Moskva Airframe Plant Fili No 23 (BE No
is located in the western suburbs of
Moskva, USSR, at 55-45-30N 037-20-20E (Fig-
ure 1). The plant is ad'acent to Moscow/Fili
25X1 Airfield and is served by
25X1
major roads and rail spurs.
The plant area is surrounded by 18,000 linear
feet of probable masonry/board wall with guard
towers. There are 10,700 linear feet of rail spurs
and 22,300 linear feet of hard surfaced road,
which is 25 feet wide, within the plant. The pre-
ceding measurements are to be considered as
only approximate. Figures 2, 3, and 4 show the
plant area in respectively.
All item numbers are keyed to Figure 5 which
gives the layout of the plant.
Moskva Airframe Plant Fili No 23, originally
called the "Gorbunov Plant," was built in the
late 1920s or early 1930s. 1/ It was called "Air-
frame Plant No 22" until 1941, when it was par-
tially evacuated. 1/ By late 1942, however, the
plant had been restored sufficiently to operate
and was reopened as "Airframe Plant No 23."
Reconstruction of buildings damaged by
World War II bombings was accomplished in
the early post-war years. 1/ Analysis of ~ 25X1
ea a 25X1

million square feet with a floorspace estimated
at 2.4 million square feet. 1 / Nine buildings
