This report, formerly published bimonthly by the GMAIC Deployment
Working Group (DWG) in mimeograph form, has been expanded to include
additional data. It will continue to be published bimonthly in this new
format.
Dissemination of the report was previously limited to holders of
the DWG report, Soviet Surface-to-Surface Missile Deployment. Because
the information contained herein is both supplemental and self-sustaining,
distribution will no longer be limited to holders of the above report.
The current format provides a comprehensive, ready reference
listing of all ICBM, IRBM, and MRBM deployment locations, types of
site configurations, photographic references, estimated construction and
operational status, and other evaluations of the DWG. Additional data
may be added to future revisions.

This report is the seventh revision of
Evaluations of Soviet Surface-to-Surface Missile
Deployment preparedby the Deployment Working
Group of the Guided Missiles and Astronautics
Intelligence Committee. The sixth revision,
dated 1 April 1963 and disseminated under con-
trol number should
be destroyed in accordance with existing in-
structions for handling ma-
terial.
(~9/
~tas provided
additional information on the construction timing
and pace of the Soviet missile deployment
program which is reflected in the estimates
and operational status shown in Tables 2 and
3. A new ICBM complex with one hardened
launch site has been identified near Olovyannaya
in the Soviet Far East, bringing the total
number of deployed complexes to 18. A total
of 76 ICBM sites (150 launchers) has been
identified to date at these 18 deployed com-
plexes. Of this total, about 108 are con-
sidered to be operational. See Figure 1 for
locations of deployed ICBM complexes. Four
basic ICBM launch site configurations (see
Figure 2) have been identified and are char-
acterized as follows:
Type I - A soft site with arail-served
pad similar to Launch Complex A or B at
Tyura Tam. To date,, this type has been
observed only at Plesetsk.
Type II - A soft site with two road-served
pads similar to' the original Launch Complex
C at Tyura Tam. This type was first observed
at Yurya and subsequently at 11 other locations.
There are two basic modes of this type.*
*The USAF, DIA, and NSA members of GMAIC believe that
there are three configurations of this type, and all have
similar, common identifying characteristics. They assert
that the Type IV site listed above is the third mode of the
Type II soft, road-served site.
Type III - A hardened site observed at
Launch Complex D, Tyura Tam, and at ten
confirmed ICBM complexes. It is more likely
that this type of site contains three launch
silos than the two previously reported. Neither
the degree of hardening nor the depth of the
silos can be determined from available pho-
tography (Figure 3).**
Type IV - A soft site consisting of two
road-served launch pads. This type was first
observed at Tyumen and subsequently at three
other confirmed ICBM complexes. It differs
from Type II sites as follows: (1) the pad
separation is between 800 and 870 feet instead
of 980 feet; (2) the drive-through ready build-
ing is smaller (130 by 115 feet) and is located
within the loop road pattern; (3) there is a
prominent "plus" configuration located at the
rear or side of the launch site at most of the
sites under construction; its purpose has not
been determined; small buildings are located
on three legs of the "plus" ar some of the
sites; and (4) the four buildings located along
the center road between pads at Type II sites
are not apparent at these sites.
Good-quality photography reveals that de-
ployed Type III ICBM sites and Complex D
at Tyura Tam contain three silos. From
photography it is judged that two silos are
in fact launch silos but the function of the
third silo cannot be positively determined.
evidence reveals that a launching
exercise at Tyura Tam on ~ in-
volved an attempt to launch three missiles
within a period of 9 minutes and 56 seconds.
The first and third missiles were successfully
launched while the second launching was either
canceled or the missile failed early in flight.

Eight new launch sites (16 launchers) were
confirms a Soviet intent to launch three mis-
siles in 9 minutes and 56 seconds. While
the missiles could have been launched from more
than one Tyura Tam launch area, we believe
that the exercise was probably designed to
test an operational mode rather than the mere
ability to launch three missiles within 10-
minute period, and that an attempt was made
to launch all three missiles from the same
site. We believe that it is more likely that
this exercise was conducted from the pro-
totype Type III site at Area Dl than from the
soft pads at Complex C, or the uncompleted
hardened facility at launch Complex F.

is t e location of an ICBM complex which
includes 4 completed launch sites; two are
hardened Type III sites, and two are soft
Type II sites. This is the first known flight
between Tyura Tam and the Yedrovo area
and suggests the involvement of personnel
stationed at the Yedrovo ICBM complex with
the unusual launching exercise.
Therefore, considering all evidence, we
conclude that a Type III launch site more
likely contains 3 launch silos than the two
previously reported.*
*The Navy member does not concur in the level of confi-
dence expressed in the conclusion that the firings on
ere from Area D1 and were designed to test an oper-
ational mode. The Navy member believes it equally pos-
sible that these firings involved more than one launch
area at Tyura Tam. The final analysis of evidence on the
firings may further support this view. The photo-
grap ~c evidence reveals a number of features which are
inconsistent with a conclusion that these sites contain
three launch silos. Analysis to date indicates the third
silo at these sites is different from the other two and may
have a function other than launch. Therefore, the Navy
member reserves to the wording of the above three para-
graphs and concludes that it is just as likely the Type III
ICBM sites contain only two launch silos.
J (NOTE: Launch Site C, Yedrovo, has been reassem-
bled at a Type III site as a result of0 25X1
Of the eight new sites identified, six are
Type II sites of an undetermined mode. A
preliminary analysis indicates that their con-
figuration resembles a combination of C2 and
C3 at Tyura Tam. Until a detailedphotographic
analysis is completed, the six launch sites
will be listed as Type II sites of an undeter-
mined mode.
A preliminary analysis indicates that Omsk
Launch Site A, a hardened site, is different
from hardened Type III sites and may be re-
lated to Launch Area F at Tyura Tam. Pending
receipt of further evidence we will continue
to carry Omsk Launch Site A as a Type III site.
as a result of nd is now judged
to be only a possible site. The two launch
pads previously carried at Omsk Launch Site
B have been deleted from the tabulation (Table 2 ).
