The Nizhnyaya Tura AMM/SAM Launch Complex, located 9.6 nautical miles
(nm) NNE of Nizhnyaya Tura, USSR, was first observed and identified
- --re sent i
T
In its present stage of development the complex consists
of 3 launch sites and an electronics site under construction, and 2 support
areas. The configuration of the complex resembles that of Sary-Shagan AM/
SAM Launch Area 1. A faint trace through the woods NGJ of the launch sites,
however, may be a fence under construction, which would in effect enclose
an area capable of accommodating 2 additional launch sites, possibly produc-
ing the 5 site configuration seen at Tallinn and Cherepovets AM/SAM Launch
Complexes. No detail other than the distinctive road pattern is discerni-
ble at the individual launch sites.
The electronics site, located approximately 3,740 feet NE of Launch
Site B, consists of clearings for 3 radar positions and a probable central
control position. It is connected with the launch sites by an access road
east of Launch Site A. A support area, located west of the launch com-
plex, consists of approximately 10 buildings. A second support area, lo-
cated near Launch Site B, consists of approximately 5 buildings.
