A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF ON-SITE SUPPORT
FACILITIES AT SA-3 SAM SITES IN THE USSR
GENERAL
25X1 D As of fifty SA-3 SAM launch
sites have been identified in the USSR. Thirty-
four of these sites are collocated with SA-i
or SA-2 SAM launch sites. The remaining
16 are deployed singly in strategically sig-
nificant military areas that are heavily de-
fended by SA-2 SAM sites.
For this report, 10 collocated sites and
6 singly deployed sites have been studied for
analysis of on-site support facilities. Not all
launch sites have on-site support facilities, and
even for those which have them, the small
scale of KEYHOLE photography prevents identi-
fication of any building or group of buildings
in the support facilities by their function.
Six SA-3 sites are collocated with SA-1
SAM sites in the northwest quadrant of the
Moscow outer SAM defense ring (Figure 1).
Four of these sites are resent on KEY-
HOLE missions Table 25X1 D
1), but no comparative photography was available
for the other two sites. None of the sites
has any discernible on-site support activities;
however, all have access roads to support
facilities at the associated SA-1 sites and to
central support and storage areas. No sig-
nificant changes or expansion of on-site support
facilities at the SA-1 sites are discernible since
the SA-3 sites were added.

or changes were observed in the SA-2 sup-
port facilities after the SA-3 sites were added.
All of the Leningrad SA-3 sites, including five
singly deployed sites, have access roads to
the Leningrad SAM ring road along which there
are military and central support installations.

Sixti en SA-3 sites are singly deployed in
strategic defense areas of the Soviet Union.
Of this number, six have discernible on-site
support ~tcilities ('fable 3).
'the Leningrad C-OIA site has five build-
ings, the largest of which is a possible drive-
through building located in the missile-hold
area (Fi ,ure 3). This Leningrad site is the
only on, that has a double security fence.
Outside : ire fence there is a plus-shaped build-
ing whoi- relation to the site is not known.
Pruzliany SAM Site 13-16 is unique in that
it has ci-site support facilities and is also
adjacent to a SAM support facility which prob-
ably ser-.es more than this one site (Figure 4).
At ( lenya SA-3 Site B-02A there are at
least five large buildings (Figure 5).
"hhe tJssuriysk SA-3 site has two rather
small buildings to the rear of the launch site
(Figures h and 7), as have the Leningrad D-32
and Lyali -hi. launch situ.

At this time, only the following conclusions
have been made about on-site support facilities
at SA-3 launch sites:
1. On-site support facilities were provided
at SA-1 and SA-2 SAM launch sites. SA-3
SAM launch sites collocated with SA-1 and
SA-2 sites are probably utilizing these buildings
inasmuch as no apparent changes or expansion
of existing facilities are discernible.
2. Six singly deployed SA-3 sites have from
two to five on-site support buildings but the
scale and quality of photography precludes
identifying the functions of these buildings.
3. The remaining 10, also in areas of SA-2
concentration, have no on-site support facilities.
Access roads serving these launch sites con-
nect with central support and housing facilities
in the area
