This report supplements NPIC/R-80/64, 1/
which discusses the Risti MRBM Complex, pre-
viously consisting of 2 Type I MRBMlaunch areas
and a rail-to-road transfer point.
The Risti Fixed Field Site is located in a
small patch of woods just 2.5 nautical miles (nm)
inland of the Paldiski Bay, in Estonian SSR (Fig-

tion as to whether the site is present or not; how-
ever, at least 2 launch positions and an associated
road network are evident on Mission

on Mission
Launch Areas No 1 and 2 are both complete
and are located 9.3 nm south and 5.8 nm south-
southeast, respectively, from the fixed field site.
The complex probably uses the rail facilities at
Risti as a rail-to-road transfer point. The 2
launch areas and the field site are connected to
Risti and to each other by a good, all-weather
road system.
The field site (Figure 2) is situated adjacent
to a good, all-weather road leading west-south-
west from Kloostri, and from which roads branch
off to form loops serving the 4 launch positions.
To the southwest of each position and connected
by road to it is a linear clearing. No buildings
are discernible in the immediate vicinity of the
positions, but 2 former probable tent areas are
noted to the northwest of the site. No erectors
or other missile equipment are seen in the launch
positions, which are all oriented in a northeast
direction.
