Two large revetted circular areas have been
observed on KEYHOLE photography of
(referenced above) just NE of Pinsk MRBM Com-
25X1 D plex SA-2 SAM Site B-11. The areas were not
present on - photography but appeared
on photography from Mission
The areas are approximately 200 feet in
diameter, 435 feet apart center to center, and
approximately 1,000 and 1,150 feet from the
center of the SAM site. A probable earthen
wall approximately 15 feet thick is visible
along portions of the edge of each area. There
is no evidence to date of a road system serv-
ing the areas. Further interpretation of them
is not possible from presently available KEY-
HOLE photography. A clearing of undeter-
mined significance is just SE of the areas
and has been expanded approximately 30 per-

cent since-
Pinsk MRBM Complex SA-2 SAM Site B-11
is located 13 nm ESE of Pinsk MRBM Complex
and adjacent to Pinsk Army Barracks -
_ This site, which has a modified"link"
configuration, was complete when identified on
KEYHOLE photography from Mission -
Facilities visible at the site include 6 drive-
through launch revetments, a centrally located
guidance area, and 3 probable drive-through
missile-hold revetments. The Pinsk Army
Barracks area probably provides support facili-
ties for the site.
No significant changes in the SAM site, the
circular areas, or the probable support facilities
have been observed on KEYHOLE photography
from Mission
