SUMMARY
1. (S/D) This report updates information in NPIC report on SS-20 mobile IRBM bases 25X1
in the USSR.' This report also includes a synopsis of significant mobile missile activity seen at two
offensive MTCs; three missile-related research, development, and production facilities; and several com-
mand and control facilities (Figure 1).
2. (S/D) Significant activity during the reporting period included the following:
a. the identification of a new, scratch-built mobile base at Novosibirsk;
b. the identification of support rings on an empty SS-20 TEL at Verkhnyaya Saida RTP;
c. the identification of a new mobile base at Krolevets;
d. the identification of probable SS-20-associated camouflaged vehicles at Lutsk MRBM Launch Site
1;
e. SS-20 field-training exercises at three complexes;
f. the continuation of priority snow removal at SS-16 LRPs at Plesetsk; and
g. several command-and-control developments.
3. (U) The reporting period extends from A location 25X1
DISCUSSION
Deployed Complexes
4. (S/D) As of 32 of the 40 mobile bases were in the late stages of construction or
complete and were assessed to be capable of maintaining an operational unit (Table 1). Based on past
construction practices, the 40 bases, including the remote site at Drovyanaya, will eventually contain a
total of 363 SBGs to house SS-20 missiles on launchers. Six bases are in the eastern section of Siberia, six
are in the western section of Siberia, ten are in the central USSR, and 18 are in the western section of the
USSR.*
5. (S/D) Drovyanaya Mobile IRBM Base 4. On ~ an SS-20 TEL with an SS-20 training 25X1
canister was in the operations area in front of a former SS-7 MRB. This was the first time that SS-20-related
equipment has been observed at this mobile IRBM base.
6. (TSR) SS-20 field-training exercises in the Drovyanaya Complex were as follows:

7. (S/D) Novosibirsk Mobile IRBM Base 6. A new SS-20 base, designated Novosibirsk Mobile IRBM
Base 6 (Figure 2), was identified under construction in January 1982. This new base is the 40th base
identified in the Soviet Union to date and the sixth at Novosibirsk. The base is a scratch-built facility,
approximately 1 nm southeast of the Novosibirsk IRBM RTP , at 55-15-30N 083-03-45E. The
Novosibirsk Complex supports five operational SS-20 bases, all of which were constructed at dismantled
SS-7 ICBM launch sites.
8. (S/D) Buildings were first observed under construction on however, securit
fences were observed under construction on No activity was observed on
ns for nine SBGs, three five- ay garages, and two 10-bay garages were present on
9. (S/D) Novosibirsk IRBM RTP. On an SS-20 TEL with training canister was on a
road approximately 1 nm north of the RTP. On an object, approximately in height,
was in front and to the right of the parked TEL. The object's height and relative position suggest that the
object might have been an AAD.
10. (S/D) SS-20 field-training exercises in the Novosibirsk Complex were as follows:

in front of the high two-bay building in the NPHF, and an empty SS-20 TEL was at the RTP, suggesting that
missile guidance/.calibration had been conducted. The empty TEL had three support rings for securing
the SS-20 missile canister on the TEL (Figure 3). This was the first observation of SS-20 TEL imprints at
Verkhnyaya Salda NPHF, and the first time support rings have been observed on an empty SS-20 TEL.
12. (S/D) Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 1. On 0 a probable SS-20 TEL with missile canister was
in the operations area in front of a former SS-7 MRB. Also, several other SS-20-associated vehicles were in
the operations area.

(Figure 4), was under construction on at Krolevets IRBM Launch Site 1 Nine 225X1
SBGs and one single-bay, temporary building were in the former SS-5 launch area. One SBG and the
temporary building were in tandem on a single access ramp, with the temporary building apparently
inaccessible to vehicles.
15. (S/D) By the temporary building had been dismantled, and at least three additional 25X1
temporary buildings that had been constructed in tandem with three SBGs appeared to have been
dismantled. In addition to the nine SBGs, three four-bay garages were in the early stages of construction.
No evidence of mobile base construction was observed on coverage of Launch Site 1 on Q 25X1
Krolevets Mobile IRBM Base 1 was the second mobile IRBM base in the Romny SSM Division of the
Vinnitsa SRF Army.

four of the five mobile ICBM-associated support facilities were imaged during this reporting period.
20. (TSR) All 42 LRPs were observed during the reporting period (Table 2). Activity included snow
removal operations at the four mobile ICBM-associated bases, probable AADs mounted in many of the
LRPs, and the clearing of snow to provide a stable base for TEL leveling jacks at some LRPs. In addition,
MSVs were identified at two of the four mobile ICBM bases during December.
21. (TSR) MOB 1. All 12 LRPs at this base were observed. Clearings for or imprints from TEL leveling
jacks at LRPs were identified five times. Vehicles and personnel were in the driver training area during
March. In addition, on a long, rectangular, canvas-covered framework was among the trees at
the driver training area. The framework was not present on
22. (S/D) MOB 2. All 12 LRPs at this base were observed. Most of the LRPs had areas cleared for
TELs, and probable AADs were periodically seen in the LRPs.
23. (TSR) LTS 5. All 12 LRPs at this base were observed, and probable AADs were periodically seen in
the LRPs. Clearings for or imprints from TEL leveling jacks were identified at two of the L

and In addition, two probable MSVs, were observed on
respectively.
24. (S/D) LTS 6. All six LRPs at this base were observed. All LRPs had been cleared of snow, and four
LRPs had probable AADs in them. On a probableMSV was outside the support
area.
25. (S/D) Missile Handling Facility Construction in support of the anticipated SS-16
follow-on continued. If the rate of construction continues, the new buildings/structures could be com-
pleted before the third quarter of 1982.
26. (S/D) LTS 21 No significant activity was observed. The canvas has not been
placed on the sliding-roof framework on the extension of the east pad.
Bryansk Guided Missile Support Equipment Plant 11
27. (S/D) Components for at least 23 to 24 garages were fabricated, and components for at least 12
to 13 garages were shipped from the plant (Table 3). Although these figures suggest a reduced level of
production, it should be noted that usable imagery was obtained only two times during the period
because of cloud cover. This limited access precluded an adequate sampling rate for assessing compo-
nent production levels with any degree of confidence.
SS-20 Command and Control
28. (S/D) Significant command-and-control developments observed during the reporting period
(Table 4) included the following: the construction of a new regimental headquarters at Slonim Mobile

LRPs, and the clearing of snow to provide a stable base for TEL leveling jacks at some LRPs. In addition,
MSVs were identified at two of the four mobile ICBM bases during December.
21. (TSR) MOB 1. All 12 LRPs at this base were observed. Clearings for or imprints from TEL leveling
jacks at LRPs were identified five times. Vehicles and personnel were in the driver training area during
March. In addition, on a long, rectangular, canvas-covered framework was among the trees at
the driver training area. The framework was not present on
22. (S/D) MOB 2. All 12 LRPs at this base were observed. Most of the LRPs had areas cleared for
TELs, and probable AADs were periodically seen in the LRPs.
23. (TSR) LTS 5. All 12 LRPs at this base were observed, and probable AADs were periodically seen in
the LRPs. Clearings for or imprints from TEL leveling jacks were identified at two of the L
and one set of clearings/imprints were identified in the calibration-associated area on
and In addition, two probable MSVs, were observed on
respectively.
24. (S/D) LTS 6. All six LRPs at this base were observed. All LRPs had been cleared of snow, and four
LRPs had probable AADs in them. On a probableMSV was outside the support
area.
25. (S/D) Missile Handling Facility Construction in support of the anticipated SS-16
follow-on continued. If the rate of construction continues, the new buildings/structures could be com-
pleted before the third quarter of 1982.
26. (S/D) LTS 21 No significant activity was observed. The canvas has not been
placed on the sliding-roof framework on the extension of the east pad.
Bryansk Guided Missile Support Equipment Plant 11
27. (S/D) Components for at least 23 to 24 garages were fabricated, and components for at least 12
to 13 garages were shipped from the plant (Table 3). Although these figures suggest a reduced level of
production, it should be noted that usable imagery was obtained only two times during the period
because of cloud cover. This limited access precluded an adequate sampling rate for assessing compo-
nent production levels with any degree of confidence.
SS-20 Command and Control
28. (S/D) Significant command-and-control developments observed during the reporting period
(Table 4) included the following: the construction of a new regimental headquarters at Slonim Mobile
IRBM Base 1 and Dyatlovo Mobile IRBM Base 1; the dismantlement of the Slonim MRBM Regimental
Headquarters Radio Receiver/Bunker/Hard new construction at Krolevets IRBM Regi-
mental Headquarters Radio Receiver/Bunke and Gresk MRBM Regimental Headquarters
Radio Communications Transmitter Station ; considerable progress on the previously
reported large building under construction near the Mozyr MRBM Division Command Post/Bunker (BE
the construction of two lattice towers at Novosibirsk Mobile IRBM Base 1; the construction

identification of a KY-EL-06 antenna at Novosibirsk Mobile IRBM Base 4; the construction of one tower-
mounted TWIN EAR antenna and the completion of the three lattice towers previously reported under
construction at Verkhnyaya Selda ICBM Headquarters Receiver/Bunker/Hard and the
construction of two tower-mounted TWIN EAR antennas and three lattice towers at Yurya SSM Head-
quarters Radio Communications Receiver Station in addition, the previously reported,
tower-mounted TWIN EAR antennas at Postavy IR/MRBM Division Headquarters Radio Receiver/Bunk-
er/Hard were measured for the first time.
29. (S/D) The new regimental headquarters at Slonim Mobile IRBM Base 1 (Figure 6) is separately
secured, approximately 0.5 nm north of the older existing regimental headquarters (Slonim MRBM
Regimental Command Post/Bunker, and consists of a 25- by 16- by 12-meter, three-story,
rectangular, headquarters/administration building with an unidentified probable antenna array on the
roof; an 11-bay vehicle storage building; two horizontal dipole antennas, oriented 60/240 degrees toward
Moscow; and two steel lattice towers, probably supporting UHF/VHF antennas. This headquarters/ad-
ministration building and another identical building at Dyatlovo Mobile IRBM Base 1 represent a depar-
ture from the usual deployment of either single-story, C-shaped or two-story, irregularly shaped head-
quarters/administration buildings at regiment-level, SS-20 command-and-control facilities. The construc-
tion of the new regimental headquarters began in the summer of 1981 and had been completed by
January 1982. It is presumed that the older existing regimental headquarters has been or will soon be
phased out of operation as a command post.
30. (S/D) At Dyatlovo Mobile IRBM Base 1, a new regimental headquarters, identical to the one at
25X1
25X1
25X1
25X1
25X1
25X1
Slonim, was constructed between August 1980 and January 1982. On coverage of0 two proba- 25X1
ble SS-20 MSVs in front of the 11-bay garage were the first pieces of operational SS-20 equipment
observed at this base. On the same coverage, one of two steel lattice towers at this facility appeared to
have a KY-EL-06 antenna atop it. A similar antenna has been identified at two other deployed mobile
missile bases, Lida Mobile IRBM Base 1 and Novosibirsk Mobile IRBM Base 4.
31. (S/D) The Slonim MRBM Regimental Headquarters Radio Receiver/Bunker/Hard, which is
adjacent to Slonim Mobile IRBM Base 1, has apparently been dismantled for several months. A review of
imagery indicates that in July 1981 the antenna field had been dismantled, significant tree-clearing activity
had occurred, and a new helicopter pad had been constructed on the facility's only hardened antenna.
The removed antennas consist of two horizontal dipoles, oriented toward Moscow/Smo- 25X1
lensk; two omnidirectional quadrant antennas; and two masts, probably supporting UHF/VHF antennas.
The dismantling or downgrading of old regimental receivers is typical when SS-20 site conversion occurs.
32. (S/D) At the Krolevets IRBM Regimental Headquarters Radio Receiver/Bunker, new construc-
tion began between July 1981 and January 1982. By February 1982 (Figure 7), six long, rectangular,
probable barracks were in various stages of construction in the antenna field, probably indicating the
abandonment of the facility's communications function. In addition, numerous vehicle tracks and
scattered heavy equipment at this facility indicated that the antenna feedlines, which are low to the
ground, must have been removed. When operational, this facility had the capability for radio
communications with Moscow, Romny, and other undetermined correspondents.
33. (S/D) The entire antenna field at the Gresk MRBM Regimental Headquarters Radio Communi-
cations Transmitter Station was taken down and rebuilt between July 1979 and March 1982. The field
presently consists of'two double rhombic antennas, oriented northeast; four horizontal dipoles, oriented
north/south and northeast/southwest; and a mast, probably supporting UHF/VHF antennas. Additional
antennas may be present. The antenna field previously consisted of three horizontal dipoles and two
quadrant antennas. Two of the removed horizontal dipole antennas were oriented toward 25X1
Smolensk, and the other removed horizontal dipole was oriented toward Lida. The 25X1
removed quadrant antennas had an omnidirectional communications capability.

first observed on imagery of (Figure 9). 25X1
40. (S/D) Imagery of the Postavy IR/MRBM Division Headquarters Radio Receiver/Bunker/Hard on
was of sufficient quality to enable the first mensuration of the three reviousI reported sets of 25X1
tower-mounted TWIN EAR antennas. One TWIN EAR antenna set was oriented toward Postavy 25X1
regiment, and one antenna in the third set was oriented toward Postavy Mobile IRBM Base 1, 25X1
while its companion antenna was oriented toward the Polotsk MRBM regiment. However, no 25X1
TWIN EAR antennas were identified at the possible correspondents. The towers supporting these TWIN
EAR antennas are 48 meters high.
