No 3. Information on the remainder of the
Sary Ozek Complex is given in the referenced
report. Launch Area No 3 is a complete hype
IV launch area located 7.5 nautical miles (nm)
northwest of Kara Babau (Figure 1).
This launch area was first observed in
in an early stage of
construction consisting only of a large excava-
tion. Subsequent photography of
depicts the hard site in a midstage of construc-
tion with completed control building and with
three silos under construction. A road located
just south of the excavation containing the site
components had a row of four gable -roofed build -
ings along its south side.
25X1 D Coverage of
revealed the hard launch area as complete (Fig-
ure 2). The control bunker was mounded and cir-
cumvented by a road serving each of three silos.
photography the left forward and
rear silo covers are in the open position and
three probable vehicles are observed within the
launch site. The launch site is double fenced.
The associated site support facility is lo-
cated 1,000 feet to the east. It is secured and
contains 16 buildings. Six appear to be barracks-
type buildings, four are large administrative-
type buildings, one is possibly a boiler plant,
one is a small building enclosed by a horseshoe-
shaped revetment and four are small miscel-
laneous buildings. No vehicles or activity are
discernible within the secured facility.
The nearest rail facilities are located
13.7 nm northeast of the launch area at Azna-
bulok; however, the better road leading from
the launch area connects with the city of
Sary Ozek, 14.0 nm to the southeast. A rail-
to-road transfer point, typical of those seen
near other IRBM launch areas, is located in
the northwest portion of the city. In the immed-
iate area of the turnaround loop road pattern
are two circular closed tanks, a stepdown build-
ing, and a large arch-roofed building.
