An ICBM launch complex containing two
hardened launch areas is under construction in a
wooded area about 10 nautical miles (nm) north-
east of Omsk (Figure 1). The first evidence of

The complex is served by a rail spur off
the rail line that serves the city of Omsk.
This rail spur terminates at the transfer
point. A good road from Omsk also serves the
complex and as o terminated at
Launch Area B.
Air support for the complex could be pro-
vided by Omsk East Airfield, which has a 9,000-
foot paved runway. Two additional airfields
are located near Omsk. No SAM defenses
have been identified specifically for the Omsk
ICBM complex, although five SA-2 sites have
been deployed in defense of Omsk.

The Complex Support Facility, located ap-
proximately 6 nm northeast of Omsk, measures
approximately 8,000 by 3,000 feet and consists
of two housing areas and a railhead (Figure
2). The western housing area, which appears
to be secured, measures 1,900 by 1,400 feet
and contains 44 barracks and administration-
type buildings arranged in two distinct groups.
The building count and approximate measure-
ments are as follows: 17 buildings 200 by
50 feet, 1 building 250 by 125 feet, 6 buildings
250 by 50 feet, 12 buildings 125 by 50 feet,
2 buildings 100 by 50 feet, 2 buildings 80
by 40 feet, 2 buildings 80 feet square, and 2
T-shaped buildings 200 by 200 overall and 50
feet wide. All of these structures were in
joins the main road to the launch sites ap-
proximately 6,500 feet southwest of the en-
trance to the railhead area.
The second housing area measures ap-
proximately 800 by 500 feet and is centrally
located in the Complex Support Facility. This
area is not secured and is directly connected
by road to the railhead. There are 11 bar-
racks-type buildings in this area which measure
as follows : 1 building 220 by 50 feet, 6 buildings
200 by 50 feet, 1 building 250 by 50 feet, 2
buildings 160 by 50 feet, and 1 building 50
feet square. Two of these buildings have been
constructed since
The railhead encompasses an area approxi-
mately 4,000 by 2,500 feet and consists of three
rail spurs, a possible motor pool, and an
unidentified area (Figure 2). The rail spurs
branch off the main spur to the transfer point
and from south to north measure about 3,400,

4,200, and 3,800 feet in length. The southern
spur, which has a siding along most of its
length, is located approximately 550 feet north
of and parallel to the main spur, and its two
tracks are approximately 75 feet apart. From
south to north, the spurs are 400 and 350
feet apart. The area between the main spur
line and the first and second spurs of the
railhead appears to be used for open storage.
There is some ground scarring in these areas
and also to the northwest of the center of the
railhead area which may possibly indicate ad- 25X1 D
ditional construction. The area does not appear
to be secured and no new structures have been
added since Within the rail-
head area are approximately 25 buildings of
various sizes and a concrete batching plant. The
larger buildings, all of which are rail served,

measure as follows: 1 building 300 by 80 feet,
5 buildings 250 by 120 feet, and 2 buildings
250 by 60 feet. There are no rail-through
buildings.
A small unidentified area containing several
unidentified objects and measuring 300 by 200
feet lies approximately 1,000 feet southeast of
the central housing area and 2,500 feet from
the center of the railhead. No pipelines or
power traces are evident, but the installation
may possibly be a transformer yard. A pos-
sible motor pool measuring approximately 400
by 500 feet is located at the northeast end of
the facility.

The Rail-to-Road Transfer Point, which is
under construction, consists of an extension
of the main railroad spur into a wooded area
located approximately 3 nm northeast of the
Complex Support Facility. The main rail spur
parallels the road to the launch areas to a
point about 3,500 feet from its terminus. At
this point the spur turns away from the road
then resumes running parallel to the road ap-
proximately 400 feet to the north (Figure 1).
RAIL-TO-ROAD TRANSFER POINT
There are no buildings
or other facilities within the transfer point.
To the southeast of the transfer point,
at the end of a road measuring approximately
4,000 feet in length, is a small unidentified
area in open terrain (Figure 1). The area
contains one building measuring approximately
40 feet square and a possible revetted structure
measuring 125 by 50 feet.

section contains the following buildings: 6
measuring 220 by 60 feet; 10, 150 by 50 feet; 2,
100 by 50 feet; one, 200 by 60 feet; and one, 50
feet square. Also evident is an inclined conveyer
240 by 40 feet. About 1,700 feet northwest of the
section and about 300 feet from the access road
to Launch Area B is an unidentified structure
measuring approximately 200 by 150 feet.
The east support section is located approxi-
mately 1,500 feet south of the launch site and
approximately 4,000 feet east of the construction
support section. The section contains ten build-
ings, as follows: 5 measuring 200 by 50 feet;
one, 200 by 120 feet; one, 160 by 100 feet; one,
100 by 60 feet; one, 150 by 50 feet; and one, 80
feet square. Two long, narrow unidentified ob-
jects about 100 feet long, possibly fuel-storage
tanks, lie between this support section and the
launch site. South of the buildings is some
ditching.
The west support section is approximately
7,000 feet by road and 4,500 feet in a direct line
from the launch site and approximately 1,000
feet south of the construction support section. It 25X1 D

Launch Area A is located in a wooded area

Support Facility and 6 nm from the Transfer
Point. It is served by a road which branches
northwest from the complex main road to provide
access to both launch areas. The main road

Launch Area A consists of a hardened launch
site under construction and a site support facility

section, an east section and a west section

are served by good roads.

suggestive of a final pattern similar to that at
Tyura Tam Launch Complex F than that at com-
pleted Type III sites.
Considerable other construction activity
within the excavation is evident, but its nature
cannot be ascertained. Also, the identity,
location, and dimensions of any equipment in
the excavation cannot be determined because of
the small scale of photography.
A large spoil pile lies south of the control-
bunker excavation. The spoil will probably be
25X1 D
used to cover the bunker. On the opposite side
of the excavation and approximately 400 feet from
the bunker is a probable spray pond 200 by 150
feet. North of the launch site, outside the fence,
is a ditch aligned east-west, possibly for
drainage.

in the early stage of construction and had no well-
defined limits (Figure 4).
The launch site, which is under construction,
contains an irregular, shallow excavation meas-
uring approximately 400 by 100 feet. Its depth
cannot be determined. No notch is evident at this
stage of construction. Approximately 2,000 feet
southwest of the excavation are two barracks-
type buildings measuring 250 by 80 feet. One
other building measuring 250 by 50 feet lies
approximately 2,000 feet south of these buildings.
