RELEASABLE FROM SSO CHANNELS. SSO PASS
TO APPROPRIATE TCOS. CITE CIA-P-018. THE FOLLOWING IS FROM
THE CIA/PHOTOGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE DIVISION:
POSITIONS FOR SUSPECT ELECTRONICS, FORMING A PENTAGON SHAPED
PATTERN SIMILAR TO THAT FOUND AT THE TALLINN AMM/SAM LAUNCH COMPLEX
AND THE LENINGRAD NORTHWEST (034) PROBABLE AMM LAUNCH COMPLEX,
ARE POSSIBLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE LENINGRAD NORTHEAST (B05)
PROBABLE AMM LAUNCH COMPLEX. THE POSITIONS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
ARE LOCATED IN THE AREA OF THE ORIGINAL, UNFINISHED, ELECTRONICS
FACILITY. THE CENTER OF THE PENTAGON SHAPED PATTERN IS AN L
SHAPED STRUCTURE LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 700 FEET WSW OF THE LARGE,
RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED 300 BY 370 FOOT EARTHEN MOUND. THE FIVE
POSSIBLE POSITIONS FORM A PENTAGON PATTERN AROUND THE L SHAPED
STRUCTURE, WITH THE NORTHERN MOST POSITION BEING A ROAD SERVED,
FAN SHAPED 70 BY 130 FOOT RAISED EARTH MOUND. THE OTHER FOUR

POSITIONS, COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, ARE:`;` (I) THE TOP OF THE EARTH
COVERED ORIGINAL ELECTRONICS CONTROL BUILDING, (2) A 40 BY 80
FOOT RECTANGULAR MOUND OR STRUCTURE SOUTH OF THE LARGE EARTHEN
MOUND, (3) A 40 BY 40 FOOT POSSIBLE STRUCTURE IN THE AREA OF
EXCAVATION, NEAR THE ACCESS ROAD, AND (4) THE TOP OF THE EARTHEN
MOUND ITSELF. ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE AND MUST BE
VERIFIED BY MORE DETAILED PHOTOGRAMMETRIC ANALYSIS, HOWEVER,
THE DIMENSIONS BETWEEN VARIOUS POSSIBLE POSITIONS CORRELATE WELL
WITH CORRESPONDING DIMENSIONS AT TALLINN AND LENINGRAD NORTHWEST.
THE LOCATION OF THIS ACTIVITY WITH REFERENCE TO THE POSITION
OF THE LAUNCH SITES AND THE GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION OF THE NORTHEAST
LENINGRAD COMPLEX CREATES A PIE SHAPED SECTOR WHICH FALLS JUST
EAST OF AN EQUIVALENT SECTOR (POSSIBLE SECTOR OF EFFECTIVENESS)
AT THE LENINGRAD NORTHWEST COMPLEX. THIS PIE SHAPED SECTOR AT
TALLINN IS FORMED BY DRAWING LINES FROM THE CENTER OF THE PENTAGON
PATTERN TO THE LAUNCH POSITION ON THE EXTREME LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE
OF THE COMPLEX AND THEN EXTENDING THE LINES FOR ANY DESIRED DISTANCE
REPRESENTING THE RANGE OF THE WEAPON. AT THE LENINGRAD PROBABLE
AMM COMPLEXES THE SECTORS ARE FORMED BY DRAWING LINES FROM THE
CENTER OF THE PENTAGON ACTIVITY, TANGENT TO THE EXTREME LEFT SIDE
OF LAUNCH SITE E AND RIGHT SIDE OF LAUNCH SITE A AT THE NORTH-
EAST COMPLEX, AND TANGENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF LAUNCH SITE B AND
THE RIGHT SIDE OF LAUNCH SITE E AT THE NORTHWEST COMPLEX.
