ICBM LAUNCH COMPLEX, PERM', USSR
An ICBM launch complex under construction has been newly identified
. ,
--
r --'-7
located in a generally wooded area approximately 18 nautical miles (nm)
south of Perm, consists of two road-served launch areas, a complex
support facility, and arail-to-road transfer point (Figure 1). The complex
is served by a spur branching from the Perm' -Kungur rail line. Scarring
for construction of the complex support facility and for Launch Area A
was visible and the rail spur branching into
the facility rom t ePerm'-Kungur rail line also was evident at that tune
Launch Area A (57-41N 56-13E)
(Figure 2). Both pads are elongated (approximately
and unidentified objects are situated on both pads. Pad separation
is approximately 980 feet and the long axis of the pad is oriented along an
azimuth of 315 degrees. Three buildings are located in the launch area,
in addition to a large missile-ready building (approximately 220 by 125 feet)
located behind the westernmost ad. A clearin located behind th rn_
most pad No
fencing is evi ent around the launch area. The launch support area, located
southeast of the launch area, contains two groups of buildings with a total
of 32 structures. One group contains 8 buildings, each 130 by 40 feet. The
other group contains 24 smaller buildings some of which are still under
construction.
Launch Area B (57-42N 55-57E is loca imately 8 nm west of
Launch Area A (Figure 3). Only the
road pattern an two small buildings are visible in the launch area. Pad
separation will be approximately 1, 000 feet, and pad orientation will be
about 315 degrees. Clearings for missile-ready buildings are evident. A

probable fence is evident along the northeast side of the launch area. The
launch support area is located southwest of the launch area and consists of
two groups of buildings with a total of 32 structures. i~ne group contains 5
buildings, each 130 by 40 feet, and the other contains 2 7 smaller buildings
some of which are still under construction.
The Complex Support Facility (57-42N 56-19E), located approximately
2.5 nm northeast of Launch Area A, is served by three rail sidings off the
spur from the Perm'-Kungur rail line (Figure 4). These sidings, which are
3, 700, 3,100, and 2, 500 feet long, are spaced approximately 4$0 feet apart
and are served at their terminal points by a road that is perpendicular to the
complex main road. The rail spur extends to the rail-to-road transfer
;point, which is 4, 500 feet west of the road connecting the terminal points of
the three sidings. The area between the rail sidings is heavily scarred, but
only a few small buildings are apparent. A barracks and support area
consisting of 43 buildings is located north of the rail sidings. Ten of these
buildings are 200 by 70 feet. A road extends approximately one nm north
:from the support facility to an administrative and housing area, which
contains approximately 60 buildings of various sizes.
The transfer point (57-42N 56-17E) is located adjacent to the terminal
point of the rail spur and is formed by a loop road. ThE~ loop road is 950 by
350 feet and is connected to the complex main road by wide-radius turns.
Some parts of the complex main road appear to bc: under construction
between the two launch areas. There appears to be a power trace ge~lerally
paralleling the complex main road between tl~e Complex Support Facility
and Launch Area B. As of the date of this report, no :iAM sites have been
identified in the area.
