I. (SAD) A new cruise missile facility, Qinhuangdao Cruise Missile Probable Maintenance Facility
was identified in China his wall-secured facility, in
the mid-to-late stage of construction, is at 40-U2-OON 119-30-OOE, approximately 2.? nautical miles east of
Qinhuangdao SAM~Cruise Missile Depot The new facility is associated with the CSSC-?
land-based coastal defense STYX missile system. T e overall function of the facility is unknown, although
there are definite maintenance and storage capabilities.

construction; a smaller high-bay building (probably drive through); a gable-roofed probable checkout
building; a bunker; four storage buildings (three drive through); a multistory administration building, an
auditorium under construction; eight square unrevetted hardstands aligned in two parallel rows of four;
and additional support buildings and housing. The larger high-bay buildings may be associated with the
maintenance and~ur checkout of CSSC-2 missiles, and the smaller high-bay building and the checkout
building may be used for maintenance and~or checkout of CSSC-2 ground support equipment (GSF). The
eight hardstands may be used for checkout and~or training, using launchers and other GSF alone or in
conjunction with missiles. Two of these hardstands were occupied by launchers.
3. (SAD) CSSC-? equipment within the facility included eight launchers, four probable launchers,
one possihle launcher, 36 missile transporters, four probable crate transporters, 35 associated service
vehicles and trucks, eight Berliet truck prime movers, and two truck-mounted cranes. Two CSA-1 SAM
