Because of the im- mediate need for additional intelligence regard- ing SA-2 support facilities, only a cursory inter- pretation has been accomplished, and the findings stated herein should he considered tentative. The SA-2 support facilities identified to date are believed to fall into two general types: rectangular and square. For the purpose of this report, they will be referred to as "hypes 1 and 11, respectively. Of the 128 facilities considered, 76 are classified as "Type I and 52 as Type II, as shown in "Table 1. while the T e 11 facility was not 25X1 D observed until the There have 25X1 D been no 'Type I facilities o serve under con- struction in the USSR since the first Type 11 deployment, while the latter has been observed under construction as recently as them 25X1 D It is, therefore, logical to assume 25X1 D that~the Type I has been phased out in favor of the Type II facility. TYPE I SUPPORT FACILITIES Type I facilities (Figures 2 and 3) are generally enclosed by a rectangular fence line and have a similar basic internal road network. The road network consists of two main inter- connecting roads, which in most cases are parallel to the long axis of the facility. The servicing of the missiles (assembly, checkout and fueling) probably is performed in the various structures situated on or along one of the main roads, while the component storage areas are served by the second road. The largest building in the facility (200 by 70 feet) is designated as the receiving/ maintenance building and has a drive-through capability. It is positioned on the service road with its long axis perpendicular to the road. A smaller drive-through building (55 by 30 feet) is located on the service road near the receiving/maintenance building. Located on a turnoff midway along the service road is an open shed 40 by 30 feet. 25X1 B 25X1 B hvne I was first observed deployed in The final structure on the service road is a drive-through building 60 by 25 feet which is designated as the assembly building. = The assembly operations observed included the attachment of the stabilizer fins to the missile and the Approved For Release 2001/11/05 : CIA-RDP78BO456OA000600010049-9 TOP SECRET CHESS RUFF 25X1C 25X6 25X6 25X6 Approved For Release 20,0 X11,11Q; ,E,, - 8B0456N 90 600010049-9 25X1 B 25X1 B 25X1 B 25X1 B of the reecii_nn;/naaint~nanee building.

'hhere are two additional features which are requisite to the 'hype 1 facility. the larger of these is a probable vehicle shed which is positioned along one of the interconnecting roads between the service and storage roads. This shed measures 60 by 30 feet at the Volgograd facility which is used as an illustration in this report. However, these dimensions are not as constant as those of Lite other build- ings in the facility. A small revetment, enclosing two or more cylindrical objects, has also been observed at the 'hype I facilities. this area is generally located near the main entrance and may be conventional I'01, storage. 11t all SA-2 SAM support facilities, both hype I and 'type 11, there are buildings lo- cated outside of the fence line which are as- sociated with the installation. Because of variation in the number and size of these build- ings, an estimate has not been made as to the number of personnel employed at the facilities. In many cases facilities are located near exist- ing military garrisons which could be used for housing and logistical support. TYPE II SUPPORT FACILITIES Type 11 facilities have been covered only by KIiYIIOLE photography; therefore, the in- terpretation is somewhat limited. 'Hie most obvious differences between the Type Iand'hype 11 facilities are the internal road network and the perimeter fence line which are square rather than rectangular (1,igures4and5). There does, however, appear to be a correlation be- Approved For Release 2001/11/05 : CIA-RDP78BO456OA000600010049-9 TOP SECRET CHESS RUFF 25x1C Approved For Release 2001/11/05 : CIA-RDP78BO456OA000600010049-9 2'5X1 C Satka Kusa ZI a roust SA-2 Si ,-2 Type I SAP,' Support Facility Road Railroad, (Jou'ie Tra k Railroad, Single Track 20 NAUT;CAL MILES K \'shrnm A Kotxiio Approved For Release 2001/11/05 : CIAJRDP78B04560A,000600010049-8 TOP SECRET CHESS RUFF Approved For Release 2001Y1?fM1$5t~04596, 660600010049-9 N PIC/R - 132/63 25X1 B 25X1 B tween many of the structures observed at both types. The most prominent feature of the "hype II facilities is a straight road on which are located the receiving/maintenance building and the probable assembly building. The receiving/ maintenance building (190 by 65 feet) is again the largest structure within the facilities, and dimensionally it is similar to its counter- part in the "hype 1. At some of the square support facilities, however, this building is not used as a drive-through building. The probable assembly building is located at the opposite end of the main road within the facility; and although it is smaller (45 by 25 feet) than the assembly building of the Type I facility, its relationship to the receiving/ maintenance is the same. The small drive-through checkout building (50 by 25 feet) located near the receiving/ maintenance building in the "hype I facility has been identified at some of the type 11 facilities but is absent at others. In addition, the open shed located at the midpoint of the service road of the 't'ype I facility has not been seen in a corresponding position within the 'hype 11. l here is no apparent conformity in the arrangement of the other internal roads in relation to the main road. the component T ?
