SELECTED SOVIET MILITARY STORAGE AREAS, USSR
Analysis of recently obtained photography has revealed large
numbers of vehicles and equipment stored at several ordnance and ammunition
depots. Six of these installations have been selected for the report in
an attempt to identify similarities between the installations.
They are Bryansk Ordnance Depot Bryansk II, located in the Moscow Military
District; Kegichevka Ordnance Depot Territorium, located in the Kiyev Military
District; an ordnance depot and machine plant in Tbilisi, located in the
Transcaucasus Military District; Omsk Ordnance and Ammunition Depot PUG, located
in the Siberian Military District; Staraya Kuka Ammunition Depot SW 25
and Khabarosk Ordnance Depot Krasnaya Reckha 154, located in the ar East 25
Military District.
All but the Tbilisi installation were at least double secured by fences
with fire breaks and guard towers located between the fences. Internal
security was present in some of the installations but lacking in others. All
depots were rail served and contained a large number of storage buildings capable
of storing vehicles or equipment. Field artillery pieces were observed in all
installations but Kegichevka. Most of the equipment observed on 25
photography was not present on earlier coverage indicating either 25
a change in function of the installation to include the storage of vehicles and
equipment or an increase of the quantity of material beyond that which can be
housed.
The depots analyzed in this report are but a few that probably exist in
the Soviet Union. Large numbers of pieces of equipment are also observed at
depots in Kamenets.Podolskiy and Nezhin but quality of the photography precludes
identification.
All measurements have been made by the CIA/IAD analyst. They should not be
construed as being mensuration data compiled by the NPIC Technical Intelligence
Division.

The depot is located on the east side of the River Desna on the
NW edge of Fokinskiy.
The support area for the depot is located adjacent to the south part
of the installation.
t
The area is served by the Bryansk street system and by a rail
siding from the Moscow-Kiyev rail line which splits into five
sidings within the depot.
The depot is double secured by fences with 5 guard towers and a
probable guard building located between the fences. The support
area is secured by a single fence. No internal security is discernible.

LOCATION:
The depot is located on the SW side of Kegichevka.
SUPPORT AREA:
The support area is located on the NE end of the installation.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES:
The installation has access to the secondary road network in the
Kegichevka area. The nearest all-weather primary road is located
13 rim west. A rail siding from the Krasnograd-Slavyansk rail line
divides into two sidings within the storage area.
The storage area is double secured by fences with guard towers at
the corners. No internal security is observed within the depot.
The support area is singly secured with an internally secured open
storage area, a secured probable vehicle park, and a secured
unidentified area.

ORDNANCE DEPOT AND MACHINE PLANT-TBILISI
41 42N-o44 49E
The ordnance depot and machine plant are located on the NE side of the
Kura River in the center of Tbilisi.
There are 2 support areas. One is located in the SE corner of the
installation and one in the NE corner.
The area is served by a siding from the main rail line which passes
through the city and by the local street network.
The installation appears to be secured by a single fence although there
is much internal security. The machine plant is separately secured from
the ordnance depot. There are 6 separately secured areas within the
perimeter fence of the depot. The internal security is primarily in
the form of walls.

The machine plant is reportedly a producer of wine-making
equipment. However, 8 probable FA pieces are observed in the
plant area indicating the installation also has a probable
ordnance function. The munitions area is located at the extreme
north end of the installation with the larger part of the facility
serving as an ordnance depot. It appears that many of the buildings
now have a function other than for what they were originally intended.
Most of the possible SCUD equipment is separately secured within the
installation.

'The depot is located in the north central part of Omsk.
SUPPORT AREA:
The depot has two support areas. One is separately secured and
adjacent to the SW edge of the depot. The other is located with-
in the SW part of the installation.
The installation is served by the Omsk street system and a spur
off the Trans-Siberian rail line which splits into-2 sidings
within the secured area.
The depot is secured by 4 fences with the SW support area separately
secured by a wall. Ten probable guard towers and 2 security related
support buildings are located between the fences and the perimeter area
adjacent to the outside fences appears to be void of vegetation.
Internal security consists of a wall-secured area in the SW part of the
depot which probably has a transportation function. Two additionally
secured areas within the wall secured area may have a refueling function.

LOCATION:
The depot is located on the south edge of Khabarovsk.
SUPPORT AREA:
The probable support area is a housing area located immediately
north of the depot.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES:
The installation is served by the Khabarovsk street system and a spur
from the Trans-Siberian rail line which splits into 4 sidings within
the secured area.
The area is double secured by fences with a firebreak and 3 guard
buildings located between the fences. Internal security consists of a
fence separating the north and south parts of the installation, a
wall-secured vehicle park, and a separately secured vehicle/equipment
shed and maintenance building.
