SSC-1b SHADDOCK MISSILE/EQUIPMENT
DEPLOYMENT, USSR
1. An upgrading of the Soviet SAMLET SSC-2b cruise missile coastal defenses through the
gradual introduction of the SHADDOCK SSC-1b cruise missile system has been observed since
mid-1967. The SHADDOCK missile, which is a variant of the naval SS-N-3 cruise missile, has an
operational range almost twice that of the older, shorter range SAMLET missile.
2. This report includes drawings of SHADDOCK missile equipment observed, a table of
sightings, and annotated photographs.
3. As of January 1.974, SHADDOCK equipment has been observed at a total of 14
coastal-defense-related facilities representing all four Soviet fleet areas (Figure 1 and Table 1). In
most instances SHADDOCK transporter-erector-launchers (TEL, see Figure 2) and associated
equipment either replace or are collocated with SAMLET equipment at existing SAMLET installations.
At other installations new hardened sites with twin-tube launchers similar to the SS-N-3 launchers
on the KRESTA-l guided missile light cruiser (Figure 3) are being constructed. These launchers may
fire the SS-N-3 rather than the SHADDOCK missile. These two missiles are similar in appearance
and are considered to have virtually the same capability.
4. The SHADDOCK SSC-1b missile, with an operational range of approximately 150 nautical
miles (nm), provides a significant increase in coastal defense capability over the older SAMLET missile,
with a maximum range of 80 nm.' The introduction of this SHADDOCK equipment at installations
in all four fleet areas over the past few years and the construction of hardened SHADDOCK/SS-N-3
launch sites on the North Sea and Black Sea coasts are evidence that the Soviet Union is upgrading
coastal defenses either by augmenting or gradually replacing the older cruise missile systems.
5. The first sighting of SHADDOCK equipment in a coastal defense application was in the
Black Sea. A SHADDOCK TEL was seen in June 1967 at the Sevastopol Cruise Missile Storage Facility;
eight TELs were seen at the Sevastopol Coastal Defense Site 1 and transporters,
probable SCOOP PAIR radar, and probable missile and component crates were seen at the storage
facility. A total of 14 TELs were present at the site and storage facility
(Figure 4).
6. Two hardened coastal defense sites each containing two launch positions with KRESTA-I
type launchers were constructed at Balaklava by August 1969. The launchers were probably present
at the time the sites were completed, although the actual launchers were not seen until August 1971
when the launch site doors were open and one launcher was elevated to the firing position (Figure
5). Transporters were seen at sites 1 and 2 in November 1.971, and two SCOOP PAIR radars were
identified in January 1973.
7. The first observed deployment of the SHADDOCK system for coastal defense outside the
Black Sea Fleet was in the Pacific Fleet area
one possible SHADDOCK missile
25X1
crate was identified at the Ryurik Cruise Missile Support Facility.
four SHADDOCK
25X1
TELs were seen at Ryurik and four were also at the Dunay Naval Missile Storage Facility, 34 nm
to the west-northwest. five SHADDOCK TELs, one transporter, and one SHEET
BEND radar were deployed at the Ryurik Coastal Defense Site 1 (Figure 6). They were possibly
undergoing a training exercise, because this equipment was gone from the site
and was not visible in either the support facility or at Dunay.

8. Elsewhere in the Pacific Fleet area five SHADDOCK missile crates were first seen at the
Petropavlovsk Cruise Missile Support Facility our 25X1
SHADDOCK TELs were seen in an associated vehicle park approximately 1 nm to the south-southwest.
As of January 1974 this equipment had not been observed deployed from the support facility to
the Petropavlovsk coastal defense sites.
9. In June 1971 construction began on the two hardened coastal defense sites on Kildin Island.
Site 1 (Figure 7) and site 2, each consisting of two launch positions, had not been completed by
January 1974, but KRESTA-I type launchers have been present since August 1971.
10. At the Mys Kekurskiy coastal defense site, 55 nm west-northwest of Kildin, nine
SHADDOCK missile crates first appeared at the support facility in July 1972, and a transporter
was seen there in June 1973. No TELs or other SHADDOCK components have yet been detected
at this facility or at the Mys Kekurskiy launch site.
11. SHADDOCK cruise missile equipment was first seen in the Baltic Fleet area in January
1973 when ten missile and eight component crates were observed at the Ventspils Cruise Missile
Support Facility.
1.2. In April 1973 a possible SHADDOCK transporter was seen at the Donskoye Cruise Missile
Support Facility, and in May 1973 a SHADDOCK TEL was parked 4 nm north-northwest of Donskoye
in a vehicle maintenance area at the Bryusterort Airfield. As of January 1974 no SHADDOCK
equipment had been observed in any of the coastal defense launch positions along the Baltic Sea
coast.
