The site is approximately 3,500 feet square and is rail served. The storage area contains 20 storage build- ings, 15 of which evidence some form of blast protection. Four types of storage buildings are discernible at the site; these have been designated types A, B, C, and D (Figures 2 and 3). Type A. Two revetted, gable-roofed build- ings are 165 by 50 feet and have five evenly spaced ventilators along the peak of the roof. The total roof coverage for these two buildings is 16,500 square feet. Type B. Two semiburied buildings have drive-in entrances at one end. One building is served by a loop road, and the other is located near the terminus of a rail spur. Ample turning space for motor vehicles is available in front of each building. One of these buildings is protected on two sides by a blast wall. The total roof coverage of these two buildings is 30,400 square feet. Type C. Fourteen buildings are 95 by 50 feet. Eleven of these are revetted.

The total roof coverage of these buildings is 66,500 square feet. Type D. One gable-roofed building is 115 by 65 feet and has two small structures on the roof which could house ventilation or environ- TCS-7832/64 NPIC/R-813/64 mental control devices. This building has no blast protection, but it is separately secured by a fence and a checkpoint. A concrete pad, 100 feet square, is in front of this building, and a probable hoist is near the surfaced driveway to the building. The total roof coverage of this building is 7,475 square feet. There is a wall along the south side of the site and a double fence along the east and west sides. Part of the fence alignment along the north side is indistinct. An administration and housing area is lo- cated on the south side of the site and consists of several buildings for administration and/or housing, a heating plant, and two vehicle sheds. Approximately 80 vehicles are parked at this installation; however, the absence of track activity around them suggests that most of these are in storage. Two probable transporters for small missiles are near the end of the rail spur in front of one of the semiburied, drive-in buildings. None of the storage buildings is directly rail served. All materials must be transport- ed either entirely by road or transferred from the rail line to the storage buildings by road. Fifty-three large vans which were observed near the Uzhgorod Airfield could be used to transport materials to the storage area. A military training area is located 2 nm north of the storage area; however, the only direct connection between these two installations is a substandard road. The lack of good road service between the training area and the storage site lessens the possibility of any significant affiliation. An MRBM site is located 5 nm southwest of Uzhgorod.
