA-2 SAM sites, about 15 nm from
the center of the complex, have been identified. Cloud cover precludes
identification of a SAM support facility. The complex is served by a rail
spur branching from the main line between Kirov and Kotlas. The spur
terminates at a rail-to-road transfer point in the general vicinity of the
support facilities. The nearest reported airfields are located at Kirov,
about 35 nm to the south. The ICBM facilities and interconnecting roads
give the complex a crescent-shaped appearance with the open portion to
the northeast. In general, the complex covers about 150 square miles.
The quality of the photography and tree cover preclude confirmation of
whether the entire complex is secured. Double fencing is prominent along
three sides of one launch site and a single fence can be seen along three
sides of another launch site.

From photographic evidence (June 1961), three launch sites could be
either complete or in late stages of construction. Launch Site D was in
an earlier stage of construction, but in December 1961 photography all
sites appeared to be completed. Most of the support facilities also appear
completed. The area to the north and southeast was thoroughly searched
for additional launch sites or support facilities but none could be identified.
The four road-served launch sites, designated A, B, C, and D, are
located along an improved road. Two are located to the north and two to
the east of the centrally located support facilities. The distance between
Launch Sites A, B, and C is 25,000 feet but Launch Site D is only 20,000
feet north of Site C. Each launch site covers an average of about 90 acres.
While the individual launch sites are not identical in configuration, significant
features and dimensions are consistent throughout and all four resemble
the configuration observed at Launch Complex "C" at Tyura Tam. Each
launch site has been modified slightly to meet existing terrain conditions
or missile-handling procedures; however, each conforms to one of two
distinct configurations. Each site contains two elongated pads, 1,000
feet apart. Their precise shape cannot be determined because of halation
and ground scarring. The distance between pads at Launch Complex "C"
at Tyura Tam, is 1,300 feet.
The long axes of the pads are parallel, and are oriented in a north-
westerly direction between 335 and 340 degrees. In each launch site, wide-
radius turns are in evidence.
Of the four launch sites, Site A, which appears complete and double
fenced (Figure 2), and Site B (Figure 3), which also appears complete
and single fenced, more closely resemble Launch Complex "C" at Tyura
Tam. In addition to the pads, Sites A and B contain several structures, one
of which appears to be a probable missile-ready building. It appears to be
of the drive-through type, is about 120 to 140 feet long, and is centrally
located with respect to each launch pad. Vehicle stalls appear on the inside
edge of one pad at Site A. Such stalls and a probable missile-ready building
are also present at Tyura Tam Launch Complex C.

Launch Site A also contains a possible control bunker which may be
the main control, with the other launch sites subordinate to it. Similar
bunkers have not been found in the other sites; however, cloud shadow
precludes detailed interpretation.
At least seven barracks-type structures which may be quarters for
the missile crews adjoin the west side of Launch Site A. Such quarters
have not been identified at the other launch sites.
Launch Sites C and D (Figures 4 and 5) constitute a modification of
Sites A and B. The basic difference is that a clearing for a missile-
ready building appears to be located about 1,200 feet to the rear of each
pad. Both Sites C and D appear complete but the poor quality of photog-
raphy precludes the identification of missile-ready buildings at Site D.
No security measures are visible.
The support facility for the complex consists of eight separate areas,
located along and at the terminus of the road and rail spur from Yur'ya
(Figure 6). The rail spur terminates in three sidings; two long, widely
spaced, parallel sidings and one short curved siding. The long sidings
constitute the receiving and rail-to-road transfer point. These rail
facilities are similar to the corresponding rail facilities at Tyura Tam
Launch Complex C and indicate that missile-handling procedures are
basically the same.
At a point on one of the long sidings, there appears to be a structure
that could function as a missile-receiving building. The other long
siding parallels a road network with wide-radius turns. Roads from the
transfer point lead directly to the launch sites. Adjoining the transfer
point on the south there appears to be a motor pool and an open storage
area. The short curved siding leads to an unidentified storage area in a
clearing containing. what appears to be nine warehouse-type structures
each about 200 feet long.
East of the rail sidings is a barracks area and an administration and
housing area. The barracks area contains over 30 buildings, 20 of which
are approximately 120 by 35 feet. If it is assumed that these are single-

story units and if 150 square feet are allotted per man, these barracks
could accommodate about 560 men. Buildings in the administration and

indicates that the east side contains administration buildings and the
west, single-unit family-type housing.

1. Conclusions
Aluksne is a confirmed MRBM launch site.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
The Aluksne inline MRBM launch site, identified on KEYHOLE photog-
raphy of August-September 1961, is located in a secure wooded area about
6.5 nm west of the town of Aluksne (Figure 1). The launch site contains
four launch pads, each with associated missile-ready buildings, and an
immediate support facility (Figure 2). A housing and support area is
situated about 1,000 feet east of the launch site.
Due to the stage of construction, detailed measurements cannot be
made; however, the general measurements equate to other MRBM sites
of this type. The nearest road-rail transfer point, which probably serves
the site, is located at Aluksne, 6.5 nm to the east.

1. Conclusions
Balta is a confirmed MRBM launch complex.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
The Balta MRBM complex, identified on KEYHOLE photography of
June and September 1961, is located in a heavy wooded area north of Balta
(Figure 1). Launch Site No 1 located 12.5 :am north of Balta consists
of four launch pad areas about 200 feet in diameter, arranged in a linear
pattern. The launch pads are a minimum of 535 feet apart and are con-
nected by a series of roads leading to the housing and support area (Figure
2). Construction at the site appears to be completed. Although the site
is located within 10 nm of a railroad, there is no road leading from the
site to the railroad.
Launch Site No 2 (Figure 3) is located 7 nm north of Balta. It has
four "inline" pads with four probable associated missile-ready buildings,
each of which is positioned at an angle to the access roads. Housing and
support buildings are located adjacent to, northeast of, and about 750 feet
to the southeast; of the launch area. Roads connect this site with Launch
Site No 1 described above.
A SAM site is located about 16 nm to the south, and may be intended
for air defense for the complex.

I. Conclusions
Barano-Orenburgskoye is a confirmed MRBM launch complex.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
The Barano-Orenburgskoye MRBM complex was identified on KEY-
HOLE photography of September 1961 (Figure 1).
Launch Site No 1 is located about 8 nm south-southwest of Barano-
Orenburgskoye (Figure 2). The four launch pads are of irregular config-
uration. Each pad area is approximately 15CI feet in diameter with the
pad centers about 690 feet apart. A probable missile support area is
located about 500 feet southeast of the southeastern-most launch pad.
A probable housing area is located about 4,280 feet to the north. Hal-
ation and poor quality photography precludes a positive identification,
as to the number and size of buildings in the support installation.
Launch Site No 2 is located 3 nm southeast of the town of Barano-
Orenburgskoye, and about 5 nm northeast of launch Site No 2. The four
pads are in an "inline" configuration with each pad area measuring about
150 feet in diameter (Figure 2). Spacing between each pad center is
approximately 250 feet. A probable missile support area is located im-
mediately adjacent to the launch area, and contains at least 13 buildings.
The three largest buildings are approximately 130 by 65 feet. Another
support facility is located about 2,100 feet west-northwest of the launch
area and contains one probable drive-through building 225 by 100 feet,
two buildings 85 by 45 feet, one building 120 by 45 feet, and six to eight
other buildings of varying dimensions. A probable housing facility is
located about 2,000 feet west of the support facility and contains about
ten buildings of varying dimensions.

1. Conclusions
Belokorovichi is a confirmed MRBM launch complex.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
The Belokorovichi MRBM launch complex was identified on KEYHOLE
photography of June 1961 (Figure 1).
Launch Site No 1 is located approximately 3 r,m northwest of Belokoro-
vichi and 33 nm west-southwest of Ovruch (Figure 2). Four launch pads
form a rectangle measuring .900 by 535 feet and are interconnected by a
series of roads. The pad areas are 200 feet across. In some respects,
the site resembles Launch Area 2C at Kapustin Yar and appears completed.
The road pattern and clearings in the woods immediately behind the launch
pads indicate the probable presence of drive-through buildings. Eleven
buildings 2,000 feet east of the launch pads probably serve as housing and
support for personnel. One nm southeast of the launch pads is a large
military barracks area. This area has been reported to have been rebuilt,
and may possibly be associated with the nearby launch sites.
Launch Site No 2 is located about 2 nm northeast of the site described
above (Figure 3). It appears identical in configuration and size, although
the placement of the housing and support buildings is slightly different.
This site, probably in the late stages of construction, has a rectangular
configuration with four launch pads. The small support area located about
1,000 feet to the south of the launch site contains six buildings. Although
there is a rail line about 3 nm to the south, the launch site is not rail
served. Access to the launch site appears to be limited to a single access
road which connects with the road to Belokorovichi.

I. Conclusions
Disna is a confirmed MRBM launch complex.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
The Disna MRBM launch complex, identified. on KEYHOLE photography
of August-September and December 1961, consists of two launch sites each
with four pads arranged in a rectangular configuration (Figure 1). Launch
Site No 1 is located approximately 2 nm northeast of Disna. Launch Site
No 2 is situated 6.5 nm east-northeast of Site No 1 (Figures 2 and 3).
Both sites have an adjacent support facility and are road served. Another
support area is associated with Launch Site No 2 and is located 0.5 nm to
the northwest. This support area is similar in appearance to that serving
the Torva complex.

I. Conclusions
Dolina is a confirmed MRBM launch complex.
II. Background
A. Photographic Evidence
The Dolina MRBM launch complex was identified on KEYHOLE photog-
raphy of June 1961 (Figure 1).
The two launch sites at Dolina have a different configuration from
other confirmed MRBM sites observed to date. Differences include launch-
pad arrangement, orientation of pads with respect to support areas, and
distances between launch pads and housing and support areas.
Launch Site No 1 is located in a large forested area 7 nm north-
northeast of Dolina and 14 nm southeast of Stryy (Figure 2). The site has
four pads and may contain drive-through and other buildings. The general
appearance of the site places it in the last stages of construction. The
resolution in the photography, however, precludes a precise determination
of construction status..
Launch Site No 2 is located about 3.5 nra northeast of the site de-
scribed above (Figure 3). This site, like Site No 1, may also be in the last
stages of construction and has four launch pads. Although the area was
partially obscured by haze and no buildings were discernible, the road
pattern indicates the existence of one or two drive-through or other type
of buildings. A housing and support facility is adjacent to the launch site
on the south.
