This report is in partial response to CIA requirement C-DI6-83, 665,
which requests a basic report completely updating the latest comprehensive
report (PIC/JR-1008/61, March 1961) 1/ of the facilities at the Kapustin Yar
SAM Test Range, USSR. This requirement requests detailed photo analysis
of the following areas:
a. SAM Launch Complex;
b. SAM Launch Complex Support Areas;
c. SAM Instrumentation Sites;
d. Electronics Test Facility (formerly designated Electronics
Research and Development Area);
e. Kapustin Yar Airfield;
f. SAM Base Support Complex.
This report satisfies part (b) above and is the second in a series of
4 reports designed to fulfill the requirement. The first report in the series
answered part (a). 2/ Two forthcoming reports will cover the remainder of the
SAM rangehead facilities.
Photography used in the preparation of this report includes
Mission num-
bers and related photographic data may be obtained from the references at
the end of the report; therefore dates alone are referenced in textual chronol-
ogies.
All measurements utilized in this report have been computed by the NPIC
Technical Intelligence Division. Horizontal dimensions are accurate within
?5 feet or ?5 percent, whichever is greater; vertical dimensions are approx-
imations due to difficulty in precisely locating shadow end points.

INTRODUCTION
0600010039-2
The Kapustin Yar Surface-to-Air Missile Test Range is part of the Ka-
pustin Yar/Vladirnirovka Missile Test Center (KY/Vlad MTC), USSR (Figure
1). It is approximately 50 nautical miles (nm) east of Volgograd (Stalingrad),
on the eastern side of the Volga River. The SAM Rangehead, located north of
Kapustin Yar and generally west of the Surface-to-Surface Missile Rangehead,
consists of a SAM launch complex, 3 SAM training sites, a SAM housing and
support area, a SAM warhead area, a SAM checkout and storage area, a tropo-
scatter and microwave communications facility, an electronics test facility,
an airfield, a SAM marshalling area, a SAM base support and housing area,
11 instrumentation sites, and an operational SA-2 site.
This report covers the SAM housing and support area, the SAM warhead
area, and the SAM checkout and storage area. The nonrectified line drawings
and measurements presented in this report are based on photography of
A number of changes have occurred at the SAM Rangehead since the
latest comprehensive report, which was based primarily on photog-
raphy accomplished in Among the most
significant changes within the SAM launch complex support areas are the in-
crease in the number of buildings at the housing and support area and the ad-
dition of 4 revetments and a large drive-through building (whose foundation
could be observed under construction in1959)at the checkout and storage area.
This report contains a description of the facilities and activity, in chron-
ological sequence, and includes nonrectified line drawings, photographs, and
photogram metric data on components of the SAM launch complex support areas.
Annotated photos and nonrectified line drawings are shown for each of
the support areas. The tables in this report are used as a supplement to the
line drawings with regard to construction chronologies.

SAM HOUSING AND SUPPORT AREA
The entrance to the SAM Housing and Support Area
(Figures 2, 3, and 4) is located approximately 1.94 nm by
road south of the SAM launch complex and adjacent to the
eastern side of the SAM launch complex main service road
at approximately 48-46N 45-44E. The area is comprised of
2 separately fenced sections, A and B, and a probable pump-
ing station on the western side of the main service road op-
posite Section A. Several changes have been made in the
alinement of the fenceline along the southern portion of
Section A since 1959. 1/
Section A. The larger of the 2 sections, Section A, cov-
ers a fenced area of approximately 127 acres. Within the
fenced area are 17 multistory barracks-type buildings with a
total estimated floorspace of approximately
feet. Although the 17 multistory buildings are considered to
be living quarters, it is highly probable that some of them
serve as classrooms. One multistory building and 7 single-
story buildings located within the proximity of the 17 multi-
story buildings may serve as living quarters, hut they proba-
bly serve as classrooms and/or support buildings for the
SAM I lousing and Support Area. These 8 buildings constitute
a total estimated floorspace of approximately
feet. The remainder of the area includes 2 motor pools with
3 large vehicle maintenance buildings (items 48b, 49, and 85,
Figure 4), several recreation areas, a heating complex, and
numerous support buildings. The small heating plant (item
53), which probably utilized coal as fuel, was probably re-
placed in 1964. The tater heating plant (item 54) probably
utilizes oil as fuel, due to the presence of a nearby tank (item
57), constructed in 1964, and to the absence of a coal stock-
pile in the area.
Equipment observed within Section A ol I Icon-
sists of 2 cranes (probably truck mounted), 55 trucks, 30 un-
identified vehicles, 7 possible trailer cabs, 7 possible trail-
ers, and 21 unidentified vehicles /pieces of equipment. The
majority of the vehicles and equipment are located in the mo-
tor pools, with the remainder positioned along the eastern
fenceline.
Section B. Section B, located immediately south of Sec-
tion A, covers an irregularly shaped fenced area of approxi-
mately 16 acres. It contains 6 storage-type buildings, an
earth-mounded bunker, a possible administration building,

small buildings and structures. One of the structures (item
12) appeared to be a water tower MI I 1/ Al-
though it does not appear to be a vertical water tower in=1
=I it may serve as a liquid storage structure, since a
possible buried pipeline appears to terminate at the struc-
ture. Earth scarring, where the possible buried pipeline is
located, was first observed in Two narrow gable-
roofed buildings formerly located on 2 of the revetted paved
aprons (items 14 and 15) are no longer present. 1/ No other
changes have occurred within the secured portion of the area

A short distance outside the entrance to the secured2
area, on the northern side of the access road, are a buried
tank (item 6), an unidentified structure and a probable heat-
ing plant secured by a single fence (items 4 and 5), and a
possible building foundation under construction (item 3). The
latter was newly observed on photography ofI

SAM CHECKOUT AND
STORAGE AREA
25X1
The SA M Checkout and Storage Area (Figures 2,7, and 8)
is located on the eastern side of the SAM launch complex
main service road approximately 2.23 nm by road south of the
SAM housing and support area at approximately 48-44N
45-44E. The area, present hi Ibut not clear-
ly observed until! idue to photography of poor
interpretability and small scale, is served by an all-weather
paved access road connecting it with the SAM launch complex
main service road. The area is triple fenced and has a se-
curity building at the entrance. Within the secured area are
10 revetted storage buildings, a revetted dome or spherical
tank adjacent to a small building (items 21 and 22, Figure 8),
a ridge-roofed drive-through building (Figure 8, item 19,
and Figure 8A), a flat-roofed drive-through building (Figure
8, item 13, and Figure 8B), a revetted paved storage apron
(item 1, Figure 8), a small revetment (item 7), a small paved
hardstand (item 10), 3 miscellaneous buildings, and several
unidentified structures. A number of the components in the
area have appeared since

yearly chronological sequence of components added since
1959, and Table 2 gives the time frame of each component
with regard to negation, first observed, and probable comple -
tion dates.
In the initial construction stage of the
later identified drive-through building (item 13) was ob-
served. Byl 'the paved road pattern serving this
building was discernible. The building, not clearly identi-
fied until I I was probably completed sometime
between A probable storage
building (item 23), observed in a late stage of construction in
was probably completed shortly after this
date, but this could not be confirmed on photography until
Also, the building had been revetted by fJ
Outside the secured area, along the southern side of the
access road, is a cylindrical tank (item 25), a small heating
plant (item 26), and a hip-roofed building (item 27) which
probably serves as an administration and/or quarters build-
ing. A small water tower, present in 1959, was removed in
2?1))((1,iil
On the northern side of the access road is 25x 1
fenced open storage area (item 28).
Near the junction of the access road with the main ser-
vice road is a fenced area containing a small unidentifie25X
structure (item 29), a probable purnphouse (item 30), 2 prob-
able earth-mounded tanks (items 31 and 33), and a small
ridge-roofed building (item 32) near one of the probable
earth-mounded tanks. A probable buried pipeline extends
from this area toward the secured checkout and storage area.
