Construction Activity
3. (TSR) This report updates three previous NPIC reports.'-' Construction activity observed at
Kuybyshev Experimental Aircraft and Rocket Engine Plant Krasnaya Glinka 2 (Figure 1) between E
resulted in a net increase of approximately 7,335 square meters of
floorspace (Figure 2 and Table 1). Approximately 9,636 square meters of floorspace had been added and
2,301 square meters had been razed. Significant buildings constructed during this period consisted of an
administration building (item 63), a water filtration building (item 61), a vehicle storage building (item
58), and four storage buildings (items 57, 64, 67, and 68). Other construction activity consisted of the
modification of an engine test building (item 43) the addition of an administration/engineering section
(item 29b) to a shop building (item 29), and the enlargement of the administration/engineering building
(item 30a). The older section of this building (item 30) was undergoing refurbishment by the end of 1974.
A shop building (item 26) with floorspace of 2,301 square meters was razed.
4. (TSR) Modification of the engine test building (item 43) consisted of the replacement of two
cylindrical exhaust stacks with two exhaust silencer/ diffuser systems (items 43a and b). Each system
consists of a pair of vertical exhaust towers, a 5-meter-diameter diffuser tube, and an exhaust port. Each
exhaust port added 67 square meters of usable floorspace to the building. Each exhaust tower was
at the top and 25 meters in height. Similar modification has been observed at six other engine
research/production facilities in the Soviet Union.'

5. (TSR) Of 5,430 square meters of floorspace added during this period at Krasnaya Glinka 2,
approximately 1,826 square meters were razed, resulting in a net increase of 3,604 square meters of usable
floorspace. New buildings constructed during this period consisted of a shop building (item 66), a green-
house (item 59), three storage buildings (items 62, 65, and 70), and six support buildings (unnumbered;
Table 1). Other construction activity consisted of the modification of two engine test buildings (items 33
and 44), the addition of three shop sections (items 24a, 28a, and 29a) to their respective buildings, and the
addition of two small annexes to a storage building (item 11). Also, six storage/utility buildings (items 1,
2, 4, 13, 22, and 27)' had been razed, and refurbishment of the administration/engineering building (item
30) was complete.
6. (TSR) Two cylindrical exhaust stacks were added to an engine test building (item 33)
The first stack (item 33d) is 13 meters high with a diam
meters. It is connected to the engine test building by a diffuser tube and is
between
to the south. The second stack (item 33c) is 20 meters high with a diameter of It is connected to
the engine test building by a diffuser tube and is 11 meters south of the test building. A
second engine test building (item 44) was also modified during this period. The modification was similar to
that of the previously discussed engine test building (item 43). However, only one exhaust tower was
constructed, rather than a pair of towers. The new silencer/diffuser system (item 44a) consists of a single
test building, and a
exhaust tower, an exhaust port which adds 96 square meters of floorspace to the engine
diameter diffuser tube.
Plant Enlargement
7. (TSR) Krasnaya Glinka 2 was enlarged on three separate occasions during the reporting period,
resulting in the addition of 6.5 hectares of land area. The plant was enlarged between
when the partially fence-secured northern plant area was secured by a wall (Figure 2). The
second time was between when a fence was constructed to secure
the new water filtration building (item 61). The third time was between when
a wall and fence were built to secure the new underpass which had been created when the new administra-
tion building (item 63) was constructed. The fence in the west-central plant area was then replaced by a
wall which was built approximately 15 meters west of the old fenceline.
8. (TSR) As of Krasnaya Glinka 2 consisted of 70 significant buildings and structures
(three under construction) with a total usable floorspace of 152,063 square meters. Completion of the
three buildings (items 56, 60, and 69) presently under construction will result in approximately 1,664
additional square meters of floorspace, for a total of 153,727 square meters at the plant. A second exhaust
tower (item 44b) was also under construction on that date. This tower is 5 percent larger than the one
constructed at the engine test building.

Production Activity
9. 0 Kuybyshev Experimental Aircraft and Rocket Engine Plant Krasnaya Glinka 2 is a
major Soviet aircraft engine research and development (R&D) facility. It has been identified as the
location of the design bureau of N, D. Kuznetsov and as a prototype production plant for both turboprop
and jet engines.' The large size of some of the engine test cells suggests that Krasnaya Glinka 2 may also
be involved in the design of rocket engines,' although no photographic evidence of such activity has been
obtained. Observations of aircraft engine shipping containers at the plant, the best indicator of plant
activity, were rare during the reporting period. However, at least 12 NK-8 (the engine for the TU-154
CARELESS and the IL-62 CLASSIC) containers were observed on The NK-8 engine is
produced at Kuybyshev Aircraft Engine Plant 24 which is 7 nautical miles south-
southeast, The NK-12mv (engine for TU-95 BEAR, TU-114 CLEAT, and AN-22 COCK) and the NK-144
(engine for BACKFIRE and TU-144 CHARGER) are also produced at Plant 24.5 It is likely that Kras-
naya Glinka 2 is involved in the testing/modification of these engines as well as of the NK-8.
