Highlights of this reporting period are summarized below (Figure 1): Paragraph(s) Figure(s) ? The tenth, 11th, and 12th launches of the SS-X-25 at 5 Plesetsk were probably from a road-mobile TEL. ? A second type C single-bay garage was identified under 6 construction in the Missile Handling Facility at Plesetsk. ? The 13th launch of an SS-X-24 was probably from 9-10 5 a rail-TEL. ? The Soviets continued the effective use of camouflage, 21-24 concealment, and deception related to the testing of the SS-X-25 and SS-X-24. ? Type C single-bay garages were confirmed at Yurya 27 8 Mobile Base 6, indicating that it will probably support the SS-X-25. ? The 51st through 56th SS-20 mobile missile bases were 36, 37, 49, identified at Brody, Sokal, Barnaul, Kansk, Usovo, 51, 60, 68 and Belokorovichi, respectively. ? The nine single-bay garages at Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 3 57 16 were dismantled. ? The flight test program of the KY-15, the probable 79 19 follow-on to the SS-20, started at Kapustin Yar. ? A new-type TEL and a missile canister dolly probably 85-87 20 & 21 for the KY-15 were identified at Kapustin Yar. ? Modified hardened dome antennas, possibly for 43, 48 communicating with airborne command posts, were at the Romny and Lutsk division command posts. ? A new type of satellite communications station, 39-40, 43, 56 designated Type E, was observed at the Mozyr, Romny, and Lida division C3 facilities. Related Activity ? Early indications of what may be SS-20 construction were 116-118 observed at Korosten, Zhitomir, and Kansk. (TSZ) LATE DEVELOPMENTS Kansk the former Kansk possible SS-20 construction area was confirmed as a new mobile missile base, possibly for the SS-20 IRBM. It has been designated Kansk Mobile Missile Base 4. Tree clearing for at least five probable single-bay garages, two probable multibay garages, and a loop road was identified in a pattern typical of mobile missile base construction. This construction area was 25X1 25X1 Akhtyrka ? SS-20 equipment consisting of 12 canvas-covered missile support vans and one proba- ble canvas-covered TEL with training canister had arrived in the vehicle maintenance area of Akhtyrka Mobile IRBM Base 2. Construction was continuing throughout the facility. The operations area was in the late stages of construction, with all nine single-bay garages and three four-bay garages externally complete. Open cable trenches remained evident throughout the operations area, and construction materials/equipment remained in front of two of the four-bay garages. The C3 and support areas were both in the late stages of construction.

The equipment, which was located in two areas, consisted of at least ten probable missile support vans and one TEL with training canister. IThe TEL was in the support area. Construction was continuing throughout the facility. In the operations area, all nine single-bay ga- rages and all three four-bay garages were externally complete. However, modifications to the missile- ready bunker were not complete, and paving blocks had not been installed at one of the major intersections within the area. Construction throughout the rest of the base was in the late stages. Yurya one single-bay garage had been completely dismantled and been partially dismantled. This is the second of the five operational SS-20 bases at which single-bay garages have been dismantled. garages at Mobile IRBM Base 3 were dismantled. (S/WN Glazov all nine ?

This section of the report addresses activ- ity related to the development, deployment, and production of mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles (Figure 2). Discussion covers the identifica- tion of type C single-bay garages at Yurya Mobile Missile Base 6; continued construction of the mobile missile base at Yoshkar-Ola; additional analysis of the possible rail-TEL for the SS-X-24; the fourth launch of an SS-X-24 probably from a rail- 1-FL; and an update of the continued expansion of the two probable ICBM-associated solid motor production facilities at Kamensk-Shakhtinskiy and Pavlograd. (S/WN Development and Testing 4. Mobile Missile Base 2. The probable C3 upgrading that has been in progress since March continued, and at the end of the reporting period, the south side of the the base command post bunker was still exposed. This activity parallels that seen at the, four Plesetsk SS-16 bases prior to their conversion from older ICBM systems. The upgrad- ing may be preparing MOB 2 to support SS-X-25 operations, or it may be related to an overall SRF C3 upgrading program. If either is the case, similar activity should also be observed at the other three SS-16 bases. (S/WN) 5. SS-X-25 Activity. The tenth, 11th, and 12th tests of SS-X-25 ICBMs were probably from a TEL at LTS 23 (Table 1). No prelaunch activity was ob- served before the 26 July launch of an SS-X-25 from Plesetsk (DEFSMAC S/DQ/664-84 [SI). On he silos at LTS 23 and collocated LTS 24 were both open. Both silos have been open after previous probable mobile tests of the SS-X-25. pre aunch activity was ob- served at LTS 24. A camouflaged probable TEL and a large camouflaged vehicle were on site, and the silo door was open. The probable TEL was on the silo apron next to a probable test-range version of an azimuth alignment device 3. Mobile Missile-Associated Facilities. All four mobile ICBM bases at Plesetsk (MOB 1, MOB 2, LTS 5, and LTS 6; Figure 3) and all 42 of the launch reference positions (LRPs) were observed at least once. Canvas-covered probable azimuth alignment devices (AADs) were occasionally de- tected in some of the LRPs. In general, all four mobile missile-associated bases continued to be occupied as evident from the occasional observa- tion of personnel, vehicle tracks, and facility maintenance. In addition, both the complex driv- er/dispersal training area near LTS 16 and the one near MOB 1 were used during the quarter. However, no mobile missile-associated vehicles were identified in either of these areas.

No vehicles were observed at the collocated Plesetsk ICBM Launch Test Site 23, where the silo door was closed. On 10 September, DEFSMAC reported the launch of an SS-X-25 from Plesetsk at 1330Z (DEFSMAC . No evidence of the launch was observed approximately 20 hours and 30 minutes after the launch. On 2 October, DEFSMAC reported the unsuccessful test of an SS-X-25 from Plesetsk No prelaunch activity was identified, and no postlaunch imagery has been acquired. It should be noted that because of effective CC&D practices, the TEL for the SS-X-25 still has not been identified at Plesetsk. (TSR) it MOBILE ICBM FACILITY ?

Modifi- cation/construction in the modified SS-16/SS-X-25 receiving/inspection/checkout area in support of the SS-X-25 has increased. Construction of a second type C single-bay garage and a second 18- meter-deep, nine-bay garage was identified east of the rail line. When these structures are completed, the following buildings will have been constructed east of the rail line in support of the SS-X-25: ? two type C single-bay garages; ? two 18-meter-deep, nine-bay garages; ? one missile-/payload-associated clerestory building; ? one three-bay garage; ? one four-bay garage; ? one ing; fourth-generatiori calibration build- ? one two-bay, 18-meter-deep, open-sided shed; and ? one single-bay, drive-through building. The numbers and types of buildings being con- structed in this area indicate that the area east of the rail line will support the SS-X-25 ICBM as the battalion-sized crew training area at Kapustin Yar Bivouac/Troop Training Area supports the SS-20 IRBM. In addition, wall stanchions for the new probable clerestory building in the northwest section of the facility were installed. This building will probably have low-bay outer sections that are 42 by 12 by 8 meters and a high-bay center section about 42 by 20 meters (height undetermined). No road-mobile ICBM equipment has been identified in this facility, and no payload-associated crates were observed during the quarter. (S/WN) 7. Plesetsk Complex Driver/Dispersal Train- ing Area (previously reported as the complex DDTA near LTS 16). Construction of a new GSE parking/maintenance area continued throughout the reporting period at this double-fence-secured facility. Two quonset-like buildings were com- pleted, a third was under construction, and a type C garage was constructed between the two quon- set-like buildings. Sufficient space to build another type C SBG exists between the inner completed quonset-like building and the quonset-like build- new GSE parking/maintenance area and the driv- er/dispersal training area will probably support SS- X-25 field training exercises.

Launch Test Site 21. No activity was identi- fied during the reporting period to indicate that this site will participate in the flight test program of the SS-X-25. (S/WN) 9. Rail-Mobile SS-X-24-Associated Activity. One test of an SS-X-24 was conducted during the reporting period, probably from a rail-TEL (Table 2). In addition, construction of a fourth probable rail-mobile launch test position was identified at Plesetsk ICBM Launch Test Site 28, and construc- tion of additional probable rail-mobile, ICBM- associated facilities continued.

One to five railcars were in the rail- mobile SS-X-24 launch test facility (LTF) at LTS 28 Rail-mobile prelaunch activity was identifie when at least 11 railcars and two engines were in the LTF (Figure 5). Five railcars were on each of the spurs that straddle the buried launch control building, and two engines and at least one railcar were on the spur leading into the 102-meter-long, rail-in shed. The partially enclosed sides of the rail shed precluded determining whether any other railcars were under the shed. the number and location of the railcars and engines did not appear to change, and the presence of the possible rail- TEL identified could not be confirmed. EFSMAC reported the launch of an SS-X-24 from Plesetsk 84 [S]). Based on the activity identified during early September and previously identified rail-mobile activities, we believe that this missile was probably launched from a rail-TEL at LTS 28. If the rail-TEL close of the reporting period, as many as four railcars were on one of the spurs that straddle the buried launch control building. (TSR) 11. During June, the Soviets began con- structing a fourth probable rail-mobile SS-X-24 launch test position in the launch test facility. (TSR) 12. In late June, extension of the rail spur north of the buried launch control building was begun when ballast was added and graded in line with the east end of the rail spur. three objects possibly associated wit azimuth alignment of the missile guidance package were just past the end of the existing north rail spur in the area of the extension. When the extension of the spur is complete and the remaining probable azimuth alignment equipment is installed for the new probable position, four probable rail-mobile launch test positions will be in the LTF-two on each of the spurs that straddle the buried launch control building. Construction of the fourth launch test position continued at a moderate pace through the end of the reporting period. The probable rail-mobile launch test positions at LTS 28 provide a unique signature for a rail-mobile SS-X- 24 launch point that should be kept at the TOP SECRET RUFF classification level. (TSR) 13. trees were being cleared in a line west of the rail-mobile launch test facility toward the separately secured, rail-served section of Plesetsk Launch Control Facility B. Similar clearing was started from the 102-meter-long, rail-in shed at Launch Control Facility B toward the rail-mobile launch test facility during July. This tree clearing appears to be in a line without regard for terrain and suggests that equipment requiring line-of-sight will be installed at one or both facilities.

At the rail-served section of Plesetsk Launch Control Facility (LCF) B, no missile- or C3- associated railcars were identified. a swath was being cleared through the trees south of the 102-meter-long, rail-in shed toward the rail-mobile SS-X-24 launch test facility at LTS 28. The trees were being cleared in a line without regard for the hilly terrain or of the facility continued to be used as a temporary rail-transloading area for construction material delivered by rail for the modified Type IIIX LCF section of the facility. (S/WN) 16. Rail-Mobile SS-X-24 Missile Receiving and Checkout Area (MRACA). Construction of the rail-mobile SS-X-24 MRACA continued. Activity identified during the reporting period included the continuing construction of a large, probably rail-served building with a possible rail-through shed at its entrance; the near completion of a probable support building just north of the new large rail-served building; the near completion of a 102-meter-long, rail-in shed near the new build- ing; new, unidentified construction just southwest of the rail-mobile MRACA (but outside the securi- ty fence). (S/WN) 17. East Support Facility. Most construction at the new RTP area continued at a moderate pace; however, no new rail sections were installed in the spur that extends toward the main east-west complex road. It has not been determined if this spur will be a rail-turning wye or another rail- served facility. Rail sections and rail line compo- nents were still in the RTP area at the end of the reporting period. (S/WN) 18. Rail Line Construction at Plesetsk. Con- struction of the new section along the eastern extension of the main complex rail line continued slowly. It still cannot be determined whether this new spur will be a rail siding or the start of another major rail spur at the eastern end of the rangehead. Construction of the rail-to-road trans- loading point just outside LTS 28 progressed slowly. During July, a rail stop was installed about 0.25 nm southwest of the site, indicating that the eastern rail line extension will not be extended past its current terminus at this time. At the end of the reporting period, the only structure still under construction was the transloading dock. (S/WN) 19. Possible Rail-Mobile ICBM-Associated Activity. At the rail-turning wye approximately 1 nm south-southeast of the Missile Handling Facil- ity, reconstruction of the rail bed and installation of the rail line was completed I No additional grading/leveling or construction activi- ties were identified. The function of this area has not been determined. (S/WN) 20. Construction of the new rail-served area north of the SS-13 receiving, inspection, and checkout area continued. The new building will have two rail-through bays (each 84 by 9 by 9 meters) and a probable administration/support bay Also, the rail line was extended into the new area from the spur that originally terminated next to the SS-13 interim missile storage building. The function of this area has not been determined, but it probably is not being constructed to support SS-13 operations. (S/W N) 21. CC&D Activity. The Soviets continued the effective use of CC&D techniques at Plesetsk. Although 13 tests of the SS-X-24 and 11 tests of the SS-X-25 have been conducted, neither missile canister has been observed (Table 3). Moreover, even though four probable tests of the rail-mobile variant of the SS-X-24 and seven tests of the road- mobile version of the SS-X-25 have been con- ducted, no system-unique equipment-including a road- or rail-mobile TEL-has been confidently identified. We believe the lack of mobile missile signatures is the direct result of Soviet conceal- ment practices such as positioning mobile SS-X-25 equipment in buildings and under camouflage material suspended from poles, parking rail-mo- bile SS-X-24 equipment in rail sheds and buildings, and possibly designing and covering a rail-TEL for the SS-X-24 so that it is nearly indistinguishable from other rollingstock.

At least a section of this missile canister /aas identified during April 1972 at Tyuratam MTC LTS H1/2 during the popup/LAD test phase of the flight test program Although the identification at that time was tentative, the lack of confidence in the identification was due to poor image interpretability, not Soviet CC&D practices 22. The Soviet practice of building structures at launch test facilities-sliding-roof garages and rail-in sheds, for example-in which to house mobile launchers has severely hampered the iden- tification of mobile launchers during flight test programs. The reasons for building these types of structures at launch test sites probably include simulating deployed conditions, providing envi- ronmental protection, and implementing CC&D practices. For the road-mobile SS-X-25, the type C single-bay garage at LTS 23 probably simulates the operational, ingarrison environment for the SS-X- 25 TEL and contributes to decreasing the likeli- hood of observing the SS-X-25 TEL. Moreover, this onsite single-bay garage allows the Soviets to bring 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 RCA-01/0017/84 Top Secret RUFF Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP85T0006OR000300720001-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP85T0006OR000300720001-2 Top Se (Similar considerations probably also led to the construc- tion of seven partially or fully enclosed rail sheds for the rail-mobile SS-X-24. One shed is 45 meters long, fully enclosed (except for the ends), and located on a spur that leads directly into the rail- mobile missile receiving and checkout building. remaining sheds-five 102 meters long and one 300 meters long-are partially enclosed and situat- ed either in a launch-related area or in an area to provide temporary cover for many railcars. The six partially enclosed sheds are all 6 meters high, and the top 3 meters on each side have been covered, like the roof, with thin prefabricated sections. This (S/W N) vents. In the C3 area, the ten-bay garage and the C3 building were in the late stages of construction. A roof-mounted antenna array, similar to those seen at mobile SS-20 regimental C3 facilities, was under construction on the C3 building. No other antennas were visible. (S/WN) 26. I lat the Yoshkar-Ola ICBM Division Command Post Bunker, a small personnel bunker was being uncovered and will probably be removed, possibly in preparation for the construc- tion of new antennas. (S/WN) Yurya SSM Complex 27. Mobile Missile Base 6. At Yurya Mobile Missile Base 6 (formerly LP 11), new mobile missile-associated construction continued. F foundations for six type C single-bay garages could be confirmed, and clearings proba- bly for three more had been identified (Figure 8). Three seven-bay garages were in a late stage of construction, and modifications were continuing on the west missile-ready bunker. Vents have already been installed on the east missile-ready bunker.

Three additional type C garage foundations were identified, and it now appears that at least nine SBGs will be constructed (Figure 7). two of the seven-bay garages (previously reported as eight-bay garages) were externally complete with roof vents installed. The third seven-bay garage was externally complete but did not have roof Production Kamensk-Shakhtinskiy 28. The large fabrication-type building was nearly complete externally, and a probable rail spur to serve the building was under construction at Kamensk-Shakhtinskiy Solid Motor Production Plant. Ground preparations for two new buildings and a new roadway were also in progress. No additional construction occurred on the possible bay-charger line. (S/WN) Pavlograd 29. At Pavlograd Solid Motor Production Plant, construction on both the large fabrication building and the new three-bay building contin- ued. Construction on a rail spur to the new fabrication building and a new bay-charger line continued. Both the Kamensk-Shakhtinskiy and Pavlograd plants are involved in various stages of strategic rocket motor production, including pro- duction of SS-X-25 motors at Kamensk-Shakhtin- skiy and production of SS-X-24 motors at Pavlo- grad.

At Pavlograd Solid Motor Assembly and Test Support Facility (SMATSF), the building pro- gram which was resumed and expanded in early 1983 continued. In addition, construction in a new area of expansion was started along the northeast- ern boundary of the facility. The new expansion area includes construction for a concrete road and two probable rail spurs and ground preparations for two new buildings. Analysis of present fence realignments indicates that the new construction will approximately double the usable area of the facility. This construction is believed to be related to the new construction at the Pavlograd Solid Motor Production Plant. (S/WN) 31. Additionally at the SMATSF, construction of a new rail shed has begun on a new rail spur next to the existing 124-meter-long rail shed. This new shed could be as long as 350 meters when complete. (S/WN) Missile Support Rear Depots 32. Surovatikha. The pace of construction increased in the new missile receiving and storage area at Surovatikha Missile Support Rear Depot (Figure 9). Construction continued on the missile receiving and checkout building in the revetted area of the new storage facility. This 60- by 18- meter building will consist of a 12-meter-wide, high-bay section and a 6-meter-wide, low-bay section. Construction was also started on a third missile storage building, and space is available for two more missile storage buildings. This facility could be at least partially operational in mid-1985. Although this specialized storage facility has been under construction since 1978, the increase in the pace of construction at this time suggests that the area is probably associated with the SS-X-24 and/ or the SS-X-25. (S/WN) 33. Tambov. Construction continued on the two missile storage buildings at Tambov Missile Support Rear Depot. These two new buildings should be completed by the end of this year. In addition, a rail spur is under construction, and associated expansion is taking place in the open transshipment yard in the eastern part of the depot. This expansion could be related to the storage of the SS-X-24 or the SS-X-25.

This section of the report addresses not- able activity identified during this reporting period regarding deployment, development, and pro- duction of mobile intermediate-range ballistic mis- siles (IRBMs). It includes information on the identification of the 51st through 56th mobile IRBM bases at Brody, Sokal, Barnaul, Kansk, Usovo, and Belokorovichi, respectively, an indica- tion of the continued accelerated Soviet deploy- ment of SS-20s; the dismantlement of all nine single-bay garages at Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 3; the onset of the flight test program for the KY-15 (probable follow-on S-20); and the identifi- cation of a new EL and missile canister dolly at Kapustin Yar (Figures 10A and 10B). Also provided is a summary of significant activity ob- served at deployed bases, field training areas, and testing and production facilities. Tables summariz- ing field training areas, mobile missile base con- struction, and C3 activity can be found in the appendix. (TS Deployment 35. Mobile IRBM base construction contin- ued at an unprecedented rate (Figure 11). Six new SS-20 bases were identified during this reporting period, bringing the number of new SS-20 bases identified this year to 12. The SS-20 force now consists of 56 confirmed bases: 42 complete and 14 under construction (one of the 14, Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 3, was being dismantled). Preparations for the probable construction of at least five more bases were in progress at three former SS-4 launch sites-Korosten launch site 2, Belokorovichi launch site 1, and Zhitomir launch site 2-and in two areas in the Kansk Division (see paragraph 118). If these are confirmed as bases and if the Pruzhany and Ruzhany bases are resubordinated to Lida,* the Soviets would have 11 SS-20 divisions of five bases each and one division, Novosibirsk, with six.

Two additional clearings, large enough to accom- modate four-bay garages, were also present. Addi- tional footings, possibly for a C3 building, were observed along the perimeter of the operations area S/WN) 37. Belokorovichi. the 56th mobile IRBM base was identified under construc- tion at Belokorovichi MRBM Launch Site 2. The new base, designated Belokorovichi Mobile IRBM Base 1, is the second mobile IRBM base identified in the Belokorovichi Division. This site was re- ported as a deactivated SS-4 site As deactivation was taking place, initial signs of tree clearing were noted. three clearings for four-bay garages were identified. One of these contained the actual footings for a garage, a second set of footings had been installed. Also identified were foundations for a C3 building and its associated multibay garage, clearings for several probable single-bay garages, and a cleared swath for a security fence.

A new type of satellite communi- cations station was under construction at the Mozyr IRBM Division Headquarters Radio Com- munications Transmitte The station, designated Type E, was in the late stages of construction and consists of a two-story, building with two square antenna ped- estals n he roof. raised section is between the pedestals. No anten- nas were observed. (S/WN) 40. The Mozyr Division already has a Type A satellite communications station. The addition of the Type E station would make Mozyr the only SS- 20 division with two permanent satellite communi- cations stations. The reason for this increased satellite communication capability has not yet been determined. (S/WN) 42. A tower-mounted TWIN EAR antenna was observed ext to the Gresk SS-20 Payload Han ing acl I y. resk is currently the only SS-20 regiment-level facility, as well as the with a tower-mounted TWIN EAR. Construction on the tower and the associated control building began in early February. Tower-mounted TWIN EAR anten- nas were previously seen only at division-level SS- 20 C3 facilities.

C3 upgrading continued Romny MR/IRBM Division Command at the Post/ Bunker (see Mobile Missile Summary 23). 2.5X1 a Type E satellite communications station 25X1 adjacent to the control bunker was in the late stages of construction. Also, a modified hardened dome antenna was in the midstage of construction next to the control bunker (Figure 12). The modified hardened dome antenna is a Phase II hardened antenna believed to be used for com- municating with an airborne command post. Until October 1983, these antennas were only at ICBM launch sites and launch control facilities. Since then, however, modified hardened dome anten- nas have been under construction at four ICBM division command posts and the Lutsk MR/IRBM Division Command Post (see paragraph 48). The recent construction of modified hardened dome antennas at both IRBM and IC13M division com- mand posts indicates increasing deployment of this antenna and a possible increased airborne command post function within the SRF.

The three-story C3 building was complete, and the roof of the associated 11- bay garage was being tarred. One lattice mast antenna had been erected adjacent to the C3 building, and a single-story, flat-roofed building had been added to the motor pool section of the support area. Construction has advanced further and faster at this base than at any other base currently under construction. As a result, it seems likely that this will be the next base to achieve operational status. (S/WN) 46. Akhtyrka. Steady progress has been ob- served at Akhtyrka Mobile IRBM Bases 1 and 2, the fourth and fifth bases in the Romny Division. As of the number of single-bay garages at Mobile Base 1 remained at seven, unchanged from the last reporting period. However, all three four- bay garages were in late stages of construction, with the roof of one of these buildings almost completely tarred. Similarly, the C3 building and its associated 11-bay garage were in late stages of construction in the old propellant storage area. (S/WN) 47. At Mobile IRBM Base 2 all nine single-bay garages had been erected. One of the four-bay garages was externally complete, RCA-0110017184 Top Secret RUFF one had a partially tarred roof, and the third had only two-thirds of its roof panels in place. The security building used to control access to the operations area was complete, and construction in the propellant area had progressed to the point where this area could now be confirmed as the new C3 area. Construction there consisted of a three-story C3 building and an 11-bay garage, both in late stages of construction. (S/WN) 48. Lutsk. Additional C3 upgrading occurred at the Lutsk IR/MRBM Division Command Post Bunker during this reporting period. three 28-meter lattice towers, probably supporting STICK PIN antennas, were near the control bunker, and a 2-2-2 FISHBONE antenna was in the 25X1 25X1 25X1 ZOA1 25X1 25X1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP85T0006OR000300720001-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP85T0006OR000300720001-2 Top Secret RUFF late stages of construction northeast of the bunker.

Construction has continued since the initial identification of Ostrog as a mobile base Construction was still in the early stages, with foundations present for one multibay and two four-bay garages. three single-bay garage foundations had been added. (S/W N) 51. Brody. the 51st mobile IRBM base was identified in the midstage of construction at Brody MRBM Launch Site 3, a former SS-4 silo launch site. This base is the first SS-20 base to be constructed at a deactivated hard SSM launch site in the western USSR. The new base, designated Brody Mobile IRBM Base 1, was previously re- ported in the Late Developments section in Mo- bile Missile Summary Report 24. construction consisted of six single-bay garages, two five-bay garages, one multibay garage, and a probable C3 building. Five-bay garages have never before been constructed in the operations area of a mobile IRBM base in the western USSR; they have previously been confined to the operations areas of scratch-built bases in the east. Their presence at Brody may be due to the fact that SS-4 hard sites do not have the missile-ready bunkers which are present at SS-4 soft sites, and conse- quently, extra garage space for missile support vans (MSVs) is needed. (S/WN) Western USSR/Smolensk Army Postavy Division 52. Postavy. An SS-20-associated C3 exercise consisting of 11 camouflaged SS-20-associated ve- hicles was observed in a wooded area southeast of Postavy Mobile IRBM Base 1F ]A FINE PAIR antenna (proposed name) was mounted on one of the nine MSVs involved in the exercise. This is the first sighting of the FINE PAIR at this facility. (S/WN) 53. The FINE PAIR antenna system consists of two 2.0-meter-diameter screens/dishes on a lattice tower, mounted on an MSV (Figure 13).

Ruzhany.*I the opera- tions area of Ruzhany Mobile IRBM Base 1 contained foundations for eight single-bay garages in addition to the footings for three four-bay garages. These four-bay garages had progressed to the midstage of construction, with walls and some roof panels already installed. A foundation for a C3 building was added to the area that contained footings for an 11-bay garage. New vents had been installed on the former SS-4 missile-ready bunkers. (S/WN) 55. Pruzhany.* The 50th SS-20 mobile IRBM base was identified at Pruzhany Launch Site 1 on and designated Pruzhany Mobile IRBM Base 1. the foundation for a security building was in place outside the opera- tions area that contained foundations for four single-bay garages and two four-bay garages (Fig- ure 14). Additional clearings and construction material were also in this area. As at other recent SS-20 bases being constructed at deactivated SS-4 sites, the former propellant storage area has apparently been selected as the location for the new C3 area. Footings for an 11-bay garage and a probable C3 building were present. (S/WN) 56.

Because of the construction of Mobile Base 6 with type C SS-X-25-associated single-bay garages and because of the fact that only the single-bay garages are being disassem- bled, these SS-20-associated single-bay garages may be converted to the longer SS-X-25-associated garages, making this a second probable support base for the SS-X-25 in the Yurya Division.

Although the appen- dages were removed from one single-bay garage at Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 2 garage dismantlement has not yet fol- lowed. Similarly, although the appendages were removed from the single-bay garages at Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 1 between January and August 1984, the garages are still intact. Appendages at Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 4 have been absent from all but one single-bay garage since January 1984. Before appendage removal is determined to be an indicator of garage dismantlement and base con- version, activity at two additional SS-20 complexes, Novosibirsk and Verkhnyaya Salda, should be closely analyzed. Appendages have been removed from single-bay garages at the bases with appen- dages at Novosibirsk since September 1984 and at Verkhnyaya Salda since January 1983. But, unlike Yurya, no further dismantlement was observed at either Verkhn a a Salda or Novosibirsk. (S/W N Eastern USSR/Chita SRF Army 60.

Designated Kansk Mobile IRBM Base 3, it is the 54th mobile IRBM base identified in the Soviet Union and the third in the Kansk Division. This base, initially reported on in the Late Devel- opments section of Mobile Missile Summary Re- port 24, consists of an operations area with nine single-bay garage foundations and three five-bay garages in a mid-to-late stage of construction; a C3 area with a multistory C3 building and a ten-bay garage; and a general support area containing two multistory buildings, one multibay garage, a sin- gle-story administration building, and a steam- plant.

An MSV and five support vehicles were deployed with it. In September, four missiles were launched from the Drovyanaya area: the first on 2 September with a reentry location at Novaya Zemyla; the second and third on 6 September, 15 minutes apart, impacting at Novaya Zemyla and Kamchatka re- spectively; and the fourth on 10 September, with reentry also in Novaya Zemyla RCA-011'0017184 Top Secret RUFF Testing and Development 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 2.5X1 Kapustin Yar MSTC 25X1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP85T0006OR000300720001-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP85T0006OR000300720001-2 Top Secret RUFF ~ 73.

(T~ Table 6. KY-15 Launch Summary Launch Date* Launch Site Remarks* (mode)** .Although prelaunch activity was observed, no direct evidence of the launch (burnmarks, blast effects, or selfeject launch technique ISELTI rings) was identified 74. Activity in Support of SS-20 Flight Test- ing/Crew Training. Activity in support of SS-20 crew training was observed throughout the report- ing period. Based on the number, frequency, and locations of SS-20 regiments observed at the rangehead in 1984, it is likely that at least two SS-20 regiments are cycled through the rangehead each month. During the reporting period, DEFSMAC reported SS-20 launches on 20 July and on 4 and 31 75. A I battalion-sized SS-20 unit was at Kapustin Yar Mobile IRBM Crew Training Area (CTA) 1 and regimental-sized SS-20 units were at Kapustin Yar Mobile IRBM CTA 5 during July and September. One SS-20 battalion and occasionally elements of a second were observed in the battalion-sized operational train- ing area at Kapustin Yar MR/IRBM Bivouac/Troop Training Area during July, August, and September. As many as four SS-20 TELs with training canisters and three TEL chassis have also been observed on the driver-training course west of the Bivouac/ Troop Training Area at the same time that other SS-20 crew training was in progress. One SS-20 regiment and occasionally elements of a second regiment were in temporary storage or transit at Kapustin Yar Missile Receiving/Inspection/Storage Area during each month of the reporting period. SS-20 regimental-sized field training exercises have been observed nearly monthly in 1984 at the same time that at least one SS-20 regiment was in transit or temporary storage in the Receiving/Inspec- tion/Storage Area. This suggests that at least two and possibly three SS-20 regiments have been at and cycled through the rangehead per month in 1984. Although some of this activity probably is in support of crew training for regiments to be deployed at new bases, it is likely that the majority of the regiments observed at Kapustin Yar in areas historically associated with the SS-20 are from deployed complexes and are participating in cycli- cal training. (S/WN) 76. Additional SS-20 C3 activity has been identified at the rangehead.

At the same time, a second regimental C3 unit has been in the field with the launch battalions. The use of two regimental C3 units with one SS-20 regiment and the direct cable connection of missile support vehicles to STICK PIN antennas are unusual and have not been observed at deployed SS-20 com- plexes. It is also unusual that the STICK PIN antennas were installed in the Receiving/Inspec- tion/Storage Area, a missile/equipment transload- ing and temporary storage facility. STICK PIN antennas are installed at SS-20 regiment and division C3 facilities and are for UHF/VHF commu- nications within a complex. The STICK PIN anten- nas at the Receiving/Inspection/Storage Area were installed between January and March 1979 and separately secured by .August 1979. (S/WN) 77.

On another C3 unit was in the Receiv- ing/Inspection/Storage Area. The latter C3 unit at the Receiving/Inspection/Storage Area consisted of five MAZ-type MSVs and at least two unidenti- fied vehicles. Antenna masts were discernible on three of the MSVs. An antenna mast was at both ends of one vehicle, and a possible dish antenna was observed on one MSV. (S/WN) 78. Activity in Support of a Follow-on to the SS-20. (In previous Mobile Missile Summary Re- ports, this section was titled "Activity in Support of a New IRBM System.") Preparations for the flight test program of a probable follow-on to the SS-20, which has an interim designator of KY-15 was identified during the reporting period. a new-type, TEL, probably for the KY-15, was identified at Kapustin Yar General Support Area. =probable KY-15 prelaunch activity was identi- fied at the new launch test position at Kapustin Yar MR Test Complex C Site 1. DEFSMAC reported the launch of a KY-15 from Kapustin Yar a new-type mobile missile canister dolly was identified at the rangehead. (TSD 79. At Kapustin Yar MR Test Complex C Site 1, probable KY-15 prelaunch activity was under way On both days, thre mobile missile- associated vehicles-the easternmost was a proba- ble MSV-were cable connected on the major eas -west road in the new launch test position at the north end of the site. This new launch test position will be reported as launch position (LP) 1C-4. vehicle was under each of the two 18-meter-long, open-sided sheds at LP 1C-4.

Except for the MSV identified DEFSMAC reported the launch of a KY- 15 from the rangehead. It has been assessed that the KY-15 consists of the first two stages of the SS- X-25 with a different postboost vehicle and a MIRV payload. (T no camouflaged vehi- cles or equipment and no evidence of the launch were identified at Site 1. However, because of the identification of activity at LP 1C-4 just prior to the launch, it is likely that the KY-15 was launched from this new launch test position. an additional mobile missile canister was identified in the expended canister open storage area at [P 1C-2. This canister however, it did not appear to have a domed endcap attached. Therefore, although this canister appeared to be shorter than the complete SS-20 canisters in this area, it could not be determined if the new canister was a complete canister or only part of a canister. Some of the SS- 20 canisters in this area have been cut u or have had a section or sections removed. (TS 81. Also at Site 1, construction of the second probable single-bay garage in the southwest sec- tion of LP 1C-4 continued at a very slow pace. It should be noted that this second single-bay garage has a foundation different from the first type A/B garage in this area. The second garage at LP 1C-4 has a foundation consisting of two rows of about 11 footings, which are similar to the footings of the type B single-bay garage at LP 1C-3 at this site and the foundation and crossmembers observed on an apron at Novaya Mezinovka Missile Support Rear Depot in 1980. The foundation of the first single- bay garage was built using construction techniques and footings that appeared to be identical to those used to construct the type C (SS-X-25-associated) single-bay garages at Plesetsk, Yoshkar-Ola, and Yurya. It is important to note that there is no basic external difference in the appearance or capabili- ties of these single-bay garages constructed with the 11-footing foundations. (S/WN 82. At Kapustin Yar MR Test Complex C Site 8, a rail-mounted shed was constructed at LP 8C-2 during August and September. This shed is identi- cal to the one constructed at LP 8C-1. In addition, during August, a cable trench was excavated from the north subsurface building at LP 8C-1 to a small excavation just east of the site. Unidentified prob- able construction materials were near the small RCA-01%017/84 Top Secret RUFF excavation. The purpose of this new activity has not been determined but may be electronics related. This site is externally complete and proba- bly is capable of supporting the flight test program of a new mobile missile system. (S/WN) 83. At the new missile-associated area east of Kapustin Yar MR Test Complex C Site 4C1, con- struction continued at a slow pace. Most construc- tion appeared to be nearly externally complete by the end of the reporting period. The function of this area still has not been determined. (S/WN) 84. Kapustin Yar Support Areas. Transship- ment of elements of at least four probable SS-20 regiments were observed in the Kapustin Yar Missile Receiving/Inspection/Storage Area during the reporting period. In addition, an SS-20 regi- mental C3 unit was frequently observed set up and cable connected to the two separately secured STICK PIN antennas at the facility. Construction of the new possible mobile missile-associated nuclear payload handling facility in the Receiving/Inspec- tion/Storage Area continued at an extremely slow pace. (S/WN) 85. At Kapustin Yar General Support Area, activity probably in support of SS-20 crew training and the flight test program of the KY-15 was identified. In general, activity levels-vehicle arriv- als, training exercises, and the frequent observa- tion of large personnel formations-have signifi- cantly increased in the General Support Area over the last several months. Significant equipment and activity identified durin the re orting period included a new-type TEL and a new-type canister dolly, both probably or t e KY-15, and increased levels of driver training, with standard SS-20 TELs on the paved driver-training course north of the facility. (T~~ 86. I la new-type TEL was identified in the east missile/payload handling area of the facility. The vehicle is based on a six- axle MAZ-type chassis On all ac- quired images, this vehicle has carried a canvas- covered load simulator. The standard SS-20 TEL is The cab configuration of the new TEL is also different from that of the SS-20 TEL. Although the left cab extends to the front of the vehicle, the right cab is slightly recessed and is not contiguous with the left side of the vehicle. Although the cab configuration is different, the wheel spacing and overall length of this vehicle are compatible with the six-axle MAZ-chassis observed on the Minsk ring road in August 1981. Based on the timing of the identifica- tion of this new-type TEL at Kapustin Yar and at the production facility, it probably will be used for the KY-15 and also may be used for the SS-X-25 mobile ICBM.

Facilities constructed since 1978 at t General Support Area and probably in support the KY-15 include a new training/administration area, a new vehicle storage and maintenance area, the east and west missile/payload handling areas, a paved driver-training course, a rail-served missile/ payload transloading area, and a rail-to-road trans- loading area. Most of the buildings and structures at these facilities are complete, although some were in the late stages of construction.

Single-bay garage components continued to be fabricated and stockpiled at Bryansk Guided Missile Equipment Plant II. Garage components also continued to be stockpiled at at least three of the seven (Figure 22) missile support rear depots (MSRDs). Components for at least 36 single-bay garages were delivered to the field from July through September: nine each to Akhtyrka Mo- bile IRBM Base 1, Akhtyrka Mobile IRBM Base 2, Barnaul Mobile IRBM Base 5, and Yoshkar-Ola Mobile Base 1. By the end of September, enough components for the construction of at least 40 single-bay garages remained stockpiled at Bryansk and the MSRDs. Counts of single-bay garages stockpiled at the MSRDs and in the transshipment yards at Bryansk from July through September are listed in Table 7. (S/WN) 91. Bryansk Guided Missile Support Equip- ment Plant II. components for at least four single-bay garages were stockpiled at Bryansk.

Based on the analysis of the previous 12 HALIA I4SHE 8EHDICHFV 13 SNG GL AZOV 9 SHE FIGURE 22. SOVIET MISSILE SUPPORT REAR DEPOTS months, the production rate is estimated to be approximately 4.5 to five single-bay garages a month. The apparent low number of components shipped to the MSRDs (only components for at least four single-bay garages to Berdichev) sug- gests that the components produced at Bryansk probably went directly to the field rather than to the MSRDs. If production rates remained consis- tent with the previous 12 months, components for approximately 15 SBGs would have been shipped from Bryansk from July through September. (S/W N) Missile Support Rear Depots 92. Mobile missile vehicle transshipment ac- tivity was observed at Bobrovskiy MSRD, and single-bay garage components continued to be stockpiled at the Balta, Berdichev, and Glazov MSRDs, but not at Surovatikha. Components for at least 19 garages were shipped from three of the depots. Enough components remain stockpiled at the depots to construct at least 36 additional garages (Table 7).

Bobrovskiy. Mobile missile vehicle trans- shipment activity was in progress at Bobrovskiy MSRD This was the first sighting of SS-20 launch-associated vehicles at the depot. MSVs and two canvas-covered possible MSVs were on flatbed railcars at a drive-on ramp near the main airframe storage area. Neither the vehicles nor the railcars were present when this area was next imaged a second shipment of mobile missile-associated ve- hicles was in the same area. A canvas-covered SS- 20 TEL and eight canvas-covered SVs were on flatbed railcars. Bobrovskiy has probably been a storage facility for the SS-20 IRBM system since at least 1976, when probable SS-20 missile dollies were first identified at the facility. (S/WN) 94. It could not be determined whether the vehicles were departing or arriving at the depot. if the vehicles were being shipped from the depot, they were probably being sent to one of the three nearly complete mobile missile bases. There is ample garage space at Bobrovskiy to store several regiments of SS-20 equipment. Production of SS-20 vehicles probably continued in 1982 and 1983, when no new SS-20 bases were started in the western USSR. Bobrovskiy would be a likely place for storage of this equipment. If the equipment was arriving at the depot, it is most likely coming from a production plant for storage until being shipped to an operational base. Alternatively, these vehicles could have come from the Yurya SSM Complex. SS-20 vehicles had been removed from Yurya Mobile Base 3 and loaded on railcars at the Yurya Rail-to-Road Transfer Point 95.

The Volgograd Steel and Ma- chinery Plant Krasnyy Barricada 221 will be the assembly facility for the new 16.9-meter TEL identi- fied at the Kapustin Yar General Support Area. TwoMAZ six-axle chassis for the new TEL were in the missile support equipment area of the Ian Three canvas-covered chassis for the SS-20 were also present. Volgograd 221 assembles mobile-missile support equipment for several systems including the TEL for the SS-20, SS-21, and SS-23. TEL chassis are shipped to Volgograd from Minsk Motor Vehicle and Guided Missile Support Equipment Plant. A chassis was first seen at Minsk in March 1982, although no association to a specific missile system could be determined at that time. The presence of three SS-20 TEL chassis at Volgograd 221 may indicate a slight increase in the pro- duction of SS-20 TELs over the last reporting period, when the number of MAZ six-axle chassis present never exceeded two at any one time. (S/W N) 100. The new TEL chassis may also be used for the SS-X-25 TEL. The presence of different imprints and the use of a type C single- bay garage at Plesetsk Launch Test Site 23, a test launch site for the SS-X-25, indicate that the chassis for the SS-X-25 TEL is longer than the chassis for the SS-20 TEL. (TSR) 101. The new construction and improve- ments to Volgograd Remote Test Facility 3, which tests missile support equipment produced at Vol- gograd 221, continued. The construction on Pad C consists of footings and posts for a 54-meter-long, drive-through shed and two 20- by 20-meter possible vehicle storage sheds. The drive-through shed and possible vehicle storage sheds will prob- ably be used to house equipment being tested at the facility. The timing of their construction indi- cates the sheds are probabl related to the TEL to be produced from th chassis at Volgo- grad 221. A narrow shed has been constructed along the side of the single-bay garage in the main support area. No test-related activity was seen. (S/WN) 102. Remote Test Facility 1.

This section of the report addresses the deployment, research and development, pro- duction, and logistics of Soviet short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) systems. It summarizes the status of SCALFBOARD (SS-12) deployment in Eastern Eu- rope (Figure 24) and involvement in antitactical ballistic missile (ATBM) testing near Emba. Also discussed is the recent activity observed at the Kapustin Yar missile test range and status of SS-23 and SS-21s. An updated SRBM order of battle and a list of acronyms and abbreviations can be found in the appendix. (S/WN) SCALEBOARD Activity 106. NPIC still assesses that three SCALE- BOARD brigades are deployed in Eastern Europe, and another in Czechoslovakia. SCALEBOARD launchers were identified for the first time in late July and early August 1984 in two of the brigade areas. Two launchers were engaged in a field exercise in the Libava Training Area near facilities used by the brigade in Czechoslovakia R(A-01,0017/84 Top Secret RUFF 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP85T0006OR000300720001-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP85T0006OR000300720001-2 Top Secret RUFF 107. Alert launch positions were identified in July for the SCALEBOARD brigade in Czechoslo- vakia. Three probable battalion positions are lo- cated in the Libava Training Area (Figure 24); each battalion position contains six launch pads corre- sponding to a three-battery organization, each battery with two launchers. These positions con- firm the fact that the brigade has 18 launchers. The brigade probably redeployed from Yemilchino in the Carpathian MD. All the alert launch positions contain storage bunkers for nuclear warheads and missile airframes. NPIC believes that duty elements of SCALEBOARD brigades will be rotated at these alert launch positions, and that launch battalions and support elements of the brigades will rou- tinely be kept in the identified garrison areas. A second garrison was identified in the Libava train- ing area for the brigade in Czechoslovakia. 108. SCALEBOARD equipment at the Kaban- bay-Lake Karashek area in the Turkestan MD since June 1984 had departed SCALE- BOARD launches had been conducted in this area in support of ATBM tests at the Emba Missile Test Center. No significant SCALEBOARD activity was seen at Kapustin Yar during this reporting period. (S/W N) SS-23 Activity 109. No unusual activity associated with the SS-23 was detected during this reporting period. The introduction of the SS-23 into operational units has still not been observed.

Construction continued on the new ingredients preparation and mix building in the north-central part of Petrokrepost Explosive and Solid Motor Production Plant. The building was still in the midstage of construction and probably will not be completed until mid-1985. Tree clear- ing was observed along the northwest edge of the double-base propellant production area, and grading was started in two previously cleared areas in the composite propellant production area. This construction has not advanced to a stage where its function can be determined. This plant currently produces the motors for the SS-12 and SS-12 Mod 2 SRBM.t (TSR) Petropavlovsk 112. Plant expansion continued in the north- ern part of Petropavlovsk Vehicle Assembly Plant. This expansion has been under way since late 1979 and will probably be complete, at the earliest, by late 1985. This facility is believed to be responsible for the manufacture of components and subas- semblies of missiles, probably the SS-12 Mod 2, SS- 21, and SS-23. The plant also assembles ground support equipment based on the MAZ-543 chas- sis.t (TSR) 113. No major new construction or signifi- cant activity was observed at Petropavlovsk Missile Assembly Facility during this reporting period.

This section of the report addresses selected unidentified construction projects which are believed to have a potential mobile missile association. These projects will be closely moni- tored, with the significant changes reported in this section until identified, after which they will be included in the appropriate section of this report or in other NPIC reports. A list of acronyms and abbreviations can be found in the appendix. (S/W N) 115. The projects in this section remained in a relatively early stage of construction. Four areas of interest at Korosten, Zhitomir, and Kansk have characteristics suggesting a mobile IRBM associa- tion, while six others at Irkutsk, Kostroma, Kozelsk and Yedrovo may have a mobile ICBM association (Figure 26). One facility at Yurya, Mobile Base 6, initially thought to have a mobile missile associa- tion, was confirmed as a mobile missile base probably for the SS-X-25 and is now discussed in the ICBM section of this report. (S/WN~ Korosten MRBM Launch Site 2 116. 0 trees had been cleared in the former SS-4 launch area for two probable four-bay garages, four probable single-bay garages, and a perimeter security zone. A construction support camp was nearby. footings were present for a multiba garage and a possible security building. a security building and a regimental C3 facility, consisting of an 11-bay garage and a C3 building, were under construction. Construction of the single-bay and four-bay garages had not started. (S/WN) Zhitomir MRBM Launch Site 2 117. support facility had been cleared of trees. This type of clearing has been seen at other deactivated MRBM sites prior to SS-20 conversion, and usually a C3 facility is constructed in this area. (S/WN) Kansk 118. Two new areas of activity, possibly for SS-20 bases, were observed. The first area, identi- fied is approximately 9 nm south - 31 Top Secret RUFF of Kansk Mobile IRBM Base 3. It consisted of extensive tree clearing and grading with a con- struction support camp of temporary barracks and tents also being established. Several pieces of construction equipment were present, and a swath for a powerline was being extended toward the site. A second area of interest, consisting only of tree clearing and grading, was also identified approximately 10 nm south of the first. (S/WN) 25X1 25X1 Irkutsk 25X1 119. Construction continued at a slow pace. 25X1 a loop road had been graded within 25X1 the operations area. founda- 25X1 tions were present for four large rectangular buildings in the construction support camp. 25X1 construction of one of these buildings 25X1 had progressed to the midstage. This site remained in an early stage of construction with excavations for footings for one seven-bay garage and clear- ings for two other seven-bay garages in the operations area. (S/WN) 120. I lin the operations area, a loop road had been graded, two new linear areas had been cleared of trees, and stanchions had been placed in the footings of one of the seven- bay garages. Building materials and construction vehicles were near the three seven-bay garage foundations. The tree clearing around the peri- meter of the operations area for security fences, started in March, had been completed. In the support area, two large trenches had been dug and construction was continuing on several build- ings. stanchions and roof braces had been installed in one of the seven-bay garages. (S/WN) 121. The seven-bay garages being built at Construction Sites 1 and 2 appear identical to thos` seen at Yoshkar-Ola Mobile Missile Base and Yurya Mobile Missile Base 6. This type of garage has been identified only at mobile missile bases that are probably for the SS-X-25. 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP85T0006OR000300720001-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP85T0006OR000300720001-2 Top Secret RUFF termined when it was last observed Construction was continuing on apartment buildings, barracks, and administration buildings, although no missile-associated buildings have been identified. No rail lines were present, and no extensive security was observed. (S/WN) Kostroma SSM Complex 123. At Kostroma, where 40 SS-17s and 50 SS- 11s are deployed in silos, construction of the probable SS-X-24 missile receiving and checkout area continued. Construction of the probable SS- X-24 MRACA is concentrated in two general areas designated Area A and Area B. By August, a rail spur had been installed from the main rail line into Area A, and two large buildings and four small buildings were under construction. The large buildings were 48 by 25 meters and 88 by 19 meters. In Area B, footings for a large building measuring approximately 82 by 18 meters re- mained unchanged since April. (S/WN) 124. In the receiving area of the RTP, a probable rail transfer shed was under construction near the propellant handling facility. Two rows of six footings, measuring 32 by 10 meters, were observed adjacent to the oxidizer dispensing building. In addition, stays that could support canvas net material were being installed over approximately 500 meters of the rail line in the RTP. In the barracks area near the RTP, construc- tion on three barracks and a messhall was com- pleted. (S/WN) 125. When the missile receiving and check- out area and the probable rail transfer shed in the rail-to-road transfer point are completed, these facilities will probably be capable of supporting both the silo-based and rail-mobile deployment modes of the SS-X-24 ICBM. The SS-X-24 could be deployed in silos by 1985-1986 and in a more survivable rail-mobile mode by 1987-1988. As yet, no indications of a silo modification program or rail-mobile launch facilities have been identified at Kostroma. (S/WN) Kozelsk SSM Complex 126. At Kozelsk, where 60 SS-19 and 50 SS-11 ICBMs are deployed, the construction of the new component storage area in the NWHF has re- mained virtually unchanged since March 1983. The purpose of this construction remains undeter- mined; however, the apparent low priority as- signed by the Soviets to this project is not indicative of new system deployment. Only signifi- cant developments at Kozelsk will be included in subsequent reports. (S/WN) Yedrovo SSM Complex 127. At Yedrovo, where 110 SS-17 ICBMs are deployed, probable SS-X-24-related construction continued on two buildings in the RTP. The large rail-in, high-bay building under construction is a probable SS-X-24 receiving, inspection, and check- out building. The high-bay portion of the building is rail served and measures 60 by 12 meters. The adjoining low-bay portion, 60 by 6 meters, will probably house technical support equipment for inspection and checkout. Footings for a second building, measuring 32 by 11 meters, are adjacent to the RIC building. This construction is probably related to silo deployment of the SS-X-24. The limited scale of construction tends to rule out deployment of the rail-mobile version of the SS-X- 24, which apparently requires more extensive handling facilities such as those at Plesetsk and under construction at Kostroma. No indications of silo modification have been observed at Yedrovo.
