ABSTRACT
1. Omsk Aircraft Engine Plant Baranova 29 is actively engaged in the produc~tiori of
helicopter engines and may also be involved in the production of missile propulsion
systems. Plant 29 consists of 117 completed buildings and structures, 10 of whi~~h are
considered to be major production-associated buildings. The total floorspace of Plant 2;a is
about 318,743 square meters (3,430,834 square feet).
25X1 2. a plant expansion program was observed under way outside the
northeast corner of the plant. This expansion includes a large probable assembly buildiing
and four probable utility buildings.
3. This report includes a description and chronological study of Plant 29, a disciassi.on
of status and production activity, and a discussion of related installations. Supp~orti.ng
graphics include a location map, a photograph, and a line drawing. A table of mensural
data keyed to the line drawing is also included.

8. Omsk Rocket Engine Test Facility Gornaya Bitiya is located 25X1
approximately 51.9 kilometers (28,0 nautical miles) north-northwest of Plant 29. In
a helicopter rotor test stand was identified at the Rocket Engine Test
Facility, providing the first photographic evidence in the Soviet Union of an association
between an aircraft engine plant and a rocket engine test facility.
9. Plant 29 consists of 117 buildings and. structures (Figure 3). The major production
buildings of Plant 29 are the engine test building, four large assembly/shop buildings, five
large shop buildings, a large forge/foundry, and a heating plant. An additional 15 buildings
can be considered as significant, production-related buildings: five shop buildings, four
large administration buildings, three large warehouses, a transshipment building, a
forge/foundry, and another smaller heating plant. The remaining 90 buildings and
structures include administration buildings, shop buildings, warehouses, a fire station, and
utility buildings,
10. A plant expansion program first seen under way in presently
includes large assembly-type building and four smaller buildings under construction
outside the northeast earner of the plant. This construction indicates a new and/ar
expanded production role far Plant 29.

Production Activity
22. Plant 29 is a known producer of the ASH-21 and ASH-28 engines used in the
HOUND- and HORSE-type helicopters 1 and may possibly be involved in the prod~uct:ion
of rocket engines. This possibility is strengthened b the proximity of the Omsk Rocket
Engine Test Facility Gornaya Bitiya and the identification of a helicopter 25X1
rotor test stand at that installation in 25X1
23. It is possible that the combined facilities of Plant 29, Omsk Airframe Plarit 166,
and Omsk Rocket Engine Test Facility Gornaya Bitiya could be utilized to produce an
entire liquid fueled rocket.
Essential Services
24. Rail service for Plant 29 is provided by a branch line of the Trans-Siberian
Railroad. The branch line forks immediately outside the southeast corner of the plant to
form three main spurs. Two of the spur lines serve the POL facilities located along t;he
southern perimeter of the plant area. The third spur serves the eastern plant area. Sidings
from this spur serve the transshipment building, the POL storage facility, and the support
complex in the southeast corner of the plant area.
25. The intricate pattern of roads and railroads within the area facilitates 1;he
movement of materials, products, and personnel of Plant 29.
26. The highway system in the immediate vicinity of Plant 29 is one of improved, all-
weather, serviceable roads. The roads within the plant area are improved, serviceable roads
and are connected to the highway system of the area.
25X1 27. Omsk Airfield East could supply the necessary air services :for
Plant 29. Port facilities on the west bank of the Irtysh River, approximately 6.0 kilometers
(3.3 nautical miles) southwest of the plant, are connected to Plant 29 byroad and rail.
28. Electrical ower for Plant 29 is supplied from a local source; Omsk Thermal ]Power
25X1 Plant TETS 2 located approximately 4.0 kilometers (2.2 nautical miles)
southwest of the p an area, cou d be the supplier.
Security
29. The plant is encompassed by a wall. There are two major personnel entrances in
the west wall, both of which are probably controlled by a security force. Major vehicle
entrances are identified in the west wall and the south wall. A probable vehicle entrance in
the north wall is located in the area of plant expansion and is probably a temporary access.
The only rail entrance to the plant is located in the south wall.
