This report supplements NPIC/R-59/64
and R-206/64, 1/ 2/ which discuss the Maykop
MRBM Complex, previously consisting of I
Type II launch area, 1 Type IV launch area,
1 fixed field site, and a probable rail-to-road
transfer point at Maykop.
Fixed Field Site No 2 (Figure 1) is lo-
cated in a sloping, heavily wooded area, at an
approximate elevation of 1,100 feet, 7.2 nau-
tical miles (nm) southwest of Maykop in the
Adygey Autonomous Oblast. The site is lo-
cated 2.2 nm northwest of I ,aunch Area No 1,
7.5 nm north-northeast of Launch Area No 2,
and 11.7 nm west-northwest of Fixed Field
Site No 1.
The site was first observed in
at which time the road
pattern and 2, possibly 3, of the launch positions
were evident. Launch Areas No I and 2
and Field Site No I were complete. They were
all first seen and identified in

is considered to be a fourth launch position.
No activity has been observed at the site on
any of the photography.
The access road enters the site from the
southeast and terminates in a crossbar forming
a T-shaped pattern. One launch position is
located at each end of the crossbar and 2
other launch positions are located on the
northern side of the access road. This places
3 of the launch positions in an east-west
line, with the fourth position located south
of the westernmost position. The distances
between the 3 positions in line are-
- The fourth position is
south of the westernmost position. The dis-
tance between the fourth position and eastern-
most position is t,000 feet. The approximate
dimensions of the positions, startin with the
westernmost position, are

is located between 2 of the noriaern
positions. The azimuth of the launch posi ions
is 175 degrees, which closely appr-coxirr:,ites
that of Launch Area No 1, which is 171 deg- yes.
The field site and the remainder of the camolex
probably have rail- to-roadfaciliries at :MavKop,
which has the nearest rail line. No rail -to-
road transfer point is identifiable.
Fixed Field Site No 2 is connected to the
remainder of the complex and Field tiite No
I by primary and improved secondary roads
which probably are also all-weather rords.
There is no security fence evident around the
site, but the pattern of cutting in the tdja,-.ent
woods would form an effective icreen against
ground-level observation.
