last revision indicates that the Soviet ICB\1 de-
plovment. prorani continues to be characterized
by change, interruptions,. and shifts in emphasis.
TI-his information provides additional evidence
confirming previous assessmenu as to the eaten:
and'pace of ICB\1 deployment. In addition, sig-
nificant new aspects have b en detected, although
the image- of the current Soviet deployment
program_is not clearly defined.
Significant new aspects identifiable in the
deployment of Soviet IC13\Is include: cad con-
firmation that new construction starts ot"known

only soft, and 4 have silo= only. I he number of

Of the 241 identified launcher, 107 are
considered to be operational, including 31 in a
hard configuration. In addition, we believe that
ly of the 35 confirmed and probable launchers
at the Tyuratam Missile hest'Center, including
6 hard, are operational. Included in the total
launchers at the Th\1I-C are 6 probable single
silos under construction, as \\ell as new soft
launch areas at Complexes A and G.

ZHANGIZ-TOBE COMPLEX
The firs: ne\\ ICB\I complex initiated by
the Soviets since late in was identified at
Zhangiz- 1_ obe, 80 nautical miles (nm) .sou:h-
sou:heas: of Semipalatinsk, on
(Figure 41. hhc complex is rail
served, and contains a complex support facility
(Figure 5) and 2 road-served launch sites lo-
cated approximately 5 nm apart, each containing

a single launch silo under construction (Figure

was probably initiated late in I I with the first
-launch site begun early i Control centers 25X I LZ
for either launcn site cannot bcTaentified. 1 he
prototype fog these sites is almost certainly
included among the new single silos under con-
(see page 10). A\e believe that this complex
heralds the beginning of a new trend in Soyie
ICBM deployment, although \\e cannot identify
the missile system to be employed. It is also
too early to say hoc many launch sites this
type of complex will utimat-ly contain.
OLOVYANNAYA COMPLEX 25X1 D
Another probably new concept in Soviet
single-siTD deployment was identified at the
Olovyannaya 1013\I Complex on
canted on the northeast side of the complex, 25X1 D
which already contains 3 I ype lllA hard-sites
in various stages o .construction, and consist
of b probable singi,.! silos under construction
arranged in a circle approximately 6 nm in-
diameter around - a probable support, control
facility_ (Figure %), This configuration isdesig-
nated Launch Group I).
The probable support/control facility is
located 1-u nm northeast of the complex support
facility (f=igure S). It consists of 5 barracks-
type buildings, 2 small square buildings, and 2
additional structures under construction. There
is ground scarring and track activity in the
vicinity. A\ithin the probable support/control
facility is an area of activity which one member
believes is a probable launch silo. This area
is identified by a dashed line on Figure S. There'
