The plant occupies a rectangular area of ap-
proximately 225 acres and is secured by a
fence. The total roof coverage of the buildings
described in this report is about 802,850 square
feet. The plant is composed of two principal
Transportation to the plant is mainly by
water, via the Moscow Canal and the Volga River
(Figure 1); material is shipped and received
through the west gate, using the docking facili-
ties along the reservoir. A road from the plant
connects with the Moscow-Kimry highway via
the city of Ivankovo. A sod landing area north
of the plant may provide air service, although
the more modern Kletino Airfield 7 nm to the
northeast is probably the primary air facility.
A description of the four plant areas and
the major structures in each follows. Item num-
bers and letters are keyed to Figure 3, and a
table of building dimensions is foundon Figure 3.

The single-story probable final assembly
building (item 6A) is the tallest structure in the
Main Assembly Area; it is a hangar-type struc-

skylights. The probable subassembly shop

several longitudinal monitors extending the en-
tire length of the flat roof; the distinguishing
roof feature is a wide boxlike structure also
along the full length of the roof, but distinct
from the monitors.
A two-section probable subassembly/ma-
chine shop is also located in this area. Imme-
diately to the east of item 6B is a low, single-
story flat-roofed structure with several longi-
tudinal monitors extending the entire length of
the building; a wide boxlike structure on the
roof, comparable to the one observed on item
6B, extends only half the length of the more
easterly building. This building was construc-
ted in at least two stages; the older section,
observable on photography of 0 is iden-
tified as item 6C, while the portion built since
is identified as item 6E. Southeast of this
structure is a probable machine shop (item 7),
also low and of single-story construction; it too
has a flat roof with longitudinal monitors. Item
7 has been added to the site since ~ and is
connected directly to the main assembly hall by
double roads.
Item 6D is a multistory structure with a
flat roof. It is probably used as an administra-
tion building.
Items 5 and 15, located close to the west
and east sides of the Main Assembly Area, are
probably security/administration facilities. Item
5, which is a group of four small buildings, and
item 15 have a combined roof coverage of about
15,125 square feet.
PROBABLE ENGINEERING ADMINISTRATION
AREA
The Probable Engineering Administration
Area is located in the northwestern quarter of
the plant complex (Figure 3). The varied sizes
and shapes of the buildings and their physical
location apart from the Main Assembly Area in-
dicate that various engineering functions are
located in this section of the site.
This portion of the plant complex has a total
roof coverage of about 48,625 square feet, all of
which is over buildings built since Q Sev-
eral other buildings are not included in this
total roof coverage figure and are not numbered
on Figure 3; these buildings in combination with
other miscellaneous unnumbered structures at
the plant represent a total roof coverage of
about 35,000 square feet.
The Probable Storage/Maintenance Area
contains a group of buildings which vary in shape
and size; these structures probably serve as
storage facilities and maintenance workshops
for the plant. Seven buildings in this area have
a combined roof coverage of approximately
52,980 square feet.
The Machine Shop/Forge-Foundry Area
contains a group of four structures located along
an access road which connects the buildings with
each other and with the Main Assembly Area
(Figure 3). These four buildings plus a fifth
farther north have a combined roof coverage of
approximately 79,720 square feet; Items 16, 18,
Item 16, which is L-shaped with a flat roof,
possibly serves as a supporting machine shop
for the Main Assembly Area. Item 17, a low,
flat-roofed structure, is another possible sup-
porting machine shop.
A two-level building with a flat roof (item
18) has been observed on ground photography
and appears to have two or more short stacks
which indicate that this is a probable forge-

25X1 D structure which has been built since photogra-
phy of0 it possibly serves as a sup-
porting shop for the production area facilities.
At the northern edge of this area is the
power plant (item 20) for the aircraft facility.
