HIGHLIGHTS
MISSILE ACTIVITY
SIX ICBM COMPLEXES ARE OBSERVED ON THIS MISSION. SVOBODNYY,
YOSHKAR-OLA, VERKHNYAYA SALDA, AND ZHANGIZ-TORE ARE CLEAR, BUT
INTERPRETATION OF ALEYSK. AND TATISHCHEVO IS HAMPERED BY
SCATTERED-TO-HEAVY CLOUD COVER.
EIGHT ICBM SITES OF UNDETERMINED TYPE ARE NEWLY IDENTIFIED AT THE
YOSHKAR-OLA ICBM COMPLEX BRINGING TO 18 THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SINGLE
SILOS AT THIS COMPLEX. SITES 7 AND 22 MAY BE CONTROL SITES WHICH
WOULD INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF AT LEAST 2 LAUNCH GROUPS. NO PATTERN
IS AS YET DISCERNIBLE TO INDICATE THE NUMBER OF SILOS IN A GROUP.
THE CURRENT NUMBER OF ICBM LAUNCHERS AT THE DEPLOYED COMPLEXES
OHE FIGURES SHOWN IN PARENTHESES INDICATE THE NUMBER OF POSSIBLE
LAUNCHERS AND ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE TOTALSn IS AS FOLLOWS --
TYPE IIIC 193 85n
TYPE 1IIO 570
UNDETERMINED 18
SUBTOTAL 781 05n
OTHER 224
TOTAL 1885 054
AN 5A-2 SAM SITE IS NEWLY IDENTIFIED APPROXIMATELY 12.5 NM WSW OF
HAT-YEN: CHINA. THE SITE CONSISTS OF 6 UNREVETTED LAUNCH
POSITIONS AND AN UNREVETTED GUIDANCE AREA. ALL POSITIONS ARE
OCCUPIED. THIS BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SA-2 SAM SITES IN
CHINA TO 28 FIRM AND 1 PROBABLE.

56-42N 848-36E, AND SITE 25 IS AT 56-45N 048-45E.
AN UNUSUAL CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE IS OBSERVED AT LAUNCH
SITE '22. IT CONSISTS OF AN U-SHAPED EXCAVATION
iSIMILAR TO THAT SEEN AT TYPE IIIC SITESu WITH AN
UNIDENTIFIED STRUCTURE ON THE FLOOR OF THE EXCAVATION.
THE ORIENTATION OF THIS EXCAVATION DOES*NOT CONFORM TO
EXISTING STANDARDS CURRENTLY USED IN TYPE IIIC
CONSTRUCTION. FOURTEEN LARGE SUPPORT BUILDINGS ARE
NEAR THIS SITE. IT APPEARS THAT SITES 7 AND 22 MAY
DEVELOP INTO CONTROL FACILITIES WITHOUT AN ASSOCIATED
LAUNCH SILO, HOWEVER. LAUNCH SITE 23 IS ONLY 1.9 NM
FROM SITE 220 THE CLOSEST THAT ANY 2 SITES ARE TO EACH
i OTHER.
