FROG-7 TACTICAL SURFACE-TO-SURFACE MISSILE UNITS
SINO RI BKS A WPNS TEST FAC, NORTH KOREA
1. (S/D) SIGNIFICANCE: CONFIRMATION OF A SECOND FROG-7
TACTICAL SURFACE-TO-SURFACE MISSILE BATTALION IN THE 8TH
CORPS.
2. (S/D) REMARKS: ELEMENTS OF TWO FROG-7 TACTICAL
SURFACE-TO-SURFACE MISSILE (TAC SSM) BATTALIONS WERE
OBSERVED AT SINO RI BKS A WPNS TEST FAC ON 1 AUGUST. SIX
CANVAS-COVERED FROG-7 TEL WERE PARKED IN THE OPEN BETWEEN
THE TWO DOUBLE-SECURED VEHICLE SHEDS IN THE VEHICLE STORAGE
AREA. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT MORE THAN TWO FROG-7 TEL
HAVE BEEN SEEN HERE. THE EQUIPMENT WAS PROBABLY PARKED IN
THE OPEN BECAUSE THE ROOF OF ONE OF THE TWO LARGE VEHICLE
SHEDS HAD PIR. FROG-7 TEL WERE LAST
SEEN HERE WHEN TWO WERE PRESENT.
LIMITED SIGHTINGS OF FROG-RELATED EQUIPMENT AT SINO RI HAS
INDICATED THE PRESENCE OF ONLY ONE FROG-7 BATTALION.
HOWEVER, THE PRESENCE OF SIX FROG-7 TEL AND SUFFICIENT
VEHICLE STORAGE CAPACITY FOR AT LEAST TWO BATTALION-SIZED
COMPLEMENTS OF SUPPORT EQUIPMENT INDICATES THAT THE
INSTALLATION HAS PROBABLY HOUSED AT LEAST TWO BATTALIONS
SINCE THE INITIAL IDENTIFICATION OF FROG-7 HERE IN 1979.
THE VEHICLE SHEDS THAT HOUSE THE FROG-7 ROUIPMEN N
PRESENT SINCE AT LEAST 1971. ~ T RAvR 7
