III. SUMMARY
8005 PROVIDES EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHIC COVERAGE OF A
CRITICAL PORTION OF THE VOLGA RIVER AND PLAIN. INVALUABLE INFORMATION
IS RECORDED FOR DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION
OF THE KAPUSTIN YAR/VLADIMIROVKA MISSILE TEST CENTER DURING THE PERIOD
OF OVER 28 MONTHS SINCE THE PREVIOUS TALENT COVER. A WIDE St4ATH OF
THE VOLGA PLAIN FROM NORTH OF KUYBYSHEV TO STALINGRAD IS PHOTOGRAPHED
FOR THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF WESTERN OBSERVERS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE
LdORLD 4fAR II.
8005 ADDS SIXTEEN HEXAGON SURFACEmTOmAIR PAISSILE SITES

A RANGE IN THE ORDER OF 350 NAUTICAL MILES?

CONSTRUCTION IN THE COMPLEX.
THE FOLLOWING MAJOR POINTS ARE HIGHLIGHTED
1. SINCE SEPTEMBER 1957: THE KAPUSTIN
YAR/VLADIMIROVKA MISSILE TEST CENTER HAS UNDERGONE
CONSIDERABLE EXPANSION BY THE ENLARGEMENT OF EXISTING
FACILITIES AND BY THE ADDITION OF MANY NEW ONES. THIS
FACTOR CLEARLY INDICATES THAT THE CENTER CONTINUES TO
BE A MAJOR SOVIET MISSILE FLIGHT TEST FACILYTY.
2. THE SAM COMPLEX APPEARS 1'O BE THF. MAIN
SOVIET CENTER FOR SURFACE-TO~AIR MISSILE FLIGHT
TESTING TROOP TRAINING: AND POSSIBLY. UNIT EQUIPMENT
OUTFITTING. THE T410 NEW PROTOTYPE SITES IDENTIFIED IN
THIS MISSION MAY WELL CONSTITUTE THE NEXT GENERATION
SAM SYSTEM OR AN IMPROVEMENT OF A PRESENT SYSTEM.
3. THE NUMBER OF BALLISTIC AND CRUISE
MISSILE LAUNCH POINTS HAS DOUBLED SINCE SEPTEMBER 1957?
FOR EXAMPLES THE CENTER NOW INCLUDES FIVE MAJOR LAUNCH
COMPLEXES L~~ITH 18 FIXED LAUNCH POINTS (5 UNDER
CONSTRUCTION; AS CONTRASTED 4/ITH FOUR COMPLFXF.S AND 9
FIXED LAUNCH POINTS ;ONE UPJDEP, COnISTRUCTIONi IN 1957.
IN ADDITIONe THE CENTER NOW ALSO INCLUDES THREE TROOP
TRAINING LAUNCH SITES FOR LARGE ROAD-MOBILE BALLISTIC
MISSILES. THIS INCREASE' COUPLED 4!ITH THE INCREASED
NUMBER OF SUPPORT FACILITIES AND THE PRESENCE OF A
LARGE NEW ASSOCIATED TROOP BIVOUAC AREA CAPABLE OF
QUARTERING 69BPJ0 TROOPS9 INDICATES AN EXPANDED FLIGHT
TESTING AND TROOP TRAINING PROGRAM AT THE CENTER.
