UPGRADING OF FACILITIES
KRASNYY VELIKAN NORTH AIRFIELD, USSR (SWN)
1. SIGNIFICANCE: MAJOR FACILITY UPGRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF
TYPE C HARDENED AIRCRAFT SHELTERS IS UNDERWAY AT KRASNYY
VELIKAN AIRFIELD NEAR THE SINO-SOVIET BORDER. (SWN)
2. REMARKS: KRASNYY VELIKAN NORTH AIRFIELD (GRAPHIC 1), 26
NAUTICAL MILES NORTHEAST OF THE USSR-CHINA-MONGOLIA BORDER,
HAS BEEN UNDERGOING EXTENSIVE UPGRADING AND CONSTRUCTION SINCE
THE AIRFIELD CONSISTED OF A
2,504- BY 44-METER ENE/WSW, OPERATIONAL CONCRETE RUNWAY, A
PARALLEL CONCRETE TAXIWAY, TWO PARKING APRONS, TWO MAIN
DISPERSAL TAXIWAYS, ONE DISPERSAL AREA WITH EIGHT HARDENED
AIRCRAFT SHELTERS, AND CLEARINGS FOR TWO PROBABLE DISPERSAL
AREAS. TWO PROBABLE SUPPORT AREAS WERE SOUTH OF THE RUNWAY.
APPROXIMATELY 350 ARCH-ROOFED SECTIONS AND APPROXIMATELY 325
STACKS OF CONCRETE PAVING BLOCKS WERE AT A CONSTRUCTION
SUPPORT CAMP THREE NAUTICAL MILES SOUTH OF THE AIRFIELD (NOT
ON GRAPHICS). (SWN)
THE SHELTERS (GRAPHIC 2) ARE TYPE C AIRCRAFT SHELTERS WHICH
MEASURE APPROXIMATELY 30 METERS LONG BY 16 METERS WIDE.
CONSTRUCTION PATTERNS AND GROUND SCARRING INDICATE THAT
BETWEEN 24 AND 36 WILL BE BUILT. (SWN)
ANALYST'S COMMENTS -- TYPE C SHELTERS HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED
WITH BREWER, FOXBAT, AND FENCER AIRCRAFT. THESE SHELTERS ARE
ALSO OF SUFFICIENT SIZE TO ACCOMMODATE NEWER GENERATION
AIRCRAFT SUCH AS FOXHOUND A, FLANKER A, AND FULCRUM A. SINCE
KRASNYY VELIKAN NORTH IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO
1985, ONE OR MORE OF THESE TYPES OF AIRCRAFT COULD BE DEPLOYED
HERE WHEN CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED. (SWN)
