REEXAMINATION OF SAM SITES
ASSOCIATED WITH SOVIET ICBM LAUNCH COMPLEXES
This report is in reply to a request for a reexamination of the surface-
to-air missile (SAM) launch sites associated with known Soviet ICBM
launch complexes and a search for possible indications of a new defensive
missile system.
An intensive study of all SAM sites within a radius of 75 nautical miles
(nm) of the six Soviet ICBM launch complexes -- Itatka, Kostroma,
Shadrinsk, Verkhnyaya Salda, Yoshkar-Ola, and Yur'ya -- was conducted
on all available KEYHOLE photography.
The results of the study are: the SAM sites remain as previously
identified; no new sites are in evidence; no unusual activity that could
possibly be associated with any new defensive missile system was observed;
and nothing unusual was noted at the known deployed SAM sites defending
the ICBM launch complexes.
