This joint photographic in ellia.,.,,.. report has been prepared by the Army.
Navy, and Central IntellIg .rr Agency as a partial answer to a general requirement
toz a detailed analysis of the Kapustin Yar/Vladimirovka Missile Teat Center. It
combines the photography in presenting a
detailed photo analysis of the Probable Aerodynamic Missile Facilities at the Ks-
pustin Yar/Vladlmi ovka Missile Test Center. A similar analysis of the Surface-
to-Air Missile Facilities has already been published in PIC/JR-1008/61, and
Launch Complex "E" and Troop Training Launch .Complex "G" of the Surface-to-
Surisce Missile Facilities have been reported, respectively, in PIC/JR-1005/61
and PIC/JR-1006/61. Analysis is continuing an other complexes and facilities in
the Missile Test Center.
This report presents a comparative analysis of the
-photography. and the line drawings portray in green all changes and
addition subsequent to =coverage. All reported azimuths are referenced
from True North, and the term miles in the text refers to nautical miles. A table
an page 28 provides geographic coordinates of the major areas within the Probable
Aerodynamic Missile Facilities.

historically has been associated with So-
viet Air Force activities, as contrasted,
with Soviet Artillery activities at ifapustin
Yar, provides second- and third-echelon
support, and is probably the headquarters
for over-all operational control of this
program as well as the airborne weapons
program-
The Vladimirovka Support Base, like
the one at Kapustin Yar, is situated along
the Stalingrad/Astrakhan railroad, and an
all-weather road connects Vladimirovka
and Kapuatin Yar. Vladimirovka is also
served by Volga River barge traffic frmf
the nearby docking facilities at Petrro-
pavlovak.
From Vladimirovka, a branch rail
line and an all-weather road lead out to
Launch Complex "d', and the road con-
tinues on to Launch Complex "C". An
overhead power line from Vladimirovka
services complex "I7' and probable buried
pipelines provide water for both the launch
complex and the fabrication complex. In
addition, a Class 1 airfield at Vladimirovka
services the fabrication complex.
t -u.-h C-Plax "D", which conati-
itses the major portion of the Probable
Aaodymnic Missile Facilities, includes
a lataa gFrea, several patterns of guidance
and/or Instrumentation, an id efei native
and logistical support area, andanassem-
dly and checkout area (see Figure 3).
Those facilities are widely dispersed. over
aw area of about 450 square miles, which
lien north and east of the Vladimirovka
Sw4r rt Base. However, excud 9ngthe rear
and ferd imtn networks, the
facilities are situated along tth branch
rail line and all-weather road servicing
the complex from Vladimirovka.
In _ construction was -still under
way. an two launch sites at the` launch
area, the forward instrumentation net-
work, and the assembly and checkout area.
In _ these facilities were complete
and another launch site and instrumenta-
tion network had been added during the
interim period of two years. In addition,
an expansion program was under way at
the launch area so as to provide at berth

INTRODUCTION
The Probable Aerodynamic Missile
Facilities consume a large portion of
dos Kapuatin Yar/Vladimirovka Missile
Test Center which is located about 60
miles southeast of Stalingrad along the
Volga River Fined Plain (see Figure 1).
Xiese facilities may occupy a unique.
pa "tlm in the family of known Soviet
a dsdle test facilities, for they can be
distinguished from all other test facilirlea
by certain distinctive physical character-
istics and operational requirements. In-
desd, these facilities strongly suggest
at the Soviets are concerned with the
development of large aerodynsmic-type
Salentine.
The facilities occupy a 675-square
Sails area in the southern portion of the
comer and have been grouped in two-
1Yectlaeal units, a launch complex, desig-
stoat Launch Complex "D", and a missile
fahciptldo complex (see Figures 2 and 3).

External support apparently comes
from Vladimirovka. An" overhead power
line extends from Vladimirovka to a sub-
station near the Launch Area, and prob-
able buried pipelines from Vladimirovka
satisfy the water requirements of the
complex, including water at the Launch
Area. Internal communications are prob-
ably effected by buried able lines inter-
connecting the facilities within the com-
plex.
The Launch Area, located at the ter-
minus of the branch rail line from Vladim-
irovks, consists of four contiguous launch
sites (Figure 4). The facilities at each
launch site strongly suggest an R&D pro-
gram involving aerodynamic-type mis-
siles. Of the four sites, there was evidence
of only two in =At that time, heavy
construction was essentially complete at
Launch Site ID, and construction had
(
begun on Site 2D approximately 30 days
prior to the _coverage. In=Launch
Site ID was complete and had been oper-
ative for some time, whereas the Initial
construction at Site 2D appeared to have
been abandoned a few months subsequent
to the- coverage. However, a much
smaller launch facility was constructed
at Site 2D, and it may have been utilized
for small-scale operations Between the
missions, launch Site 3D 25X1 D
was constructed and appeared to have
been operative for some time. Work had
begun on Launch Site 4D several months
prior to the _ coverage, and it then
appeared to be approximately 50 pet'cent
complete.

Only Launch Site ID is served by
rail, and all four sites are served by an
all-weather road. A probable buriedpipe-
line provides water for Site ID which is
apparently the only site requiring water
for its launch operations. Buried cable
lines probably provide communications
between the Launch Area and other facil-
ities in the #omplex.
It is significant to note that the launch
facilities here are somewhat unique. Noth-
ing comparable has been found at any
other Soviet launch area.

gauge track east ofthe launch structure.
The track, 155 feet long, extends eastward
from a point 30 feet- from the 'aunch
structure and terminates on a fill O feet
east of the pad surface. A lack of ddtailed
shadow prevents precise measurement of
the crane components. However, thtl con-
figuration and approximate dim ions
closely resemble several Soviet cons ruc-
tion cranes (see Figure 8), all of which
have a limited load-lifting capability of
3 metric tons (6,660, lbs)_ The crane

has a boom approximately 65 feet in

launch is probably vertical .pr near-

of the outer concrete wall of the curved
section provides a certain blast-deflection
capability which also suggests a vertical
or near-vertical launch.
The precise function of the tower
crane cannot be determined. However,-ats
weight lifting limitation indicates that it
laprobady incapable of either mating the
' vehicle to its launcher or erecting the
vehicle. Both the height of the crane and
its placement on the service pad, coupled
with its low lift -capability, suggest that
it is required onl# to lilt a relatively
25X1 D
lightweight object or objects from the
service pad to a point as high as-
above the erector-launcher. If the crane
is used to service a vehicle erected to
fire on a 90-degree azimuth, its 65-foot
boom would be incapable of reaching the
vehicle or -erector- launcher. However,
this limitation would not apply to a vehicle
erected to fire on a-20-degree azimuth.

The rear instrumentation, located 6.7

the largest, Site D-4, is the local control

appear to be in a state of disuse.
Site D-4: This site, located at the
vertex of the "L", is the largest of the
three sites and probably functions as the
local control center. It consists of a

an instrumentation building, a large prob-
