This report supplements NPIC/R-107/64,
1/ which discusses the Zhmerinka MRBMCom-
plex, consisting of two Type II and one Type IV
MRBM launch areas, together with a rail-to-
road transfer point.
The Zhmerinka Fixed Field Site (Figure 1)
is located in a flat wooded area approximately
6 nautical miles (nm) west of Vinnitsa in the
Ukrainian SSR. The earliest photographic
coverage of
the area was in
but the unusual configuration of the
site, combined with poor-quality photography,
precluded its confirmation or negation prior to
The site appar-
ently was in a complete status when first ob-
served, and appeared relatively unchanged and
inactive on subsequent 0 missions.

No 1 is located 5.8 nm southwest of the field
site, and Launch Area No 2 is situated 9.3 nm
to the west-southwest of the field site. Launch
Area No 3 is located 4.5 nm to the north-
northeast of the field site. Launch Areas
No 1 and 2 are oriented on azimuths of 200

The field site probably utilizes a rail siding
located 10.5 nm to the southwest. This rail
siding probably services a SAM support facility
as well as the Zhmerinka MRBM Complex. Im-
proved roads connect it with the field site and
two of the launch areas.
The fixed field site (Figure 2) consists of
one irregularly shaped launch clearing and one
poorly defined probable launch clearing arranged
parallel on a loop road. An access road enters
the site from the east and connects with the
internal loop road. The azimuths of the launch
clearing and the probable launch clearing are
approximately 200 degrees and separation is
approximately 600 feet. No equipment or sup-
porting facilities are evident at the field site.
