2. (S/D) REMARKS: THE A-FRAME ENVIRONMENTAL COVERS ARE BEING
RAZED AT ALL FOUR OF THE SS-4 MRRM T GARE MRBM OS--" LAUNCH SITE 3 (GRAPHIC 1 OF 2). THE 25X1

AIRFRAMES ON TRANSPORTERS WERE PARKED NEAR THE SILOS,
SUGGESTING THAT THE SILOS HAD PROBABLY BEEN UNLOADED AT THAT
TIME.
(S/D) THE RELATION OF SHELTER DISMANTLEMENT TO LAUNCH SITE
DEACTIVATION IS UNKNOWN; HOWEVER, THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN SEEN
AT MR/IRBM LAUNCH SITES PRIOR TO DEACTIVATION, POSITIVE
CONFIRMATION OF MR/IRBM (SS-4/5) LAUNCH SITE DEACTIVATION IS
USUALLY CONTINGENT UPON OBVIOUS SIGNS OF ABANDONMENT OR
DISREPAIR, REMOVAL OF SECURITY FENCING FROM THE LAUNCII SITE, OR
THE RAZING OF SECURITY AND SUPPORT BUILDINGS.
(S/D) IN RELATED ACTIVITY, AT ZAGARE MRBM LAUNCH SITE 1.
THE LAUNCH STANDS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN MOVED
OFF THE LAUNCH PADS BUT REMAIN ONSITE (NOT ON GRAPHIC). THE
REMOVAL OF THE EQUIPMENT FROM THE LAUNCH PADS MAY INDICATE THAT
THIS SITE WILL UNDERGO DEACTIVATION IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
(S/D) SINCE JANUARY 1981, MR/IRBM LAUNCH SITE DEACTIVATION
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN OBSERVED AT THE TORVA, LUTSK, KIVERTSY,
KROLEVETS, DOLINA, VSELYUB, MAYKOP, MOLOSKOVITSY, AND GELLI
