CONTINUING STUDY OF THE ICBM COMPLEX AT TATISHCHEVO REVEALS
A PRODAlILE SECOND SILO UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT LAUNCH SITE Al.
THE SECOND SILO IS ADJACENT TO THE STRUCTURE IN AN EXCAVATION
AND IS SPACED APPROXIMATELY 5 90 FEET NORTH OF THE SILO PREVIOUSLY
REPORTED IN QqK 1015-2, PART II. THE SPACING, PRESENCE OF AN
UNDERG tOUND STRUCTURE ADJACENT TO THE SILO,, AND CIRCULAR SILO
CONSTRUCTION ALL INDICATE THAT LAUNCH AREA G8-69 AT THE TYURATAM
ITC IS PROBABLY THE PROTOTYPE OF THIS TYPE OF DEPLOYMENT. IF THE
LOOP ROAD PATTERN AT THIS SITE WERE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THE SECOND
SILO IT WOULD CLOSELY APPROXIMATE THE LOOP ROAD AT GS-G9 TTMTC.
FURTHER STUDY OF SITE D4, LAUNCH GROUP D, OLOVYANNAYA ICBM COMPLEX
SHOJIS A SECOND PROBABLE SILO UNDER CONSTRUCTION APPROXIMATELY
460 FEET TO THE WEST-SOUTHWEST. THIS INDICATES THAT THE TAT-
ISHCHEVO AND Q?OVYANNAYA LAUNCH GROUP D-TYPE OF DEPLOYMENT WILL
PROBABLY HAVE DUAL SILOS AT EACH LAUNCH SITE.
THE CHRON Q. OGY OF C INSTRUCT I ON AT TATISHCHEVO SITE A l SHOWS
THAT CONSTRUCTION OF ONE SILO IS IN PROGRESS FOR SOME TIME BEFORE
THE SECOND IS STARTED. THIS MAY ACCOUNT FOR LACK OF IDENTIFICATION
OF DUAL SILOS AT EVERY SITE AS OF THIS TIME AND DATE. SPECIF-
ICALLY -- 1. NO EVIDENCE OF SITE.
2. ONE SILO UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
30 ONE SILO UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
4. SECOND SILO UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
5. TWO SILOS UNDER CONSTRUCTION WITH
EVIDENCE OF LOOP ROAD AT FIRST SILO?
