the Moskva area. The information contained in this report is based on
This photographic interpretation report is one of a series published in par-
tial response to CIA requirement C-D15-83,143 which requests detailed line
drawings, to scale, of facilities associated with probable ABM deployment in
photography of and does not reflect changes
served since that time.
The precision target plots included in this report are mathematically recti-
fied projections of the area. Plots are compiled by utilizing precision mensura-
tion instruments. However, only partial stereoscopic imagery was available for
photo interpretation because of cloud cover. Identifiable image points are
measured and their coordinate values mathematically transformed by a compu-
ter. This transformation corrects for camera and attitude (pitch, roll and yaw)
induced distortions but does not correct for displacement due to ground relief
and object height.
All mensuration utilized in the preparation of this report was accomplished
by NPIC/TID.,, The horizontal and vertical measurements cited are computed
values, as derived, and do not reflect numerical round-off unless otherwise
specified. In the. Launch Area, horizontal measurements are accurate to within
plus or minus Iwhichever is greater. Vertical measurements
are accurate to In the Support Area, horizontal
measurements are accurate to within plus or minus 4 percent and vertical
measurements to within plus or minus 5 feet.
These. target plots represent the most accurate data compiled to date, but
the user is cautioned to exercise care in scaling distances or determining
azimuths from' these plots for relief can introduce errors in distance and align-
ment.

PROBABLE ABM LAUNCH COMPLEX E33
MOSKVA, USSR

Probable ABM Launch Complex E33 is located approximately 45 nautical
miles (nm) northwest of Moskva, USSR, at 56-20N 36-43E (Figure 1). The com-
plex, which is superimposed on the north end of the Launch Area of SA-1
SAM Site E33-1, consists of a dual triad and preliminary contruction work
on 8 launch positions. The probable ABM launch complex is separately secured
by a double fence. It also contains a T-shaped earth-mounded building, a
heating plant, a substation, a probable security building at the entrance to
the complex, and approximately 8 support and miscellaneous buildings (Figures
2 and 3).

The first activity observed in at the com lex was 25X1
the construction of an access road. In Triad 1 25X1
was observed under construction for the first time. It now appears to be exter-
nally complete (Figure 3). Building A in Triad 1 measures 25X1
high. An environmental shelter 110 feet in diameter encloses a solid parabolic
dish 60 feet in diameter. Buildings B and C measure 25X1
An environmental shelter is on the roof of each building.
However, the antenna within each shelter has not been identified. Building D
Although the height of Building D cannot be deter-
mined, it is less than that of Building A. The distances between the estimated
centers of the environmental shelters on Buildings A, B, and C in Triad 1 are
as follows: between Buildings A and B, 990 feet; between Buildings B and C,
800 feet; and between Buildings C and A; 885 feet.
Eight launch positions (1B1-1B4, 1C1-1C4)* under construction have been
identified in Triad 1. This construction was first noted in 25X1
Launch Positions 1B1-1B4 appear to be associated with Building B and
Launch Positions 1C1-1C4, with Building C. At Launch Position 1B2 a circular
object or structure in diameter is the only item related to a launcher-
erector mechanism that has been identified. The minimum distance between a
launch position and the estimated center of an environmental shelter is approx-
imately 215 feet and the maximum distance, approximately 375 feet.
Triad 2 (Figure 3) was first identified in F_ J when 25X1
it was under construction. Earth scarring was discernible at this site in 25X1
The triad now appears to be in a late stage of construc-
tion. Building A measures Two wings, one 25X1
feet and the other are situated at the north and west corner
the building and are parallel to the long axis of the building. A circular base
for an environmental shelter is on the roof of this build-
ing. Buildings B and C measure A circular base for 25X1
an environmental shelter on the roof of Buildin B is the 25X1
circular base for such a shelter on Building C is This dif- 25X1
ference in size may be due to a discrepancy in mensuration rather than to a
real difference in size. A building similar to Building D in Triad 1 is not pres-
ent in Triad 2. Two probable tanks, each 35 feet in diameter, are under con-
struction north of Building A. The distances between the estimated centers
of the circular bases for the environmental shelters on the principal buildings
The first number in each designation is the triad in which the launch position is located; the
letter is the building with which the position is associated; and the last digit, the launch po-
sition itself. Numbers have been assigned to each position in a clockwise direction around the
appropriate triad building.
