STATUS OF MILITARY FORCES NEAR THE SINO-SOVIET BORDER
A search of all portions of the Sino-SovietSino-Mon olian Border
covered 25X
mp is e in accordance with the prescribed procedure
of analysing each new mission in an attempt to determine possible changes
in the type or level of military activity within 150 nm of the Sino-Soviet/
Sino-Mongolian Border (significant items within 300 nm may also be included).
Figure 1 graphically illustrates the portions of the border areas that
were covered by photography (cloud cover and other limitations of photo-
graphic quality are not depicted).
The following items of interest were noted on
WAC 203
NEWLY IDENTIFIED MILITARY ACTIVITY, VOZZHAYEVKA, USSR 50 43N-128 43E
Previously unreported military activity is observed on an abandoned
sod landing area which is located on the south edge of Vozzhayevka (See
Figure 2). A large tracked and wheeled vehicle driver training circuit
and 10-15 buildings under construction are located on the former sod
rlaLL~ng area. Comparative photographic coverage of
I Ishows no activity on the sod airfield, but photographic coverage
does show some limited activity in the area.
SEBUCHAR ARMY BARRACKS AL-l, USSR 45 48N-133 39E
All of the training facilities at this installation appear to have
a high level of activity. One new vehicle loop is noted at the APC firing
range.
KAMEN-RYBOLOV MILITARY COMPLEX, USSR 44 46N-132 OlE
Extensive ground scarring was observed throughout the training areas
located between the Kamen-Rybolov Army Barracks NE and the Kamen-Rybolov
Army Barracks Troitskoy. Extensive ground scarring was also noted at the
tank/assault gun firing ranges that are located NW of these installations.
This extensive training activity is indicative of a high level of training
activity.

of the Sino-Soviet Border (see document reference).
POSSIBLE MILITARY ACTIVITY, OTAR, USSR 4+3 33N-075 13E
A large number of unidentified vehicles/pieces of equipment (200-250
estimated) are observed in an unidentified installation that is located
approximately 1.5 nm north of Otar. A comparative analysis of photography
dated indicates that these vehicles/pieces of equipment are
new since A comparison with earlier photography indicates
that a slight increase in activity has occurred at this installation since

vehicles/pieces of equipment observed.
