Two large, generally circular areas have
been observed on KEYHOLE photography of
just outside the circular road along
the southern boundary of Pinsk MRBM Complex
SA-2 SAM Site A-25. These areas are approxi-
mately 200 feet in diameter and 560 feet apart
center to center. Construction activity appears
to be underway; however, detailed interpretation
is limited by the whiteness of image tone. Initial
construction activity at the eastern area was ob-
served on KEYHOLE photography from Mission
Pinsk MRBM Complex SA-2 SAM Site A-25
is located 4 nm SW of Pinsk MRBM Complex.
The site, which has a modified "link" configura-
tion, was complete when identified on KEYHOLE
NPIC/R-197/63

photography from Mission
The site consists of 6 drive-through launch
revetments, a centrally located guidance area,
3 drive-through missile-hold revetments (one of
which is located between the two circular areas),
and a support area located just east of the launch
area containing one building approximately 160
by 55 feet, 4 barracks-type buildings approxi-
mately 75 by 35 feet, and several smaller, asso-
ciated structures. No apparent change has oc-
curred in the support area since it was first
observed.
KEYHOLE photography from Mission _ 25X1 D
covered this site. No significant25X1 D
change was discernible.
