SUBJECT: Determination of Communication Links Between Triad Sites at
Both Moscow and Sary 81 ran
REFERENCE: (a) Requirement C-S14-81,982
(b) CIA/PID Project 30013-5
A. This memorandum is in response to your requirement dated 4 November 1964
which requests a search for the existence of communication links between the,four
triad sites in the Moscow area and also the existence of communication links be-
tween the four triad sites at Sary Shagan.
25X1D 2. KEYHOLE provided
the best quality photographic coverage of the Moscow area. The four triad sites
located at surface-to-air BA-1 missile launch sites E-5, E-15, E-24, and E-33 were
all examined for possible conIInunicat:on facilities however, no coimnunicationfaci-
lities were observed ccnnecting any of these sites. An examination.was?also made
of the DOGHOUSE antenna for 96 possible link between this facility and the triad
sites. No communication facilities were observed connecting these sites.

3. KEYHOLE provided the
beat usable quality. photography of the triad sites at'Sary Shagan. These four triad
sites are located at Instrumentation Site 2, Instrumentation Site 10, Instrumentation
Site 13 and Launch Complex B. No communication facilities connecting these sites
were observed on clear photography. However, due to extensive ground scarring and
the presence of various poles, masts, and towers in the instrumentation areas it
is impossible to confirm or negate a possible communications link between the triad
sites. 25X1A
