associated with the mines. Possible security checkpoints are located along
the 2 road entrances. The road leading north extends to a large industrial

A newly completed rail spur,. approximately 60 nm long, ends 1 nm east of the
plant area. Rolling stock, a turning wye, and an overhead loading trestle
are identifiable at the plant area; a large graded area is indicative of
future construction. Already evident are 2 prominent monitor-roofed
buildings, 1 administration building, a steam/power plant, a substation,
electric-power poles, and numerous housing support buildings of various
types. The area has been substantiated as favorable for the occurrence
of uranium. Because of the rail connections, and their association with
the mining activity, the plant under construction is suspect as a
uranium-ore processing mill. (TOP SECRET RUFF)

building is under construction alongside this excavation, and 3 large

constructed north-northwest of the site, adjacent to the transfer point.
The location of this site between Launch Groups A and B leaves little doubt

The following missile electronic installations were identified from
25X1D during a search of the Baku area,
USSR:
A large "Ukraina-type" revetment is located adjacent to
25X1A the south side of Baku SAM Support Facility 2 (40-20-30N
49-47-20E), The area, not present on photography
25X1D is separately secured and
25X1 D
contains a secure y ui ing, possible vehicles, and the
"Ukraina-type" revetment. A road branches from the revetment
service road, passes through the security fence, and terminates
in a loop immediately south of the secured area.
A completed, unoccupied SA-3 SAM Site is located 61.5 nm
SW of Baku at 39-38-10N 48-59-40E. The site was not present

Another completed, unoccupied SA-3 SAM Site is located
43.2 nm SSW of Baku at 39-47-05N 49-22-30E. The site was not

A probable TALL KING radar site is located 3 nm east of
Salyany, USSR and 61.7 nm SW of Baku at 39-37N 49-03E. An
area containing 2 occupied radar mounds and 5 support buildings
is located 1 nm to the north. (TOP SECRET RUFF)
