A new type of air-to-air missile AAM facility has been observed
at five airfields in the USSR on KEYHOLE photography. These
facilities, probably associated. with the ASH (AA-5) missile, have been
identified at the following airfields: Kotlas South, Arkhangelsk/Talagi,
Pionerskiy, Mary North, and Omsk East (Figure 1). The ones at Kotlas
South and Arkhangelsk/Talagi are complete; the ones at the other airfields
are in various stages of construction. The facility at Kotlas Airfield
South was first identified in however, initial construction
of this type of facility may have begun as early as - at
Arkhangelsk/Talagi.
Characteristically, the new-type facility has two large AAM handl-
ing and/or storage buildings measuring 140 by 80 feet each, like those
at Kotlas Airfield South (Figure 2). These double-bay drive-through
buildings are usually parallel to each other and serviced by loop roads,
but the facility at Arkhangelsk/Talagi is a modification of the existing
AAM facility and contains only one new-type building. Similar facilities
to the one at Kotlas South are being constructed at Omsk Fast, Pionerskiy,
and Mary North.
Between FIDDLER supersonic long-range
interceptors were deployed to Kotlas South, Arkhangelsk/Talagi, and Omsk
East. ASH missiles and crates were observed at these same airfields
concurrently with the FIDDLER deployment.
The ASH missile is presently associated with the FIDDLER aircraft.
Therefore, it is probable that FIDDLER aircraft will be deployed to Mary
North and. Pionerskiy airfields where the new-type AAM facility is still
in an early construction stage. The ASH missile may also be utilized
eventually by the FOXBAT, a new-generation multipurpose aircraft not yet
deployed.
