This report, former ';published bimonthly by the GM:\IC ileplov-
ment Working Group IVf in mimeograph form, has been expanded to
include additional data. It will continue to be published bimonthly in this
new format.
Dissemination of the report %,.-, is previously limited to holders of
the DWG report, Soviet Surface -to-Surface Missile Deployment. Because
the information contained herein is both supplemental and self-sustaining,
distribution will no longer he limited to holders of the above report.
The current format provides a comprehensive, ready-reference
listing of all ICBM, IRBM, and \1RBM deployment locations, types of
site configurations, photographic references, estimated construction and
operational status, and other evaluations by the D\\'G. These data con-
stitute the majority view of the D\\'G membership, and may not corre-
spond precisely to individual assessments by each member. Additional
data may he added to future revisions.

.\t 2 of the 1S ICBM complexes, 2 new hard
sites and one new soft site have been identified
In addition, 3 hard sites, 2 pre-
viously evaluated as possible sites and one as a
probable site, have been confirmed. These newly
identified ICBM sites raise the total number of
confirmed and probable deployed sites to 105 (238
launchers). Additionally, one site is carried in
the possible category. Of the 238 launchers, al-
most 170 are considered to he operational. It
is significant to note that in addition to Plesetsk
we are now carrying three other complexes
(Itatka, Verkhnyaya Salda, Yoshkar-Ola) with all
sites estimated as operational and no new con-
struction apparent. Sec 1 iture I for locations
of deployed ICBM complexes.

to be complete The lack of
activity continues at Launch Area 13: however,
we will continue to carry the site for an addi-
tional period of time.
. We are carrying Launch Site A at Omsk
as operational in Table 2. This is the first
type IIIB site estimated to be operational, We
I 25X1 base this judgment on an average con-
struction timing for Type IIIA sites, and also
I25X1 D on the fact that backfilling had commenced when
this site was last observed

' 25X1 D oyered a large majority of all
dep oye . and IR13\1 complexes:however,
I D no new sites were identified. A reevaluation of
25X1
revealed one newly
identified soft RB\1 site at Bavram-Ali. See
Figure 3 for locations of deployed MR13\i'IR13\1
complexes. Typical configurations of the launch
sites are shown in Figure 4.
Although we cannot exclude the possibility
of a few new starts, it is the opinion of the 1)WG
25X1 D
that the initiation of new construction of both
hard and soft \1R13\1 and IRI3\1 launch sites has
ceased. Photographic evidence indicates that no
new starts have occurred

Number of Launch Silos of Hord
MRBM/IRBM Launch Sites
As previously reported, we have been
analyzing information relative to the number of
launch silos at hard MIR13%1'IR13\1 sites. Having
considered all available evidence, we conclude
that both more likely contain three launch silos
than the two previously reported. Tables I a nd 3
have been modified accordingly. We think it
unlikely that the \TRB\1 sites contain a fourth
launch silo.
Foverage of the Gclli IRB\1
Launch Complex furnished the first high-resolu-
tion photography of an open silo at any hard
missile site. This photography provides us with
additional detail, and indicates that the silo
cover operates on rails (Figure 5).

identified which does not contain the usual
housing and support facilities. Others in this
category include the MRI3\1 sites at Kraskino,
Marina Gorka, Rozhdestvenka, and l'zhgorod:
and the IR13\1 sites at E3elomorsk and Zhuravka.
It is nor possible to determine their operational
status or how they fit into the deployment pattern.
The launch sites appear robe complete, however,
and we continue to carry them in Tables 1 and 3.
