REFERENCE POINT:
The Kremlin, 55?45'N - 37?37'E.
LOCATION:
44 nm southeast of reference point.
FUNCTION:
One of a group of sites deployed for the defense of Moscow.
SITE STATUS:
Probably complete and operational.
REMARKS:
This is the first known photographic coverage of Herringbone SAM
Site E-15.
Site is irregularly-shaped, and is located in a generally cleared
area on the outer herringbone defense ring.
Although the single small-format aerial photograph is of extremely
poor quality, visible service roads indicate that Site E-15 prob-
ably has 60 launch points. Poor quality of the photograph precludes
identification of a Yo-Yo radar or housing facility, both of which
are normally associated with this type of site.
