TATISHCHEVO ICBM COMPLEX, USSR
25X1
The Tatishchevo ICBM Complex is located west of Saratov, in hilly country
surrounding the town of Tatishchevo. The complex extends 33.5 nm in a gen-
eral northeast-southwest direction; at present, the westernmost launch site
is 24.5 nm from its counterpart in the east.
The complex (Figure 1) consists of a complex support facility, a rail-to-road
transfer point, and 36 Type IIID launch sites. The launch sites are considered
to be formed into 4 launch groups (A, B, C, and D). Two of the launch groups
(A and B) consist of a collocated launch site and electronic control facility
and 9 additional launch sites; a third launch group (C) consists of 9 launch
sites, with the location of the electronic control facility as yet undetermined;
and the fourth launch group (D) consists of 6 launch sites but probably will
be expanded to a total of 10 sites. The association of Launch Site 35 with a
particular launch group has not been determined.
Tatishchevo is the only complex in the USSR comprised solely of Type
IIID launch sites. There was no evidence of the complex 25X1 D
I I The complex support facility and Launc roue were
first seen Missile-related activity was first
noted in Tatishchevo Iwhen construction on 2 hard ICBM launch sites
was begun but shortly abandoned.
The only SAM sites identified in the vicinity of the complex are those
for the defense of Saratov.
