SEARCH FOR MILITARY INSTALLATION,
MURASTE, USSR
This report presents results of a search conducted within a 25 nautical
mile (nm) radius of Muraste, USSR (59-27N 24-26E) for a reported "military"
installation, possibly related to surface-to-air missile (SAM) installations
in the area (Figure 1). The activity is described as a fenced military
installation with a half circle type roof on a "construction" approximately
75 meters in length visible above the fence of the installation.
A search of photography covering the area revealed three suspect
installations, two of which have similar configurations and are possibly
agricultural or horticultural experimental stations. The third installation
is located adjacent to an SA-2 site but its functional relationship to the
site is undetermined.
Possible Agricultural/Horticultural Experimental Stations
Two possible agricultural/horticultural experimental stations with
similar features are observed in the search area. One is located 3 rim
south of the city of Tallinn at 59-22-40N 24-44-10E. The second is 12 nm
southwest of the city of Tallinn at 59-20-15N 24-23-40E (Figure 1).

This type of installation (Figure 3) occupies a large extent of land
area and is comprised of several rows of long low buildings varying in
size and ranging up to 435 feet long (132 meters). The roofs of these
buildings are possibly curved, and the building areas are enclosed by a
single security fence. Neither of the two installations is directly
connected by road to SA-2 sites in the area or the long range SAM complex.
A review of photography revealed the possible experimental station
south of Tallinn (59-22-40N 24-44-10E) was present on photography of=
I I and the installation southwest of Tallinn (59-20-15N
2 - - was present on photography of I (Mission
11 Although characteristics of this installation possibly fit the
description given for the unidentified activity, its presence predates SAM
deployment in the area.
The possible agricultural/horticultural experimental stations lack
the good internal access roads of a military installation, their security
is below normal standards, there is an absence of barrack blocks, there is
no evidence of vehicles or vehicle sheds and the buildings do not conform
to patterns and shapes seen previously in military installations.
The search revealed negative results for unidentified activity in the
remainder of the area.
Measurements
All measurements of the unidentified installation (Figure 2) were made
by the NPIC/Technical Intelligence Division and are considered to be accurate
whichever is greater, for buildings, and ? 5
feet for tower eig s.
