ABSTRACT
The eight missile support facilities--Balta, Berdichev, Bobrovskiy, Glazov, Novaya
Mezinovka, Surovatikha, Tambov, and Toropets--have remained basically unchanged in
layout since although there has been some increase in the housing facilities since
that time. No significant change has been observed in the amount of missile support
equipment at each facility, but an increased level of building construction is evident.
The recent observation of missiles and missile components at several of the facilities
indicates that these facilities provide storage and possible assembly of missiles in addition
to maintenance and storage of missile-associated equipment. Analysis of equipment
present at these facilities reveals that four of them support MRBM and IRBM systems
and three support ICBM as well as MRBM and IRBM systems; the type of system served
by the remaining facility has not been determined. A complex rail system for the handling
of materials and equipment is observed at each of the facilities.
This report consolidates and updates information on the eight missile support facilities.
It includes a description and an annotated photograph of each facility and a table of
data on the structures in each facility. Information in the report is current through
photography of
INTRODUCTION
The eight missile support facilities are all in the European USSR: four are to the
west of Moscow, in or near the belt of MRBM and IRBM sites in the western USSR,
and four are east and southeast of Moscow (Figure 1).
Each installation is situated on or adjacent to a major rail line and each is served
by good roads. All of the facilities are located in forested areas, and trees left standing
in each facility provide some concealment at ground level. There are SAM sites in the
vicinity of each of the facilities. As many as five SAM sites are near the Surovatikha
facility, and at least 26 SAM sites are within 25 nautical miles (nm) of the eight facilities.

BASIC DESCRIPTION
Two of the eight missile support facilities, Bobrovskiy and Novaya Mezinovka, were
??E1 first observed in on overhead reconnaissance photography. By I 'the other
six facilities were observed, and all eight facilities appeared to be functionally complete
2?Xi by I I A number of new buildings have been constructed at the facilities since
and some buildings are still under construction. At the Tambov facility, new rail lines
25X1 have been added since
Function
Seven of the eight missile support facilities serve MRBM and IRBM systems, and of
these three also serve ICBM systems. The type of system served by the remaining facility
has not been determined. The presence of MRBM and IRBM equipment has been con-
firmed at the Balta, Berdichev, Novaya Mezinovka, and Tambov facilities. At the Bobrov-
skiy, Glazov, and Surovatikha facilities, all east of Moscow, ICBM support equipment has
been observed in addition to limited amounts of MRBM- and IRBM-associated equipment.
At the Toropets facility, although linear tapered objects, possibly missiles, have been
observed on occasion, no missile equipment has been positively identified. However, the
layout, type of buildings, and apparent mode of operation at Toropets indicate that it
performs the same type of function as the other seven missile support facilities.
The recent observation of missiles and missile components at several of the
facilities indicates that the function of the facilities includes the storage and possible
assembly of missiles as well as the maintenance and storage of missile-associated equip-
25X1 ment. Two probable SS-5 missiles were identified at Tambov in I a large number
25X1 of SS-6 components were observed at Glazov ml and a SAVAGE three-stage
25X1 missile was observed at Bobrovskiy also in

A large number of vehicles and pieces of equipment, including missile transporters,
propellant transporters, missile erectors, and prime movers, have been observed in open
storage at all the facilities except Toropets. No significant or rapid change in the amount
of this equipment has been observed in the past four years, although there was a con-
siderable reduction in the number of support vehicles at Novaya Mezinovka between
and a reduction in the number of missile transporters
occurred at the Tambov facility between
The lack of a significant or rapid change in the amount of equipment suggests that
it is the function of the facilities to provide more or less permanent storage for missile
support equipment. The reported lack of communications activity involving these facilities
during Soviet Rocket Forces General Staff Command exercises indicates that the facilities
are not in the operational chain of command and therefore are not called upon for quick
reaction support to deployed launch complexes.1 No external communications system has
been observed at any of the eight facilities.
Physical Features
All of the missile support facilities have a similar general design, but the rail pattern
varies. Each facility has two main areas: a rail-served storage and maintenance area and
a housing and support area.
Storage and Maintenance Area
The storage and maintenance area at each facility contains a storage area, consisting
of a series of rail- or road-served drive-in or drive-through buildings, some of which are
revetted; a repair or maintenance area with large, high-bay drive-through buildings; a
vehicle storage area containing large, low-pitched gable-roofed buildings; and a rail dis-
tribution system. All of the facilities except Bobrovskiy also have a transshipment area
containing two buildings identical in size and apparent operation. Each facility has at
least one large, high-bay drive-through building probably used for repairing or refurbishing
large vehicles.
At the Bobrovskiy, Glazov, and Surovatikha facilities, the storage and maintenance
area appears to have a more definite pattern than at the other five facilities. At these
three facilities, the storage and maintenance area consists of three parts: a vehicle storage
area, a revetted building area, and an area containing buildings with a short projection
or L-shaped entrance and served by a rail-trench system.
This rail-trench system is a transloading system unique to six of the missile support
facilities. The system consists of a main rail spur which intersects a central rail trench
at right angles, with a large bridge crane at the intersection capable of transferring
heavy or bulky material. The crane transfers the material from the rail car to a dolly on
a tracked turntable in the rail trench. From the trench the dolly rolls onto a narrow-
gauge tracks leading into one of the rail-in storage buildings situated on each side of
the rail trench.
At the other two facilities, Berdichev and Toropets, the rail line forms a loop, passing
between the rows of rail-in buildings, permitting the unloading of material directly onto
narrow-gauge rail dollies which go into the buildings.
The arrangement and revetting of some of the rail-in buildings suggest the presence
of sensitive or potentially hazardous materials. At six of the facilities, two buildings at
the end of the central rail trench are revetted, separately secured, and screened from
ground observation.
The Bobrovskiy and Surovatikha facilities each have a number of storage buildings
which differ from those at the other missile support facilities. At the Borovskiy facility,
some rail-in buildings are surrounded by blast walls and resemble the storage buildings
observed at solid fuel testing facilities. The Surovatikha facility has rail-served side-loading
buildings also enclosed by blast walls.
Housing and Support Area
The housing and support area at each facility is adjacent to the storage and mainte-
nance area and is a self-sufficient community with family housing, commissaries, troop
quarters, schools, heatplants, motor pools, administration buildings, and recreational
facilities. In each facility is a military area which contains buildings associated with
facility administration, operations and control, and troop support.

The housing and support area at each of the facilities has remained basically un-
25X1 changed since it was first observed. However, an increase in troop strength since
is indicated by the construction of a total of at least 19 apartment-type family quarters
containing at least 1,048 family units at seven of the facilities. At Berdichev and Bobrov-
skiy the number of housing units has almost doubled. It is also observed that civilian
houses at several facilities have been converted to military use. The number of personnel
stationed at these facilities cannot be determined precisely because of the difficulty in
differentiating between troop housing and workers housing; however, it is estimated that
the number of family housing units in apartment-type buildings at the eight facilities is
in excess of 4,500.
Balta Missile Support Facility
The Balta Missile Support Facility (Figure 2) is approximately 12 nm east-southeast
of Balta, on the Kotovsk-Pervomaysk rail line. It is 20 nm southeast of the Balta MRBM
Complex and 40 nm west of the Pervomaysk IRBM Complex. Two SAM sites are approxi-
mately 14 nm from the Balta facility, one south and the other southwest of the facility.
Other military installations in the area include the Balta and the Kotovsk Army Barracks,
the Kotovsk SSM Training Facility, and the Kotovsk SAM Support Facility.
25X1 The Balta facility was first observed in when four large apartment-type
buildings were under construction in the housing area. A rail-to-road transfer point, first
25X1 observed under construction in' appeared to be complete in' Since
25X1 several buildings have been constructed, including a high-bay drive-through probable
maintenance and repair building in the storage area and an apartment-type building in
the housing area. Immediately south of the housing area are two possible additional
apartment-type buildings which were first observed under construction in
25X1

and appeared to be complete b
Information on this facility is based primarily on photography of
available at the time of this report.
The multiple-fenced storage and maintenance area contains 53 large buildings, of
which 12 appear to be for vehicle storage and maintenance and 32 appear to be for the
storage of possibly hazardous or sensitive materials. Two transshipment buildings, common
to all the facilities except Bobrovskiy, are situated on the rail line just inside the western
perimeter of the secured area. A gantry crane extending from one end of each transship-
ment building spans a rail spur which branches from the main rail line.
In the center of the storage and maintenance area are two rows of 28 rail-in storage
buildings (item 9) served by a dual track in the central north-south rail trench, which
intersects the main east-west rail line. A large bridge crane at the intersection is used to
transfer cargo from the rail cars on the main rail line to probable dollies on tracked
turntables in the rail trench. The rail-in storage buildings are approximately long
25X1 by !wide and are about 350 feet apart. Each has three narrow-gauge rail entrances
approximately 15 feet wide. At the southern end of the rail trench are two revetted,
separately secured buildings, similar to those observed at five other support facilities.
Immediately east of the separately secured buildings is a large mobile gantry crane which
spans a small three-track holding yard, which probably serves an adjacent vehicle storage
and maintenance area containing 11 buildings. A four-track holding yard is observed in
the northern part of the storage area. In the southwest part of the area is a large high-
bay building, probably used for maintenance or refurbishing of missile support vehicles.
A considerable amount of MRBM and IRBM support equi ment and a large number
25X1 of rail cars have been observed consistently at this facility. In
at least 88 rail
cars were observed. No major change in the amount or type of equipment has been
observed.
The housing and support area, immediately west-southwest of the storage area, is
a self-sufficient community of more than 75 buildings, including an estimated 300 apart-
ment-type family units, barracks, a gymnasium, a community center, a fire station, a
school, and a heatplant. There has been relatively little change in the housing and support
25X1 area since I

Berdichev Missile Support Facility
The Berdichev Missile Support Facility (Figure 3) is 11.5 nm west-northwest of Berdi-
chev and 1.5 nm south of the Berdichev-Shepetovka rail line. This facility is situated in a
region dominated by military installations. In addition to four SAM sites within 25 nm,
there are two ammunition depots, 'two SAM support
facilities, and at least eight army barracks or headquarters facilities within 50 nm. Within
100 nm are eight MRBM launch complexes consisting of 22 permanent launch positions
and one IRBM complex with three launch positions.
The Berdichev facility was first observed in In the housing area, four new
two-story multifamily apartment buildings have been constructed since and
an additional multistory barracks was observed completed in In the
northern part of the storage area, a large low-pitched gable-roofed structure was constructed
during A probable sewage disposal plant, started in
was still under construction
The heavily secured storage and maintenance area contains 105 large buildings, of
which 74 appear to be for storage and 13 appear to be for vehicle repair or storage.
Seven of the 74 storage buildings are revetted. There are two transshipment buildings,
each with a gantry crane spanning one of the rail spurs which branch from the main line
just inside the southwest corner of the facility.
At this facility, as at Toropets, the rail line forms a loop, so rail cars can be channeled
directly into the central rail trench. At the northwest end of the rail trench are two
separately secured, revetted buildings. Also at the northwest end of the rail trench, one
rail line branches to form a loop, passing through a large T-shaped high-bay building
(item 19) which is probably used in the preparation of materials for rail shipment. South-
west of the T-shaped building are two other high-bay buildings, one with a gantry crane
at both entrances, which are probably used in the repair or refurbishing of large vehicles.
A short rail spur inside the vertex of the wye at the southeast end of the rail trench
apparently is a parking area for a railroad crane which is probably used to transfer mate-
rials from the rail trench to adjacent storage buildings.
A small rail-to-road transfer point with an overhead crane is in the southwest corner
of the storage and maintenance area. ml
A road connects the transfer point with five revetted buildings
along the south and southeast perimeter of the storage area.
A large amount of equipment for the SS-3, SS-4, and SS-5 missile systems has been
observed in open storage since the facility was first observed on high-resolution photog-
raphy in L IN0 significant change in the amount or type of equipment has
been observe
The housing and support area, just west of the storage and maintenance area, has
more than 110 buildings, including barracks, family housing units, a gymnasium, a com-
missary, a community center, a fire station, schools including a nursery school, and a
heatplant. Outdoor recreational facilities include a soccer field, basketball and volleyball
courts, jumping pits, and a skeet range. The amount of family housing has almost doubled
sincel land now consists of approximately 625 family apartment units.

Bobrovskiy Missile Support Facility
The Bobrovskiy Missile Support Facility (Figure 4), one of four east of Moscow, is 16
nm southeast of Sverdlovsk on the main rail line between Sverdlovsk and Kamensk-
Uralskiy. A number of military installations are within 20 nm of this facility, including
four SAM sites, the Bazhenovo Ammunition Depot, the Sverdlovsk/Koltsovo Airfield, and
four army installations.
25X1 The facility was first observed in when it was next observed
25X1 on photography, it was still in an early stage of construction. In five
25X1 large rail-in buildings, each kere observed in an early stage of construction
25X1 in the northern part of the storage area, and byl they were almost completed.
25X1 An additional large rail-in building in this area was completed in These
large rail-in buildings (items 2 and 3) resemble those observed at solid fuel testing in-
stallations. Immediately west of the rail-in buildings are four revetted buildings, construe-
25X1 ted during the same time period. Since six low-pitched gable-roofed buildings
(items 17 and 18) and a rail-in building (item 19) have been observed under construction
25X1 in the eastern part of the storage area
25X1
Within the multiple-fenced storage and maintenance area, a considerable amount of
25X1 ICBM support equipment has been observed recently.
25X1
The ICBM equipment observed is probably for use at the three ICBM complexes
situated within 100 nm of the Bobrovskiy facility. The only known operational complex
for the solid-fueled ICBM is at Yoshkar-Ola, 500 nm to the west. The nearest IRBM
launch complex is at Aktyubinsk, approximately 450 nm southwest of Bobrovskiy.
This installation differs in several respects from the other seven missile support

facilities. The type of rail-in buildings in the northern part of the storage area and their
arrangement are different from those at the other facilities. Also, this facility does not
have the two transshipment buildings observed at the other facilities. In common with
the other support facilities, however, are the heavily secured storage and maintenance
area, the rail transfer system, and the housing and support area.
The storage and maintenance area contains 50 large buildings, of which 26 have L-
shaped entrances such as those observed at the Glazov and Surovatikha facilities. The
main rail line enters the southwest corner of the storage and maintenance area and

separates into several spurs before branching into a five-track holding yard. A rail spur
under construction will serve the new building also under construction in the eastern
part of the area. Another rail spur extends northward to a four-track holding yard, and
from the north end of this yard a spur extends eastward to serve a high-bay rail-in
building. The spur which serves this rail-in building can also be used to channel rail
cars directly into the central rail trench, a feature similar to that observed at the Novaya
Mezinovka installation. A large bridge crane at the intersection of the main rail line and
the central rail trench also provides for transferring materials to the rail-in buildings
along the trench. A large high-bay building at the end of the northwest rail spur appears
to be for the repair or refurbishing of large vehicles. A similar rail-served building is
observed in the south-central part of the storage and maintenance area.
A well-developed rail-to-road POL transfer point at the southeastern edge of the
facility is similar to one observed at the Drovyanaya ICBM Complex support facilities.
The equipment observed at the Bobrovskiy facility is associated primarily with the
SS-7, SS-9, and SS-11 ICBM systems. The amount of equipment appears to have increased
25X1 slightly since but the interpretability of the photography precludes its identifi-
cation.
The housing and support area is the largest observed at any of the eight installations.
25X1 Since a number of buildings have been constructed, including apartment-
type buildings, two schools, and a large civic center. Six of the apartment-type buildings,
25X1 started in have five stories each and contain a total of approximately 440
apartment-type quarters. There is a total of 14 four- and five-story modern apartments,
four two-story apartments, and four small dormitory-type units within the housing area.
The large apartment buildings are designed to house an estimated 800 families. The small
dormitory-type units contain approximately 400 rooms with common kitchens. It is esti-
mated that at least 1,200 families could be housed in the housing area.

Glazov Missile Support Facility
The Glazov Missile Support Facility (Figure 5), 25 nm southeast of Glazov, is situated
on the Trans-Siberian Railroad and is linked by a primary road to a major highway. Two
SA-2 SAM sites are within 25 nm of the facility, and the Perm and Yurya ICBM Complexes
are within 100 nm of the facility.
The facility was first observed in and it was operational at that time,
although a few buildings and annexes were not completed until! "At that
time, the foundation for a large building was observed in the southern part of the storage
and maintenance areal
High-resolution photography has revealed the presence of ICBM missile components
and ICBM missile stage transporters in open storage at this facility. None of the equip-
ment can be identified specifically with the MRBM or IRBM systems; propellant trans-
porters similar to those observed at the facility are used for both ICBM and MRBM/IRBM
systems. The Glazov facility is conveniently located for handling ICBM equipment. It is
situated on the Trans-Siberian Railroad, in the midst of the belt of ICBM complexes, and
near the Penn, Yurya, and Yoshkar-Ola ICBM Complexes. The nearest IRBM complex is
500 nm and the nearest MRBM complex is 750 nm from the facility.
The Glazov facility has a more organized layout than the other missile support facilities.
It consists of a storage and maintenance area and a housing and support area, each with
several functional subdivisions.
The multiple-fenced storage and maintenance area includes a missile components
storage area, a missile support equipment storage area, a maintenance and repair area,
an area of construction, and two open storage areas. In the storage and maintenance
area, the main rail spur branches into a six-track classification yard, which is served
by two rail-through transshipment buildings. A rail wye extending from the classification
yard intersects standard-gauge dual tracks which pass between the rail-in storage buildings,
and a double overhead bridge crane is observed at the intersection. A narrow-gauge
track extending at right angles from the dual tracks serves a number of maintenance and
25X1 repair buildings west of the tracks.
The missile components storage area consists of 30 rail-in missile components storage
buildings which form a ladder pattern on the two sides of the central dual tracks. Each
rail-in building is served by three narrow-gauge tracks.II.id
SS-7 components have been observed in a rail-served walled-in area between two of the
storage buildings (items 7 and 8). SS-7 components have been observed in an area of
rail-served missile-ready tents between two other storage buLdings.
The missile support equipment storage area has 15 drive-in storage buildings, eight
drive-through storage buildings, and a high-bay maintenance building, all served by a
concrete apron system. The maintenance and repair area has several high-bay multi-
section maintenance and repair buildings, including three rail-in buildings.
An area of construction in the southern part of the storage and maintenance area
contains a large, multilevel, rail-through probable repair and maintenance building in
a late stage of construction (item 18), which is similar to a building (item 1, Figure 6)
at the Novaya Mezinovka facility. The area of construction also contains a four-track
storage yard and a foundation for a large building. The foundation has been observed
for three years and construction has been dormant for two years. Lack of construction
activity possibly is due to a delayed need for their functions. Most of the southern section
is undeveloped, although it is within the elaborate security perimeter. It is possible that
this section was intended to accommodate future systems, and the present slow construc-
tion activity may be the beginning of an expansion throughout this area.
There are two open storage areas. One is south of the missile support equipment
storage area and is used for the storage of SS-6 booster components. The other is near
the classification yard and is for the storage of SS-7 stage transporters.
The housing and support area is divided into a housing area, a military barracks
and administration area, a motor pool and maintenance area, an underground POI. storage
area and refueling point, a heatplant and utilities area, an additional heatplant, a water
pumping and storage area, and a concrete batching and prefabrication area. An estimated
835 family-type apartment units are in the housing area.

Novaya Mezinovka Missile Support Facility
The Novaya Mezinovka Missile Support Facility (Figure 6) is in the midst of the
belt of MRBM and IRBM complexes in the western USSR and is on the Minsk-Baronovichi
rail line. It is 43 nm southwest of Minsk and 50 nm northeast of Baronovichi. Ten MRBM
complexes consisting of 23 permanent launch sites and one IRBM complex with three
sites are within 100 rim of the facility. Two SAM sites are within 20 nm of the facility.
A SAM support facility, 1 nm north of the Novaya Mezinovka facility, appears to utilize
a fenced housing and administration site at the north edge of the missile support facility
housing area.
The Novaya Mezinovka facility was first observed in land e rail-to-road
transfer point was first identified in The l th
acuity has remained relatively
unchanged sincep aside from the completion of two large apartment-type buildings
and a rail repairs op.
A large amount of MRBM and IRBM support equipment has been observed consistently
at the facility and the movement of a number of vehicles has been observed on several
occasions. nil at least 200 vehicles, including probable warhead vans, support
vans, and probable generators, were observed at the rail-to-road transfer point. These
vehicles were previously in the storage and maintenance area and their removal from
that area began in I lithe vehicles were no longer observed at
the facility. In! 0 SS-3 trans.orters were observed for the first time in one
of the open storage areas.
The storage and maintenance area, secured by multiple fencing and patrols, contains
at least 75 buildings, of which 45 are for equipment storage. At least 12 of the buildings
appear to be for vehicle storage, three for vehicle repair or refurbishing, and two are
the transshipment buildings common to six other missile support facilities. Ten of the
storage buildings at the southern end of the rail trench, are of similar size and have
the same L-shaped entrances as those observed at the Bobrovskiy, Glazov, and Surovatikha
facilities.
The rail system employs a large bridge crane for transferring material from the in-
coming rail spur to the rail trench. In addition, a rail spur branches from the four-track
holding yard along the south perimeter of the storage area and joins the track in the
rail trench, permitting rail cars to go directly into the rail trench.
A rail-to-road transfer point with two end-loading platforms and a gantry crane is at
the eastern end of the holding yard. A rail spur, branching from the main rail line as it
enters the northwest perimeter of the storage area, serves four widely spaced, side-loading,
revetted buildings along the western perimeter. A parallel spur serves three similar
buildings immediately east of these revetted buildings.
A number of rail cars tapered at one end are observed throughout the facility. Two
rail cars with extensions at both ends, each carrying a tapered object 60 feet long and
n diameter, were observed along the eastern edge of the storage and maintenance
The storage area contains two large high-bay buildings (items 3 and 6) for vehicle
repair and refurbishing. One of these buildings is at the north end of the rail trench and
is served by three narrow-gauge tracks. The narrow-gauge tracks at the eastern entrance
to the building form a loop and then enter a nearby two-story storage building. A short
rail spur from the main rail line serves a small side-loading dock adjoining one of the
large high-bay buildings (item 6). To the east is the second high-bay building (item 3),
which has gantry cranes at the front and rear entrances. A third high-bay building (item
9), observed immediately east of the bridge crane in the center of the storage area, is a

25X1 north of the Surovatikha facility, and five SAM sites are within 20 nm of the missile sup-
port facility.
The Surovatilcha facility was first observed in land in
a new rail-to-road transfer point was observed on the western edge of the facility. In
!six large new buildings were identified in the storage and maintenance area.
In the housing and support area, 12 buildings, including a large vehicle repair shed, a
probable school, and a large apartment-type building with approximately 64 units, have
been completed since A total of 408 family housing units have been identified
in the housing area.
Support equipment associated with the SS-4, SS-5, SS-7, and SS-9 missile systems has
been identified at this facility on high-resolution photography since I=1 Otis assumed
that the SS-7 and SS-9 equipment furnishes support to the four ICBM complexes with-
in 300 rim of the facility.
The secured storage and maintenance area, which contains at least 90 buildings, has
three functional areas: a vehicle storage area with 36 buildings, a rail-served area with
eight side-loading revetted buildings, and an area of 31 buildings with L-shaped entrances
(item 4) served by the rail-trench system. The buildings with L-shaped entrances are
similar to those observed at the Bobrovskiy and Glazov facilities. There are two high-bay
buildings, one near the bridge crane at the intersection of the rail-trench system and the
other in the vehicle storage area.
Two transshipment buildings are situated on the main rail spur just after it enters
the secured storage area. The two transshipment buildings at this facility differ slightly
from those observed at six of the support facilities: they do not have external gantry
cranes spanning the rail spur; instead, each building extends over one of the rail spurs
and it is assumed that a gantry crane is in each building to perform the loading or un-
25X1 loading function.
The transloading system at this facility consists of a rail-trench system, with a bridge
crane for transferring materials. The facility also has a candelabra rail arrangement serv-
ing eight side-loading revetted storage buildings (item 30).

Tambov Missile Support Facility
The Tambov Missile Support Facility (Figure 8) is 15 rim south of Tambov and 1
nm west of the Tambov-Saratov rail line. There are four SAM sites within 15 rim of the
facility and a SAM support facility is 2 rim south of the Tambov facility.
The missile support facility is approximately 210 rim south-southeast of Moscow.
Although it is approximately 400 nm east of the belt of MRBM and IRBM complexes in
the western USSR, two missiles and a considerable amount of MRBM and IRBM support
25X1 equipment have been identified on high-resolution photography since I
It is possible that this facility is a depot and repair center for equipment for the three
IRBM launch complexes with seven launch sites and the three MRBM launch complexes
with seven launch sites in the Caucasus Mountains and the south-central USSR.

The multiple-fenced storage area contains at least 68 large buildings, of which 56 are
probably storage buildings. Of these, ten are probably for vehicle storage and two are
probably for missile storage or assembly. Two large high-bay buildings appear to be for
the maintenance and repair of large vehicles. Two transshipment buildings, each with a
gantry crane extending over one rail spur, are situated on the main rail spur just inside
the storage area. At the north end of the rail spur is a separately secured area contain-
ing three buildings, two of which are surrounded by blast walls.
A number of changes have occurred in the storage and maintenance area since
six large low-pitched gable-roofed buildings have been constructed at the
southwest end of the rail trench. A new rail spur entering the south perimeter of the
storage area was observed in
The main rail line enters the southeast corner of the storage area and separates into
four tracks, two of which are spanned by gantry cranes extending from the two trans-
shipment buildings. A spur branches from the main line just inside the storage area and
extends northeast to serve three widely separated, side-loading, revetted storage buildings
and an open storage area. The main rail spur intersects a two-track rail trench, and a
bridge crane is at the intersection to transfer material destined for the rail-in storage
buildings along the rail trench.
IA considerable amount of sup-
port equipment for the SS-3, SS-4, and SS-5 systems has been observed at this facility
on high-resolution photography I lAt least 60 SS-2 missile transporters

Toropets Missile Support Facility
25X1 The Toropets Missile Support Facility (Figure 9) is 8.2 nm south of Toropets, on the
25X1 Toropets-Staraya Toropa rail line and highway. Military installations near the facility in-
clude a SAM support facility, 2.5 rim to the north; the Toropets Ammunition Depot, 9
nm to the north; and four SAM sites within 15 nm of the facility.
25X1 (Between=land
several new buildings were observed in the storage area. The presence of
MRBM IRBM, or ICBM support equipment has not been confirmed at this facility and
there appears to be less activity than at the other facilities. However, the layout, type of
2 5X1 buildings, and apparent mode of operation at Toropets indicate that it probably performs
the same type of function as the other seven facilities. DA
canvas-coveredi 'tapered objects were observed at the front and rear entrances
to a large high-bay building (item 18) in the storage and maintenance area. In addition,
g?1 unidentifiedl-llong linear tapered objects were seen on the main
loading dock, north of one of the transshipment buildings (item 21).1
The multiple-fenced storage and maintenance area contains 82 large buildings, of
which 42 appear to be for storage and 20 appear to be for vehicle maintenance and stor-
age. Ten of the storage buildings (item 24) have narrow-gauge tracks extending ap-
proximately 30 feet from the building entrances. A narrow-gauge rail line, serving a high-
bay building in the northeast part of the storage area, joins the main rail line which
passes between the rail-in storage buildings and terminates just short of the loading dock
at the northwest end of the trench.
The rail system at this facility is similar to that at Berdichev. The main rail line
forms a loop, so that rail cars can go directly into the rail trench and no bridge crane is
needed. At one end of the rail trench are two separately secured, revetted storage build-
ings, such as are observed at five other support facilities.
Two transshipment buildings, each with a gantry crane spanning the rail spur, are in
the eastern part of the storage area. A rail spur branching from the main line in the
western corner of the storage area serves three widely spaced, side-loading revetted stor-
rage buildings. A considerable number of rail cars have been observed consistently on
*hie eirlivirt At 1+7116 anoles to the main rail line are eight lengths of standard-gauge track
25X1 I
25 In the housing and support area, some individual housing its were probably taken
Xun
1 over from the local civilian population for military use when the facility was in an early
stage of construction. An estimated 158 apartment-type family units have been identified
at the facility. Only minor changes have been observed in the housing and support area
