1. (TSR) This report describes activity observed at Kuybyshev Missile and Aircraft Components
Plant 207 in the USSR from the reporting period for this report.
It also describes a probable explosives-forming facility which is associated with the components plant. The
report updates information contained in the previous NPIC report on this plant, dated
January 1971.
2. (TSR) Rocket motor casings for various missile propulsion systems, including the SS-N-7 booster
and sustainer and probably the SA-5 booster, are produced at Kuybyshev Missile and Aircraft Compo-
nents Plant 207. Although these components have not been identified on imagery, shipping crates for the
motor casings have been identified on imagery of the plant.
3. (TSR) Construction activity was minimal during the reporting period, except for the completion
of a fabrication/ assembly building and an associated administration/engineering building. Future plant
expansion is evidenced by the construction of a security wall adjacent to the eastern wall of the plant.
4. (U) This report includes a location map, seven annotated photographs, and two tables.
5. (TSR) Kuybyshev Missile and Aircraft Components Plant 207 (Figures 1 and 2 and Table 1) is
approximately 7 nautical miles north-northeast of the center of Kuybyshev. The plant is in the northern-
most part of the city's large, built-up area. It is connected by a major roadway to the center of the city and
is served by a major rail line. Kuybyshev Plant 207 is wall and fence secured with three personnel
entrances and one rail line entrance.

6. ~ Since 1961, components for surface-to-surface and surface-to-air naval missile systems 25X1
have been produced at Kuybyshev 207.' Subsequently, the plant has also been involved in the production
of components for SAMs, AAMs, and several aircraft.2-5 25X1
5 Like most 25X1
military production plants in the Soviet Union, however, some civilian products are produced at
Kuybyshev 207.

BASIC DESCRIPTION
Production
8. C 'mponent parts for a large
number of missile tnd aircraft systems are pro-
duced at Kuybyshev 207, This is evidenced by the
large variety of relat .ely small-sized crates observed
at the plant. Very feu component parts are seen at the
plant, and none havr been identified.

the more numerous
majority of these cr.
and are !at roofed
proximately 20 different crates
ng numbers at the crate shops
of the plant (Figure 3). The
nguishing features of some of
rates are listed in Table 2. The
tes are less than 5 meters long
The size of the crate and the
configuration of its top are the only distinguishing
features. The crates are seen almost exclusively in
the crate shops and transshipment areas of the
plant. Most of the crates have not been identified
with particular missile or aircraft systems. Since
the plant has a motor casing production capabil-
ity. ' many of the crates may be shipping containers
for rocket motor casings, either metal or filament
uound. Additionally, similar items-such as can
isters, storage tanks, or wing and ventral fuel tanks
for aircraft-may be produced at the plant,
10. Motor casings for the SS-N-2,
SS-N-3 and SS-N-7 naval cruise missiles, the SA-
N-3, ' the SA-2= and the AA-2, were produced at
Kuybyshev 207 in the mid-to-late 1960s. Since
1910, parts-possibly for SL'-17 aircraft and M1-24
helicopters,' aid motor casings for article 409, a
solid propellant air-launched missile`-have been

produced at the plant. Work on products noted
during the late 1960s was evidently continuing. The
wide variety of components in production at Kuy-
byshev 207 indicates that, unlike many missile and
aircraft components plants, the plant is associated
with various missile and aircraft designers.
11. Crates for the SS-N-7 naval cru-
ise missile booster and sustainer motor casings have
been identified at Kuybyshev 207. A
crate may contain casings for the
twin boosters which the SS-N-7 missile employs.
The top of this crate is divided lengthwise by a
light-toned line along the center, suggesting that
two compartments are inside the crate. A C
crate, which may
contain the SS-N-7 sustainer motor casing, has also
been identified. This crate is dark toned and ap-
pears to have a light-toned outline. Crates similar
in size and configuration to these two crates have
been observed at SS-N-7 production and deploy-
ment areas.' The number of these crates seen at
Kuybyshev 207 is consistent with the annual prod-
uction rate established for the SS-N-7 missile.
12. (TSR) One of the largest and most num-
erous of the crates at Kuybyshev 207 is
The top of the crate is
divided into four nearly square sections. This crate
has been seen throughout the reporting period and
is probably for the SA-5 missile booster casing.
The crates at Kuybyshev 207 are similar in size and
configuration to SA-5 booster crates observed at
Leningrad Guided Missile Production Plant 458
Casings produced at Kuybyshev
207 are most likely shipped to a solid motor
production facility or an explosives-loading facility
to be filled, then shipped to a final assembly plant.
Leningrad 458 is a final assembly facility for the
SA-5 missile. Between 40 and 70 probable SA-5
booster motor casing crates are seen at Kuybyshev
207.
13. (TSR) A new
has been seen since May
type of crate,
1979 (Figure 4). The crate is light toned and has
five bands around its width. It is the only crate
which is produced at a new crate production area
at the southern end of the plant where an arch-
roofed building has been constructed. The presence
of the new crates indicates that a new component,
which is as yet unidentified, is being produced at
the plant.
14. (TSR) Probable handling dollies or crate
bases for shipping motors, motor casings, or mis-
siles have been seen at the plant in the transship-
ment areas since August 1973 (Figure 5). The large
number observed indicates that they are produced
at Kuybyshev 207. The dollies bases are
long overall and A support point is
from each end of the dolly/base.- The
dollies/bases do not appear to be associated with
any crate at the plant. Fluctuations in the number
of these dollies/bases and their position in the
transshipment facilities suggest that they are
shipped out in bulk without being mated with a
crate at this plant.
15. (TSR) Assorted pieces of equipment have
been seen throughout the plant. A probable han-
dling device (Figure 5) was seen near a rail line in
the plant in May 1977. The unique configuration of
the device suggests that it serves a special purpose.
Similar equipment was seen at Orenburg Guided
Missile Plant 47 in April 1975 and
at Perm Munitions and Chemical Combine K.

An unidentified plug-shaped ob-
diameter raised-center section, is usually seen at
Kuybyshev 207. The overall height of the object is
and it has been observed in several
areas of the plant.

age tank has been at the plant since October 1976.

diameter. It has been seen only in the south-central
portion of the plant in the vicinity of the horizon-
tal tank storage area. The tank may eventually be
installed in this area but apparently has not been
used for almost three years.
18. (TSR) Various metallic objects have been
observed in a shop area on the east side of the
plant (Figure 6). In May 1977, several irregularly
tapered conical and funnel-shaped objects were in
this area. The funnel-shaped objects have been seen
25X1
25X1
consistently since 1977. The objects are all 25X1
meters in length. They are probably used in a
production process at the plant. Assorted rings and
possible templates were also observed in this area.
Construction 25X1
19. (TSR) A total of 28,326 square meters of
floorspace (Table 1) was added to the plant during
this reporting period, and 1,835 square meters of
floorspace were razed for a current overall floor-
space total of 147,729 square meters. The floor-
space which was razed had been used for trans-
shipping activities.
20. (TSR) A new fabrication/assembly 25X1
building (item 60, Figure 2) and an associated
administration/engineering building (item 61) were
completed during this period. The fabrication/as-
sembly building was first seen under construction
in August 1969 and appeared to be complete in
August 1973. The building contains 10,615 square
meters of production floorspace. It is one of the
smaller of the seven fabrication/assembly buildings
at the plant which range in size from 6,404 square
meters to 17,210 square meters of floorspace. A
new forced-draft cooling tower, a small support
building (item 59), and a probable support building
under construction are near the new fabrication/-
assembly building. 25X1
21. (TSR) The associated administration/en- 25X1
gineering building was complete by December 25X1
1976. It contains 6,272 square meters of floorspace
and is the only building in the plant with a large
amount of engineering space closely associated
with a production building. The fabrication/as-

sembly building and the administration/engineer-
ing building constituted the major construction
during this nine-year period. Footings have been
poured in the northern part of the plant for a
probable new shop/assembly building.
22. (TSR) Future plant expansion is evi-
denced by the construction of a security wall
around an area adjacent to the eastern wall of the
plant. When the wall is complete, it will enclose an
area of 19 acres, thereby increasing the area of the
plant by approximately 15 percent. The wall, which
currently separates this area from the plant, will
probably be removed either upon completion of
the new security wall or upon completion of
construction within the area. Expansion of this
magnitude indicates that production of additional
components will occur at the plant.
23. (TSR) A possible waste treatment or
liquids processing and storage facility (item 57,
Figure 2) is the only facility presently in the newly
secured area described in paragraph 22. The facil-
ity consists of a probable processing building, two
buried cylindrical tanks, and a ventilated under-
ground storage or equipment area. The probable
processing building is connected by aboveground
pipelines and underground feedlines or cables to
the steamplant at Kuybyshev 207.
24. (TSR) Several services were expanded
during the reporting period. An electrical substa-
tion, occupying 1.6 acres of land at the northern-
most end of the plant, appeared to be operational
by February 1975. This new substation probably
serves the plant exclusively, while the large substa-
tion adjacent to the south-central part of the plant
supplies power both to the plant and to the
surrounding Kuybyshev area. Rail lines within the
plant were extended and a traveling gantry crane
was erected in the main transshipment area to
facilitate increased materials handling and trans-
shipping activities. Steamlines were installed to
supply the new fabrication/assembly building, and
footings have been poured to support steamlines
which will serve the probable shop/assembly build-
ing under construction.
Probable Explosives-Forming Facility
25. ~ A probable explosives-forming 25X1
facility (Figure 7) is just south of the main plant
area of Kuybyshev 207. This facility has remained
virtually unchanged over the past 12 years. It is
connected by road to the plant. Because crates
identical to those produced at the plant have been
seen at this facility, it is evidently associated with
Kuybyshev 207. Dome end caps for motor casings
produced at the plant may be formed at this
facility.
26. (TSR) The facility is wall and fence
secured and occupies approximately 7 acres of
land. It consists of a guardhouse, four one-story
support buildings, two earth-mounded buildings,
and a probable explosives-forming pit area (Figure
8). The probable explosives-forming pit area is
similar to explosives-forming pit areas at Kazan
Missile Propulsion Research and Development Fa-
cility and Voronezh Rocket En- 25X1
gine Test Facility 25X1
27. (TSR) The pit area at Kuybyshev is
partially wall secured and contains a probable
control building, a small support building, a prob-
able explosives-forming pit, overhead conduits,
and a crane boom over the pit. The pit is
meters in inner diameter and in outer
diameter. A cover, which ap-
pears to be hinged to the outer rim of the pit, is
usually seen open. Very little activity has been
observed around the pit, and no domes or forms
have been identified.
