Airframe Plant No 1
is located at geographic coordinates 53-13N
50-18E on the southeastern edge of Kuybyshev,
USSR (Figure 1).
Detailed readouts of both Plant No 1 and
the contiguous Plant No 18 have been presented
in 2 previous photographic interpretation re-
ports. 1-2/ This report is confined to an ac-
count of the changes which have occurred at
Plant No 1 during the period I
Excellent stereo photography

able assembly building with an extraordinarily
high center section (item 1, Figure 3). A per-
spective drawing of this building is presented
on Figure 4. A few minor service buildings
have been added in the area north of the park-
ing apron of Plant No 18 and in the plant freight
station area. Dimensions of the principal build-
ings of Plant No 1 are given in the table on
Figure 3.
The plant rail net has changed very little
since Rail spurs in the area
between Plant No 1 and Plant No 18 (between
items 1 and 15A, Figure 3) were present in
1959. At that time several long rail cars,
similar to those visible on the
photography, and 4 multi-engine aircraft

occupied the present open area and some of the
space now occupied by the west end of the newly
completed probable assembly building (item 1,
Figure 3). The plant rail system is believed
capable of transporting any objects or using
any rolling stock that can be used on the USSR
rail system at large.
The road system throughout the plant area,
where the building density is high, is charac-
terized by numerous 90-degree turns, and the
main road entrance on the west side of the plant
also has sharp turns. These conditions suggest
that it would be difficult for unusually large
vehicles to enter the plant or to move about
within the plant area. The road which apparently
enters the northeast corner of the plant area
does not actually penetrate into the plant; rather,
it skirts the northeastern perimeter of the plant
area.
The system of rail spurs may have been
designed to obviate the necessity for the use of
large trucks.
Twenty-one aircraft were observed in the
plant area on photography of
(Figure 2). Four aircraft (3 CAB, 1 CRATE)
are parked adjacent to Plant No 1; the others
(8 CAB, 5 BEAR, 3 CLEAT, and 1 straight-
wing) are on the parking apron of Plant No 18.
Annotations on Figure 2 show the locations of
these aircraft.
RAILROAD CARS
Four pieces of rolling stock which look
like passenger cars are seen on the rail spurs
adjacent to the probable assembly building on
the photography (Figure 2). The
single car on the spur farthest from the building
is 80 feet long, and the other 3 cars, which are
on a spur nearer the building, are each 75 feet
long. Six cars of a similar appearance are on
2 spurs southwest of a large building (item 7,
Figure 3) at the western end of Plant No 1.
The single car on the westernmost spur is 70
feet long, and the lengths of the other 5 cars,
reading from north to south, are 75, 75, 75, 65,
and 80 feet, respectively. Except for their
unusual length, the rail cars in the plant area
have no perceptible distinguishing features.
Approximately 40 rail cars, a few of which
may be tankers, are in the yard adjacent to the
north boundary of the plant. Five additional
cars are just outside the plant area on the spur
which enters the western corner of the plant.
Neither these cars nor those in the rail yard
have any visible distinguishing features and
are not sufficiently well defined to permit
mensuration.
