KIYEV AIRCRAFT ASSEMBLY PLANT NO 413
KIYEV, USSR
Kiyev Aircraft Assembly Plant No 473
is located approximately
25X15 nautical miles west of the Dnepr River in the
northwest suburbs of Kiyev, USSR, at 50-27-40N
30-23-29E (Figure 1). The plant is adjacent to
Kiyev/Svyatoshino Airfield
which serves the plant as a test and flyaway
25X1 field. The plant is both road and rail served,
with approximately 3,500 linear feet of track
and approximately 16,100 linear feet of hard-
surfaced road, approximately 20 feet in width,
within the plant boundaries. The fence/wall

the Germans approached, the machinery of the
plant was dismaritled and evacuated to Novosi-

Analysis of
phy 0 indicated a total roof area of
approximately 310,000 square feet. The total
floorspace of the plant as of 1945 was estimated
to have been slightly less than 360,000 square
feet; Othe total floorspace was enlarged
to an estimated 890,000 square feet and an
estimated 760,000 square feet of roof cover. 2/
When observed on 0 photography of
the aircraft assembly plant contained
approximately 1,383,500 square feet of floor-
space, and analysis of ho-
tography revealed that the total floorspace had
increased to approximately 2,007,500 square
feet. Estimates made fro~photogra-

major buildings and 1 addition were constructed.
The addition was to the south side of the work-
shop/machine shop (item 1); theL new buildings
were the administration building (item 2) andthe
machine shop (item 5). The engineering/sub-

A comparison of the photography
with that of revealed much new
construction; a subassembly building/machine
shop (item 9), a workshop (item 12), a warehouse
(item 16), and an addition to the transshipment
building (item 14) were completed. Construction

photography and

progress on an addition to the
final assembly/subassembly building (item 13)
was visible; this building was
completed, as well as additions to the forge/
foundry (item 8) and the foundry/steamplant
(item 7). At this time construction could also
be seen on the POL storage area (Figure 4) in
the northwest area of the plant.
Completed0 were 2 warehouses
(item 19), a workshop/warehouse (item 15), the
probable transshipment section of the machine
shop (item 5), and the repair/maintenance
building (iteml1); under construction by this
time were the probable assembly building (item
17), a small building to the north of the assembly
building, and an addition to the warehouse
complex (item 19).
