Pechory Training Area Northeast is located
approximately 4 kilometers (km) northeast of
Pechory (Figure 1). This installation is probably
associated with Pechorv Army Barracks M
which is located on the northwest edge of
Pechorv.
Pechorv Training Area Northeast covers
approximately 10,000 acres and contains a -
tank /ass ault-gun firing range, a possible flat-
vehicle driver-training area, a tracked-vehicle
driver-training area, a wheeled-vehicle driver-
training area, and a support facility with 8.build-
ings (Figure 2).
This area was covered on ^ KEYHOLE
missions between
Comparative analysis reveals no significant
change in-facilities. The installation is moder-
ately active on all and less
active on winter coverage.
The Riga/Pskov Railroad passes immedi-
ately south of the training area. A railroad
from Tartu to the northwest passes immediately
west of the installation and joins the Riga /Pskov ;
line at Pechory.
The training area is served by secondary
roads from Pechory.
Aircraft Landing Strips
A reported 4,000-foot sod runway south-.
southeast of Pechorv is not discernible; how
ever, this may be due to poor photography.
Area H, a support facility.for the training
area, contains 7 support buildings and a guard-
house. .
Area N11 contains an irregular wheeled-
vehicle driver-training course.
Area N12 contains an irregular wheeled/
tracked-vehicle driver-training course.
Area N13 contains a tracked-vehicle driver-
training course.
Tank/Assault-Gun Firing Range
Area N contains a 2,500-foot range with
three 2,300-foot firing lanes and 3 moving
targets.
Flat-Trajectory Firing Range
Area P is a 3,500-foot firing range. This
is a possible flat-trajectory range for armored
