REVETMENT MEASUREMENTS, SELECTED SAM INSTALLATIONS, USSR
This report was prepared in response toCIA
requirement C-RR4-82,129, which requested
mensural data on missile revetments at repre-
sentative SA-2 and SA-3 surface-to-air missile
(SAM) sites and at the Tallinn AMM/SAM Launch
Complex. In addition to supplying this informa-
tion, the present report provides revetment
measurements for the Leningrad Northwest
AMM/SAM Complex.' All mensural data is
presented in Figures 1-5. '
The measurements herein should be con-
sidered accurate to within plus-or-minus 5 per-
cent or 5 feet, whichever is greater. Addi-
tionally, the user of this report should take into
consideration several factors which made re-
liable measurement of the revetments difficult:
Many of the revetments are not well defined on
the photography because of poor imagery and
slight tonal contrast;- some of the revetment
walls have no precisely definable corners: many
revetments have irregular shapes which do not
conform to easily measurable geometrical fig-
ures; and several revetments are in intermedi-
ate construction stages and therefore their bases
are obscured and hard to measure.
It should also be noted that generally the
revetments could not be drawn to scale without
slight distortion of the way they appear on pho-
tography, a difficulty caused by differences in
the photo interpreter's and the photogram-
metrist's methods of viewing and interpreting
photographic images. In Figures l-5, the revet-
ments have been drawn as they appear to the
interpreter rather than strictly in accordance
with the measurements derived.
The SA-2 site used for the study was
Vladivostok SAM Site D25-2, which is depicted
in Figure 1. The closest unprotected building

to a launch position at the site is 500 feet from
the position and is at least partially shielded
from it by a missile-hold revetment; the launch
position is 335 feet from the outside edge of the
hold revetment.
The SA-3 site used for the study was Lenin-
grad SAM Site D32-3 (Figure 2). Height meas-
urements could not be obtained because of the
difficulty of determining heights in a heavily -
wooded area such as that around Leningrad. It
would seem logical that the heights of launch
revetments at this site would be similar to
those of revetments at SA-2 sites. The bu, -
ing revetment is quite large and is probably
higher than the launch revetments.
Because of the varying construction stages
of launch positions at the Tallinn complex
as it appears on photography used for this report,
discrepancies are apparent in the widths of the
revetments (Figures 3 and 4). To facilitate
an understanding of the differences, a table

been reprinted from an
report. 2! Four revetments which
most chat`acterize those seen at the complex
are shown in Figure 3; the revetment at the
far left in this graphic occurs most frequently
at the complex.
The distance between launch positions' at
the Leningrad Northwest AMM/SAM Complex
3j (Figure 5) is approximately 185 feet, except
for that between the positions adjacent to revet-
ments numbered 1 and 7 at each of the sites,
which is from 300 to 310 feet. The widths of
2 of the revetments could not be determined, and
neither widths nor lengths for 2 others were
obtainable from the photography 'used. l'he
average height of the revetments is 25 feet,
the heights ranging from
