SANTA MARIA DEL ROSARIO VEHICLE PARK
CUBA
SURFACE-TO-SURFACE FROG (FREE ROCKET OVER GROUND).
2. REMARKS: THIS ROCKET IS SELDOM OBSERVED
ON AERIAL COVERAGE, PROBABLY DUE TO METHOD OF STORAGE, DEGREE OF
ACTIVITY, AND QUANTITY OF THIS PARTICULAR ROCKET IN THE CUBAN
INVENTORY. BOTH THE TRANSPORTER/LAUNCHER AND THE FROG-5 VERSION
OF THE ROCKET HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN HAVANA PARADES OF 2 JAN 1964
AND 1965. HOWEVER, THE IMPRESSION RECEIVED FROM THIS PARTICULAR
IMAGERY WAS THAT OF A POSSIBLE FROG-3 VERSION OF THE ROCKET. SCALE
AND CANVAS COVERING OVER THE ROCKET PRECLUDE DEFINITE IDENTIFICATION.
3. LOCATION: 0.3 NM SOUTH OF SANTA MARIA DEL
ROSARIO AT 23-03-27N 082-15-30W (Ulm 17QLR710503).
4. COLLATERAL:
THE DIA, ORDER OF BATTLE SUMMARY,
DATED 1 MAY 1965, ESTIMATES THE CUBAN INVENTORY TO BE 6-8 FROG
5. FIRST IDENTIFICATION:
