This section of the report addresses activi- ty related to the production, development, and deployment of mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles (Figure 2). Discussion covers the first prob- able launch of an SS-X-25 from a type C single-bay garage and possible final testing prior to deploy- ment; further preparation and testing of the SS-X- 24, including probable rail-TEL launches and iden- tification of a C3-related railcar; a new probable driver/dispersal training area (DDTA) near the Ple- setsk Complex DDTA with silo-based SS-X-24 equipment present; and an update of construction at the ICBM-associated solid motor production fa- cilities at Kamensk-Shakhtinskiy and Pavlograd. (S/WN) Development and Testing 3. Mobile Missile-Associated Facilities. All tour mobile ICBM bases at Plesetsk (MOB 1, MOB 2, 1 IS 5, and LTS 6; Figure 3) and all 42 launch reference positions (LRPs) were observed at least once. l he bases continue to be occupied as evi- denced by the clearing of snow during winter months arid by the occasional observation of per- sonnel, vehicle tracks, and facility maintenance. No mobile missile-associated vehicles were identi- tied at any of the bases. In addition, the three driver/dispersal training areas-the DDTA near MOB 1, the newly identified DDTA, and the com- plex DD I A near LTS 16-were imaged. (S/WN) 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 Z0A'I 25X1 25X1 for the 1984-1985 winter was observed on Rectangular areas were cleared in front of three launch reference positions, indicating a con- tinued interest by the Soviets in maintaining access to the launch reference positions. (S/WN) 5. SS-X-25 Activity. Four SS-X-25 ICBMs were launched during the reporting period for a total of ten tests (nine successful) during 1984 and a total of 15 tests (13 successful) since the flight test program began in February 1983 (Table 1). No prelaunch or postlaunch imagery of activity related to the unsuccessful (DEFSMAC S/DQ/893-84 [S]) flight test was acquired; there- fore, its launch point and launch mode cannot be determined from imagery. The launch on (DEFSMAC S/DQ/1036-84 [S]) was a suc- cess and may have been the first from the type C single-bay garage at Plesetsk ICBM Launch Test Site (LTS) 23. On long probable missile support van (MSV) draped with winter camouflage material was in front of the single-bay garage and cable connected to it. This was the first identification of any missile support equipment for the SS-X-25 at Plesetsk. Much of the snow atop the forward section of the single-bay garage was melted, which suggests that a trans- porter-erector-launcher (TEL) may have been in- side. A MAZ-543 cargo truck carrying a possible shroud/training device and two support vehicles were on the silo apron turnaround at collocated LTS 24. Similar activity had been previously ob- served at LTS 24 during March 1984. (S/WN) 6. On DEFSMAC reported the launch of two SS-X-25s from Plesetsk. Both missiles flew to a broad-ocean impact area (DEFSMAC S/DQ/1079-84 [S] and S/DQ/1080-84 [S]). This was the first dual launch of the SS-X-25 and the first test of the missile to a broad-ocean impact area. Testing of an ICBM system to the area previ- ously has been one of the last milestones prior to initial deployment of the missile system.

Both silo doors were open, no camou- flaged equipment was present, and no evidence of a launch (burnmarks, blast effects, or pockmarks in the snow) was identified at either LTS. However, at LTS 23, snow was cleared/melted in front of the type C single-bay garage in about the same posi- tion the missile support van had occupied on E: before the launch. This suggests that the missile tested from LTS 23 was probably launched from a transporter-ereclor- launcher (TEL) within the single-bay garage. At ILTS 24, snow was cleared/melted in about the same position the camouflaged equipment had occu- pied on before the launch on that date. This suggests that the missile tested from LTS 24 was launched from a TEL on the silo apron. It should be noted that because of effective camou- flage, concealment, and deception (CC&D) prac- tices at Plesetsk, the TEL and missile canister for the SS-X-25 still have not been identified. (TSR) four missile support vans (MSVs)-two MSVs and two MSVs-were within the former warhead fragmen- tation test area at LTS 16. All four MSVs were covered with winter camouflage material. This was the first observation of mobile missile-associated equipment at LTS 16 since April 1974 when two 8. Missile Handling Facility. Construction in the modified SS-16/SS-X-25 receiving, inspection, and checkout (RIC) area in support of the SS-X-25 RCA-01/0001/85 Top Secret RUFF continued. The roof has been installed on the first type C single-bay garage, and it appears to be externally complete. Only the footings for the sec- ond type C single-bay garage have been installed. These garages will probably be used for training personnel to handle SS-X-25 TELs and support equipment. Wall panels and roof sections also have been installed on the east bay of the new probable clerestory building under construction in the northwest section of the facility. No payload- associated crates were identified during this re- porting period. (S/WN) 9. New Probable Driver/Dispersal Training Area. A new probable driver/dispersal training area (DDTA) was identified during the reporting period. The new DDTA was constructed between August 1983 and September 1984 and is approxi- mately 4.5 nm northeast of Plesetsk Complex DDTA. Access to this new area is via an improved road that extends from 62-50-25N 040-42-20E to 62-48-30N 040-48-50E, a distance of approximate- ly 5 nm. The improved road ends in a loop turn- around, and two graded loops and a partially com- pleted loop extend from the main road. The center graded loop has been widened and contains three drive-in revetments (one for a large vehicle), one large drive-through revetment, and a rectangular structure just northwest of the revetments. On an SS-X-24 silo loader with prime mover and a prime mover for an SS-X-24 missile canister transporter were in the new DDTA. This was the first identification of silo-based SS-X-24 equipment participating in dispersal training activi- ties. The new probable DDTA will probably be used for training silo-based SS-X-24 crews and also could support road-mobile SS-X-25 training. (S/WN) 10. SS-X-24-Associated Activity. Four suc- cessful SS-X-24 launches occurred during the re- porting period, all from unknown locations and launch modes (Table 2). A total of 10 SS-X-24s were launched in 1984: two from silos, four proba- bly from a rail-mobile launcher, and four from unknown locations and launch modes. Seventeen SS-X-24s have been launched since the flight test Drop-ram began in October 1982. The launches during the reporting period occurred on MAC S/DQ/950-84 [S], S/DQ/994-84 [S], S/DQ/1096-84 [S], and S/DQ/1149-84 [S] respec- tively). 11. Rail-Mobile SS-X-24-Associated Activity. Construction of the fourth probable rail-mobile launch test position in the rail-mobile SS-X-24 launch test facility at LTS 28 was completed during the reporting period. Prefabricated sections of track and possible azimuth alignment equipment were installed during September and October. Both of the spurs that straddle the buried rail- mobile launch control building now appear to be the same length, and each spur now has two launch test positions. 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 2.5X1 25X1 25X1 75x1 25X1 25X1 2.5X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/10/19: CIA-RDP85TOO84OR000101130001-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/10/19: CIA-RDP85TOO84OR000101130001-2 Top Secret RUFF 12. Analysis of a railcar at the rail-mobile launch test facility at LTS 28 and at the rail-mobile missile receiving and checkout area (MRACA) at the missile handling facility indicates that it is a probable C3 railcar, probably related to the rail- mobile SS-X-24 (Figure 4). The probable C3 railcar is about 24 meters long, 3 meters wide, and has 11 roof vents (10 in a row along one side and one on the opposite side). The railcar is identifiable by an approximately 3 meters square recessed area on the roof at one end of the railcar. A probable retractable antenna mast/pedestal extends from a light-toned circular object centered in the re- cessed area. This railcar has been at the rangehead since at least early 1984 and has been in the rail- mobile launch test facility at LTS 28 before rail- mobile SS-X-24 launches and in the rail-mobile 13. Rail-Mobile SS-X-24 Missile Receiving and Checkout Area. Construction in this area con- tinued. Significant observations and activity during the reporting period included the probable expan- sion of the facility; the completion of the rail line to the four-bay interim missile storage building; the first identification of a probable 24-meter-long rail- car in front of the four-bay interim missile storage building; the completion of a probable support building just north of the new, large rail-served building; the completion of a 96-meter-long rail-in shed (previously reported as 102 meters long) near the new building; and the identification of a proba- ble C3-related railcar on the spurs near the missile receiving and checkout building during periods between rail-mobile SS-X-24 launches. (TSR) 14. The rail-mobile missile receiving and checkout area has probabl been undergoing ex- pansion since August. By a new, probably rail-served, high-bay building (over 70 meters long) was in the early stages of construction approximately 200 meters southeast of the rail- mobile missile receiving and checkout area. A rail spur (which probably will be concealed by a 160- meter-long, rail-through shed) was constructed from the midpoint of the rail-mobile missile receiv- ing and checkout area to the southeast section of the new area that contains the probable high-bay building. Three other rail spurs are currently under construction in this new area. One or two will extend through the new building, and at least one will extend along the south side of the new build- ing. All three spurs will probably join and termi- nate in a single rail spur just past the probable 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 RCA-0 1/0001/85 Top Secret RUFF 25X1 25X1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/10/19: CIA-RDP85TOO84OR000101130001-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/10/19: CIA-RDP85TOO84OR000101130001-2 Top Secret RUFF Table 2.

Because of the new probable rail-spur pattern, this construction probably repre- sents an expansion of the existing rail-mobile mis- sile receiving and checkout area and not a new missile receiving and checkout area. It cannot be determined whether the expansion of the rail-mo- bile missile receiving and checkout area is in sup- port of crew training for the rail-mobile SS-X-24 or another missile system. (S/WN) 15. SS-13 Receiving, Inspection and Checkout Area. Construction of the new rail-served area north of the SS-13 receiving, inspection, and checkout area continued. By the end of the report- ing period, the roofs for the high-bay and the low- bay sections of the building were being installed, and rail service through the SS-13 area was com- pleted. The function of this area has not been determined, but it probably is not being construct- ed to support SS-13 operations. Because of loca- tion, this rail-served structure does not appear to be related to the new, probably rail-served, high- bay building. (S/WN) 16. Rail Line Construction at Plesetsk. No new construction was observed at this rail line, and the terminus of the extension remains about 0.25 nm past LTS 28. (S/WN) 17. Launch Control Facility B. No new rail- mobile SS-X-24 activity was identified at this facili- ty. (SAWN) Table 3.

Although the identification at that time was tentative, the lack of confi- dence in the identification was due to poor image interpret- ability, not Soviet CC&D practices.

On that date, the nine single-bay garages, the three seven-bay garages, and the command, control, and communications (C3) area were externally complete. The C3 area consisted of one ten-bay garage and a rectangular three-story C3 building with a roof-mounted an- tenna array. This C3 area has the same appearance as regimental C3 facilities at existing IRBM bases. However, the lattice towers usually observed near SS-20 regimental C3 facilities could not be identi- fied due to tree cover. If a mobile missile system other than the SS-20 is deployed at this base, then the Strategic Rocket Forces (SRF) apparently will continue to use an already proven command and control system. Also, two new barracks and a quonset-type building were constructed in the housing and administration area. (S/WN) 20. Division Command Post Bunker. The control bunker at Yoshkar-Ola ICBM Division Command Post Bunker was being excavated dur- ing the reporting period. By the exca- vation at the west end of the control bunker had been filled, but excavating continued at the east end of the bunker. Bunkers have been excavated at other SRF divisions where mobile missiles have been deployed and probably involve C3 upgrading related to the deployment of mobile missile sys- tems. (S/WN) 21. On a new antenna was identified on top of the Division Command Post Bunker. Construction of a rectangular building on the south side of the facility, which began in early 1983, was continuing at a slow pace. No activity was observed at the personnel bunker, which had been unearthed in August, on the northern side of the command post. (S/WN) 22. Yoshkar-OIa RTP. A probable SS-X-25 transshipment area was under construction in the receiving area of the RTP by mid-October. This separately secured area consists of a rail-served, ground support equipment transfer shed, that will conceal the transfer of missile-associated equipment. The construction of this new transshipment area, in addition to the recent completion of Yoshkar-Ola Mobile Missile Base 1, indicates preparations for initial deploy- ment of the SS-X-25 may be in progress. (S/WN) Yurya SSM Complex 23. Mobile Missile Base 6. Construction con- tinued at this mobile missile base throughout the quarter. By one type C single-bay garage was complete; foundations were present for five single-bay garages, and clearings were pre- sent for three single-bay garages. Three seven-bay garages were in a late stage of construction, and modifications were continuin on the west missile- ready bunker. By~all of the single-bay garages and seven-bay garages were complete (Figure 6). Open cable trenches and construction equipment were still evident in the operations area, however, and the tents in the construction support camp were still present. A probable C3 facility was in an early stage of construction near the operations area.

At Kamensk-Shakhtinskiy Solid Motor Production Plant, construction continued in the expansion area. The large fabrication-type building was externally complete and will be served by at least one rail spur. Construction of a possible cast- ing building was started on one of the two areas of ground preparation reported in the last reporting period. The heavy-walled construction of this building and the fact that a large portion of it will be below ground level indicate that it may be used for casting motors. Two rail spurs that will serve the new building are under construction. Ground preparations for at least one additional building were started during the period. Kamensk-Shakh- tinskiy is involved in various stages of strategic rocket motor production, including production of SS-X-25 motors. (S/WN) Petrokrepost 25. At Petrokrepost Explosive and Solid Mo- tor Plant Morozov, modification to two casting/ curing buildings and ground preparation for a pos- sible curing building were underway on The modifications to the casting/curing buildings include the reconfiguration of the revet- ments to accommodate new tunneled rail access points to the buildings. The new rail access points will provide a more efficient way of transporting motors, motor cases, and propellant to the build- ings from other areas of the plant. Ground clearing preparations for a possible curing building were started; construction materials were stockpiled nearby. This new construction will supplement a major construction effort, begun in 1979, to in- crease the solid motor production capabilities at the plant. Since then, new buildings have been started including a case preparation building, an ingredients preparation building, a finishing build- ing, and a mixing building; all are in various stages of construction. (S/WN) 26. The steady increase in building construc- tion in the composite motor production area since 1979 suggests that new solid propellant motors probably will be in series production at the plant, possibly as early as 1986. Petrokrepost previously has been involved in the filling of SS-16/-20 upper- stage motor cases with solid propellant. The modi- fied and new facilities at Petrokrepost could sup- port the production of motors for the SS-X-25 ICBM and/or the KY-15 IRBM.

At Pavlograd Solid Motor Production Plant, the only usable coverage of the solid motor production plant was acquired in early October at the beginning of the reporting period. This pre- cluded the monitoring of construction at the new solid motor production line. (S/WN) 28. At Pavlograd Solid Motor Assembly and I est Support I acility, the new building program, which was resumed and expanded in early 1983, continued during the reporting period. The build- ing program includes a new final assembly build- ing, an addition to an assembly building, and two new assembly-associated buildings within the main portion of the facility. It also includes con- struction along the northeastern boundary of the facility of a new area, which contains roadbeds for a concrete road and two probable rail spurs. Clearing and ground preparations for the con- struction of two possible missile assembly build- ings are also underway in the new area. The build- ing program may be for the production of an SS-X-24 follow-on and/or for production of a new missile system. (S/WN) Missile Support Rear Depots 29. Tambov. Tree clearing and grading for at least one new building were started near the open transshipment yard in the eastern part of Tambov Missile Support Rear Depot (MSRD), and the new rail spur in the open transshipment yard was com- pleted.

This section of the report addresses ac- tivity identified during this reporting period re- garding significant deployment, production, and development of mobile IRBMs (Figures 7 and 8). It includes information on newly identified mobile IRBM bases at 7hitomir, Korosten, and Kansk; the continuing dismantlement of single-bay garages at mobile IRBM bases in the Yurya complex; activity at the Yurya RTP; continued flight testing of the KY- 15; and the identification of a uniquely config- ured missile canister at Kapustin Yar. Also provid- ed is a summary of significant activity observed at deployed bases, field training areas, and testing and production facilities. Tables summarizing field training areas, mobile missile base construction, and Ct activity can be found in the appendix. (S/WN) Deployment 32. The identification of three new SS-20 bases during this quarter brought to 15 the num- ber of new SS-20 bases identified during 1984 (Fig- ure 9). 1 ive of these 15 new bases became opera- tional during the quarter (Krolevets Mobile IRBM Rase 2, Akhtyrka Mobile IRBM Base 2, Brody Mo- 1984 NPIC W-0130 1975 1976 1977 1978 bile IRBM Base 1, Barnaul Mobile IRBM Base 5, and Kansk Mobile IRBM Base 3); a total of six bases became operational in 1984. Of the 15 new bases identified during 1984, 12 were west of the Ural Mountains in the western USSR, and only three were in the eastern USSR. However, the six bases that achieved operational status in 1984 were di- vided evenly between the western and eastern portions of the country. (S/WN) 33. The Soviets appear to be stabilizing their divisional structure at five IRBM regiments per divi- sion. Four of the SS-20 divisions in the western USSR now contain five bases; a fifth western divi- sion (Belokorovichi) contains four bases and one suspect site; a sixth western division (Lida) contains five bases. Resubordination of the two mobile bases in the nearby Pruzhany Division comple- mented the existing three bases. This resubordina- tion has the additional affect of placing the two Pruzhany Division bases in a division with a nu- clear payload handling facility, a type of facility absent from the Pruzhany Division but present in every other SS-20 division. With the exception of the Novosibirsk Division, which contains six bases, the remaining SS-20 divisions contain enough bases and/or suspect sites to conform to the five- base pattern.

Korosten.Onl SS-20-associ- ated construction was confirmed at Korosten SSM Launch Position 7, and the launch position was redesignated Korosten Mobile IRBM Base 1. This former SS-4 MRBM launch site had been a suspect site since mid-July, when tree clearing was ob- served in the former launch area. By mid-Septem- ber, foundations for a C3 area (consisting of a C3 building and an associated multibay garage) and the foundation for a security building were pres- ent. On foundation footings for one four-bay garage were observed. (S/WN) 35. Usovo. Construction continued at Usovo Mobile IRBM Base 1, which had been identified in August. By footings for three four-bay garages were in the operations area, and work was proceeding on the possible C3 building. There were no foundations or clearings for single-bay garages. (S/WN) 36. Zhitomir. Zhitomir MRBM Launch Site 2 was confirmed as an SS-20 base on and designated Zhitomir Mobile IRBM Base 1. Foundation footings for two type A/B single-bay garages and one four-bay garage were in the oper- ations area, along with excavation/grading for an additional unidentified building. Zhitomir Mobile IRBM Base 1, a suspect site since early August, is the fourth base in the Belokorovichi Division. (S/WN) 37. Belokorovichi. No significant activity oc- curred at Belokorovichi SSM Launch Position 4 (formerly launch site 1), a former SS-4 launch site where an NPHF under construction was identified footings for a high two-bay building and a When last observed, on foundation for a technical support building were present. Additional tree clearing had also taken place, suggesting that an SS-20 base may also be constructed here. (S/WN) 38. Probable C3 upgrading appeared to be in progress within the division. By Ocon- struction was complete on the three 40-meter lat- tice towers and the adjacent control building at the Mozyr IRBM Division Command Post Bunker. A TWIN EAR antenna was mounted on each tower. Additionally, the north side of the control bunker was being excavated. At the Mozyr IRBM Division transmitter, construction begun last quarter was completed, and two probable satellite communi- cations dishes were on the T e E satellite commu- nications building on The installation of tower-mounted TWIN EAR antennas, the excavat- ing of the command post, and the construction of an additional satellite communications building for the division indicate another major C3 upgrade in the Mozyr IRBM Division. The last comparable C3 upgrade took place in the Mozyr Division in 1976, with the deployment of the SS-20. (S/WN) Romny Division 39. Akhtyrka. Akhtyrka Mobile IRBM Base 2, in the late stages of construction during the previ- ous reporting period, was completed by SS-20-associated equipment was observed in the support area on and by 13 canvas-covered MSVs and one TEL wining canister were present. As of only three MSVs and the TEL with training canister remained in the support area. (The re- maining equipment may have been moved into the completed operations area.) Excess construction material and debris had been cleared from both the operations and support areas, and previously exposed cable trenches had been backfilled. The C3 area was also complete. (S/WN) 40. Krolevets. Krolevets Mobile IRBM Base 2 was assessed to be operational during December. The nine single-bay garages and the three multibay garages in the ations area had been complet- ed by o er but modification work on the former missile-ready bunkers continued until late October. SS-20-associated equipment, consisting of ten MSVs and one TEL with training canister, was first seen at this base on Partial coverage during November increased the difficulty of assessing the status of the base, but snowmelt on the roofs of three single-bay garages on indicated that occupancy might have begun (see paragraph 52). Complete coverage ofE showed that construction in both the Mozyr Division RCA-01/0001/85 Top Secret RUFF operations and support areas had been complet- ed, and the SS-20 support equipment was no long- er in open storage.

Lebedin. Twelve probable MSVs arrived at I ebedin Mobile IRBM Base 1 between Figure 10). The ve several of which were camouflaged, were in open storage at the western end of the operations area, and they remained there on Because this base has been operational since May 1982, this equipment was probably destined for one of the three bases under construction in this division. As of 16 November, Akhtyrka Mobile IRBM Base 1 was the only one of the three bases under con- struction in this division which had not received SS-20 equipment. (S/WN) Along the southern edge of the operations area were footings for a probable C3-associated multi- bay garage. (S/WN) 44. Brody. On Brody Mobile IRBM Base 1 was declared operational. All nine single-bay garages and the three multibay garages in the operations area were externally complete. Snow was cleared from in front of these garages and from the main roads at the base. Multibay garages in the support and C3 areas were also complete, and the temporary support area was dismantled. In a probably related development, SS-20 equipment that had been in storage at near- by Brody Launch Position 3 on was no longer present on It probably had been transferred to Brody Mobile IRBM Base 1. (S/WN) seven camouflaged SS-20-associated vehicles were in the west end of the former SS-4 launch area. The vehicles included three probable TELs and four probable MSVs. By these vehicles had been repositioned onto three of the four former launch pads. This equipment was probably in temporary storage awaiting comple- tion of Brody Mobile IRBM Base 1, which was in a late stage of construction on that date. (S/WN) 46. Lutsk. The status of the C3 upgrading at the Lutsk IR/MRBM Division Command Post Bun- ker could not be determined because of the lack of imagery during the reporting period. During the previous reporting period, several antennas had been under construction in the facility, including a STICK PIN, a FISHBONE, a five-element array, and a hardened antenna. (S/WN) 45.

Yurya. The dismantlement under way at Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 3 during the previous reporting period was observed at three additional bases in this division between October and De- cember. By0 all single-bay garage com- ponents had been removed from the operations area of Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 3, and dismantle- ment had begun at Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 1, where one single-bay garage was completely dis- mantled and a second was partially down. Disman- tlement at Mobile Base 1 had been finished byE (Figure 11), and all components had been removed by At Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 5, one single-bay garage was disman- tled by and all nine had been dis- mantled by Dismantlement at Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 2 was under way on ber, and by five single-bay garages were down, although none of the disassembled components had been removed. Dismantlement had begun at Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 4 by when one single-bay garage had been dismantled. (SAWN) the reporting period. However, modification of the single-bay garage foundations or expansion of the three-bay garages would probably be the first indi- cation that the dismantled bases were being con- verted to another missile system. (S/WN) 51. Although dismantlement has been taking place at all five Yurya mobile IRBM bases, no changes have been identified at the regimental C3 headquarters. The C3 headquarters for Mobile Bases 1, 2, and 5 were last observed on =and for Mobile Base 3 on When the Yurya IRBM Division Headquarters was last observed, on no changes had taken place. If a new missile system is being deployed in the Yurya Division, the lack of modifications to the C3 facilities indicates that the new missile system will employ the existing C3 system. (S/WN) 52. Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 4 was the last IRBM base in the division to begin undergoing dismantlement. On a distinctive snowmelt pattern, probably occupancy related, was observed on the roofs of several single-bay garages. As observed there and at other SS-20 bases, this pattern appears approximately 7 meters from the front right side of the single-bay garage at the roof peak (Figure 12). Although wind and sun factors affect the snowmelt, this pattern probably indicates occupancy. After no snowmelt pattern was observed on the single-bay garage, no snow was cleared from in front of the single-bay garages (this is usually done at an oper- ational base after a snowfall), and ground support equipment was observed at the RTP (see para- graph 55). By dismantlement had begun, with one single-bay garage down and the roofs of four others open. (S/WN) 53. Several features were common to dis- mantlement procedures at all the dismantled IRBM bases: the appendages on the single-bay garages were removed; single-bay garage components were stacked next to the foundation until the en- tire garage was dismantled; dismantlement in- volved single-bay garages only-the three-bay ga- rages remained intact; and dismantlement proceeded by battalion. After each base was dis- mantled, the single-bay garage components were taken to the Yurya RTP and probably shipped ei- ther to another base under construction or to a missile support rear depot. The dismantlement of all nine single-bay garages has taken approximate- ly one month per base and has been preceded by equipment transshipment at the RTP. (S/WN) 54. Yurya RTP. Single-bay garage compo- nents in gondola cars were observed in the RTP on The components 50. At Mobile Base 5, excavating was ob- served in three single-bay garage foundations on Subsequent snowfall precluded de- tailed assessment of this activity before the end of RCA-01/0001/85 Top Secret RUFF probably had come from Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 1, which had been dismantled by and from Yurya Mobile IRBM Base 5, which a been dismantled by Other activity 25X1 was observed at the RTP on 25X1 and involved flatcars, 25X1 gondola cars, and unidentified special-purpose railcars used to ship SS-20-related support equip- ment.

At that time, it was not clear whether equip- ment was being shipped out or shipped in, possi- bly for Yurya Mobile Missile Base 6 (which was in an early to midstage of construction). Because sin- gle-bay garage dismantlement had not started at that time, there was no reason to suspect that SS- 20 equipment was being transported from the divi- sion. Subsequently, single-bay garages have been dismantled at the Yurya IRBM bases, and no equipment has been seen at Yurya Mobile Missile Base 6; therefore, the activity at the Yurya RTP onE was the initial indication of the SBG dis- mantlement in the Yurya Division. (S/WN) 56. Shipment of SS-20 equipment from the Yurya Division continued during the reporting pe- riod. I ive to 11 missile-associated railcars were in the transloading area of the Yur a RTP on 12 and No other missile railcars were observed until when only one missile railcar was observed.

Kansk IRBM Division Headquarters. On 25 December, Kansk IRBM Division Headquarters was in the late stages of construction. The rectan- gular C3 building appeared to be externally com- plete, but the administration building, which is connected with the C3 building by a passageway, was still under construction. Also, the WOOD BINS satellite communications vehicle and the two R-405 generators, previously seen in a vehicle stor- age area 500 meters west of the C3 building, had been moved to the antenna field adjacent to the C3 building. (S/WN) Eastern USSR/Omsk SRF Army 66. Barnaul IRBM Division Headquarters. A probable mobile high frequency (HF) communica- tions set, providing a temporary link to the SRF HF network, was at Barnaul IRBM Division Headquar- ters on when a probable horizontal dipole antenna was observed 300 feet south of the Barnaul Division headquarters building. The an- tenna was near a parking area containing eight probable communications vehicles. This HF com- munications set is similar to a mobile HF communi- cations set previously identified in the Kansk SS-20 Support Complex. Although mobile satellite com- munications equipment such as WOOD BINE, PARK DRIVE, and mobile signal units are common- ly seen in open storage at SRF division headquar- ters, usually only the mobile satellite communica- tions vehicles are observed deployed at the division headquarters; the mobile HF sets are nor- mally seen only in the field. The mobile HF com- munications units deployed at the Barnaul and Kansk division headquarters, however, probably are lateral hook-ups to a nearby SRF division head- quarters. The units may be serving as temporary links to the SRF HF network until permanent HF facilities can be constructed. By the end of the reporting period, no permanent long-range HF communications transmitter or receiver facilities had been constructed in the Barnaul or Kansk Divi- sions.

(S/WN) 69. On an SS-20 equipment transfer involving at least nine and possibly ten missile-associated railcars was in progress at the Barnaul RTP. The missile-associated railcars, which were not present ono had departed by This transfer operation was probably related to Barnaul Mobile IRBM Base 5, which was assessed to be operational on (S/W N) 70. Also on four SS-20 equip- ment mockups were under construction in a tree clearing near the steamplant at the support com- plex. Construction of the mockups was first seen ono The presence of mockups at SS-20 support complexes is unusual. (S/WN) 71. On a large building, similar to the large buildings at three Strategic Rocket Forces facilities, was identified under construction 17 nm northeast of the Barnaul Support Complex at 53-33-42N 084-16-21E. This building was in the early stages of construction and consisted of two parallel rows of footings and rails for a crane. When complete, the building will be 49 meters wide, 24 meters high, and at least 49 meters long. The function of this large building is to conceal construction of a probable command and control silo and possibly some type of survivable commu- nications antenna system. However, it cannot be determined if this C3 system will be solely for the Barnual IRBM Division or part of a national-level survivable C3 system. (S/WN) 72. Barnaul Mobile IRBM Base 4.

In addition, an 18-meter-deep, two-bay shed and a rune-bay garage were under construction west of the missile receiving and checkout build- ing. I he excavations for the nine-bay garage indi- cate that it will be at least 18 meters deep and may be 24 meters deep. If this garage is 24 meters deep, it would be the first of that depth at the rangehead. I wenty-tour-meter-deep garages related to mobile strategic ballistic missiles were first associated with the SS-16 mobile ICBM at Plesetsk Missile/Space I est Center. In addition, one 14-bay garage and one 15-bay garage, both 24 meters deep, were constructed in the vehicle maintenance area at Mo,,yr Mobile IRBM Base. (S/WN) 86. A high level of activity was observed at the new driver training course north of the general support area. On at least 27 vehi- cles, inc lulling 17 MAZ-543 four-axle chassis and cargo trucks, were on the course. This course was probably constructed to support crew training for the KY- 15. (S/WN) 87. KY-14 Activity. On at I1116/, prelaunch activity was observed at site 1C, when two camouflaged TELs with missile canisters and nine MSVs were at launch position 1C-3 near the five-bay garage. One of the TELs was at the H- shaped, launch-associated position near the type B single-bay garage, and the other was in a launch line with three MSVs south of the five-bay garage. DEFSMAC reported the launch of a KY-14 from Kapustin Yar at 22427 on DEFSMAC K/DQ/1437-84 [TSZ]; Table 7). On no camouflaged vehicles or equipment and no evidence of the launch (burn marks, blast effects, or self-eject launch technique [SELT] rings) were identified. However, an additional expended SS-20 canister had been placed in open storage at launch position 1C-2. (TSZ) Table 7.

Six more MSVs were south of the five-bay garage (Figure 26). On at 1017Z, only one TEL was ob- served, and it had been moved to the H-shaped, launch-associated position near the single-bay ga- rage. DEFSMAC reported that the first dual KY-14 launch occurred at 1505Z and 1508Z on DEFSMAC S/DQ/1152-84 [S]). On~ no evidence of the launches was ob- served, but three additional expended SS-20 canisters had been placed in open storage at launch position 1C-2. Two of the canisters were probably from the KY-14 launches, and the other canister was probably from the SS-20 launch to the Makat impact area. 89. SS-20 Activity. Insufficient coverage was acquired of the SS-20-related areas to confidently assess the level of SS-20 crew training activity. However, based on the number of SS-20 launches from the rangehead and the observation of SS-20 battalions or elements of regiments, SS-20 crew training probably continued at a normal pace. (S/WN) 90. Three SS-20s were launched from the rangehead during the reporting period. No pre- launch activity was observed at site 1C for these launches, which occurred on and on (DEFSMAC S/DQ/970-84 [S], S/DQ/1125-84 [S], and S/DQ/1159-84 [S], respec- tively; Table 8).

One SS-20 regiment, and occasionally elements of a second, was in temporary storage or transit at the missile receiving/inspection/storage area during October and November. Construction of the new possible mobile missile-associated nu- clear payload handling facility in this area contin- ued at a slow pace. (S/WN) 93. During 1984, SS-20 regiment-sized field training exercises were observed nearly monthly while at least one SS-20 regiment was in transit or in temporary storage in the receiving/inspection/ storage area. This suggests that at least two and possibly three SS-20 regiments were cycled through the rangehead per month in 1984. Al- though some of this activity probably was in sup- port of crew training for regiments to be deployed at new bases, it is likely that most regiments ob- served at Kapustin Yar in areas historically associ- ated with the SS-20 are from deployed complexes and are participating in cyclical training. (S/WN) 94. On an overturned proba- ble SS-20 TEL with portions of a load simulator was observed south of the general support area (Figure 27). Image interpretability precluded identifying any damage to the overturned TEL, although it was on its side, and sections of the load simulator had been removed. It appeared that the west wall of the drive-through revetment had partially col- lapsed. A probable crane with a collapsing boom was next to the TEL.

Unidentified Structure. At Complex C Site 8, a U-shaped structure was built just east of Iauncl1 position 8C-1. Two vertical posts were atop the intersection of the legs and the base of the "U," and it appeared that a large meshlike object was stretched between and atop the legs of the "U." Also, a concrete slab wall had been con- structed inside of and adjacent to the inner site security fence. This wall is on a line between the probable launc h point at launch position 8C-1 and the U-shaped structure. A cable trench extends from the north subsurface building at launch posi- lion 8C-1 to the U-shaped structure. The open end of the structure faces downrange. The function of the U-shaped structure has not been determined. I his site is externally complete. (S/WN) 96. At the new missile-associated area east of Complex C Site 4C-1, construction appeared to have been completed during the reporting period. I he tun( tion of this area still has not been deter- mined. (S/WN) 97. CC&D at Kapustin Yar. No new CC&D techniques were identified for the SS-20, the KY- 14, or the KY-15 during the reporting period. However, the probable TEL for the KY-15 has been observed several times without canvas or camou- flage material covering it. Moreover, the canvas on the new-type dollies at Kapustin Yar did not se- verely hamper their identification or analysis of their configuration. (S/WN) Single-Bay Garage Component Production and Stockpiling 98. Single-bay garage components contin- ued to be fabricated and stockpiled at Bryansk Guided Missile Support Equipment Plant II. In ad- dition, single-bay garage components continued to be stockpiled at at least three of the seven missile support rear depots (MSRDs; Figure 28). Components for at least 30 single-bay garages were delivered to the field from October through December: nine type C to Yurya Mobile Missile Base 6, nine type A/B to Ruzhany Mobile IRBM Base 1, nine type A/B to Kansk Mobile IRBM Base 4, and at least 3 to Belokorovichi SSM Training Facility School. Probable type A roof end sections were with the components delivered to Ruzhany Mobile IRBM Base 1, which indicates that the com- ponents probably came from the dismantled bases at Yurya. By the end of the reporting period, com- ponents for at least 47 single-bay garages re- mained stockpiled at the MSRDs and Bryansk. Numbers of single-bay garages stockpiled at the MSRDs and in the transshipment yards at Bryansk from October through December are listed in Ta- ble 9. (S/WN) Missile Support Rear Depots 99.

This section of the report addresses the research, development, production, deployment, and logistics of Soviet short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) systems. It summarizes the status of SCALE- BOARD (SS-12) deployment in Eastern Europe and the USSR (Figure 29) and the SCALEBOARD in- volvement in antitactical ballistic missile (ATBM) testing near Emba. Also discussed is the status of SS-23s and SS-21s. An updated SRBM order of battle and a list of acronyms can be found in the appendix. (S/WN) SCALEBOARD Activity 107.

(S/WN) 112. The projects in this section remained in a relatively early stage of construction. Three areas of interest at Belokorovichi and Kansk have char- acteristics suggesting a mobile IRBM association, while five others at Irkutsk, Kostroma, and Ye- drovo may have a mobile ICBM association (Figure 30). (S/WN) Irkutsk 116. Little activity occurred during the quar- ter. Three support/storage buildings had been constructed in the construction support camp by and footings were present for a fourth. When last observed, on steam was emanating from a small building in the construction support camp. No change had oc- curred in the operations area, where footing exca- vations for one seven-bay garage were observed. (S/WN) had been installed at this garage, and by garages. By most of the wall panels braces had been installed in one of the seven-bay most of the roof panels were in place. Belokorovichi Division 113. On tree clearing, possi- bly in preparation for security fences and building construction, was continuing in the former SS-4 launch area and in the propellant storage area at /hitomir SSM Launch Position 5 (formerly launch site 3). Initial tree clearing was observed on- This type of clearing has been seen at other deactivated MRBM sites prior to SS-20 con- version. (S/WN) 114. At the end of this reporting period, four SS-20 mobile IRBM bases had been identified un- der construction in the Belokorovichi Division. If the Soviets follow the usual pattern of five regi- ments to a division, it would seem unlikely that the tree clearing at Belokorovichi SSM Launch Position 4 and /hitomir SSM Launch Position 5 would be for SS-20 bases. Instead, the Soviets may construct only a at Belokor- ovichi SSM Launch Position 4 and an SS-20 base at /hitomir SSM Launch Position 5. (S/WN) 115. No change was detected in the status of the previously reported construction area approxi- mately 10 rim south of Kansk Mobile IRBM Base 4 when the area was last observed When previously observed on o con- struction activity consisted of tree clearing and grading. (S/WN) Stanchions were in the foundation footings of an- other seven-bay garage. Construction was con- tinuing on several buildings in the support area, and trenches were evident at the site. (S/WN) termined when it was last observed on Construction was continuing on apartment buildings, barracks, and administration buildings, although no missile-associated buildings have been identified. No rail lines were present, and no extensive security measures, such as fences, were observed. (S/WN) Kostroma SSM Complex 119. Construction of the probable SS-X-24 missile receiving and checkout area continued. The construction is concentrated in two general areas, designated area A and area B (Figure 31). By late December, a rail-through shed, approximately 36 by 12 meters, was under construction in area A. When complete, this rail-through shed may be similar to a rail-through shed in the rail-mobile SS- X-24 missile receiving and checkout area at Ple- setsk Missile Handling Facility. Construction con- tinued on two large buildings and several small buildings. The main rail spur leading into area A has been extended the entire length of the facility, and three shorter spurs now branch off the main spur in area A. Another rail line has been extended into area B. In addition, tree clearing and grading resumed in area B; however, no new building con- struction was observed.

By late December, footings had been installed, and foundation work had begun on an unidentified building adjacent to the payload assembly building. In addition, a grad- ed area and a small, multicompartmented building foundation were observed at the southeast corner supporting both the silo-based and rail-mobile de- ployment modes of the SS-X-24 ICBM. As yet, no indications of a silo modification program or rail- mobile launch facilities have been identified at Ko- stroma. (S/WN) Yedrovo SSM Complex of the facility. Expansion of the generally has coincided with de- ployment of new missile systems at Soviet ICBM complexes. (S/WN) 121. In the receiving area of the RTP, a rail concealment Structure, approximately 600 meters long, was nearly complete. Peak-roofed sections have been placed over most of the rail line. This structure will conceal any railcars or transshipment activity. The structure, which has been under con- struction since mid-August, includes one section with a stepped roof. The purpose of this stepped- roof area, previously reported as a probable rail transfer shed, is unknown. (S/WN) 122. When the facilities under construction at Kostroma are complete, they will be capable of 123. At Yedrovo, where 110 SS-17 ICBMs are deployed, probable SS-X-24-related construc- tion continued in the RTP. By external construction of the probable SS-X-24 receiving, inspection, and checkout building was almost complete, and the rail line extended into the high- bay portion of the building. In addition, a concrete block apron was being installed in front of the building and around the footings for a second building. The limited scale of construction tends to rule out deployment of the rail-mobile version of the SS-X-24, which apparently requires more ex- tensive handling facilities such as those at Plesetsk and those under construction at Kostroma. No indications of silo modification have been ob- served at the launch sites at Yedrovo.
