12. (S/WN) Verkhnyaya Salda SSM Complex, Stationary SS-20 vehicle mockups were identified at
three of the five mobile IRBM bases at this complex, Verkhnyaya Salda Mobile IRBM Base 1, Verkhnyaya
Salda Mobile IRBM Base 2, and Verkhnyaya Salda Mobile IRBM Base 5.On~at Mobile IRBM Base 1,
at least five stationary SS-20 vehicle mockups were in the wooded area between the operations and
support areas (Figure 6). Foundations for these mockups were present on At Mobile IRBM Base 5,
mockups of at least six 55.20 vehicles, three of which were TELs with canisters, were under construction in
the support area near the steamplant (Figure 7). These were also first present on at
Mobile IRBM Base 2, three large and two smaller SS-20 vehicle mockups were under construction near
the dismantled 55-7 silos (Figure 6). One of the larger mockups resembled a TEL. The mockups were first
observed on the SS-20 vehicle mockups were camouflaged at Mobile IRBM
Base 1 and Mobile IRBM Base 5.
13. (S/WN) Verkhnyaya Salda RTP 0 On 0 a probable SS-20 launch battalion was
departing the RTP at 1654Z. The launch battalion, not present at 0623Z, consisted of three probable SS-20
TELs and at least ten support vehicles. In addition, the SBG which was first observed under construction
on at the south end of the RTP had been externally completed by~
14. (S/WN) On SS-20 activity was underway in three different areas of the RTP. On the
C
railspur serving the receiving area, three empty, canvas-covered SS-20 TELs and one canvas-covered
meter MSV were on four flatbed railcars (Figure 9). In the receiving/storage area, two empty SS-20
TELs, an SS-20 canvas-covered missile canister handling dolly, and a canvas-covered unidentified object
were near a four-bay building; however, the unidentified object has been present since at least
At the NPHF near the technical support building, three camouflaged SS-20-associated vehicles and a
camouflaged warhead-associated work platform were present, The presence of the work platform and
the location of the SS-20-associated vehicles, which have been present since suggest that
warhead checkout-related activity may be underway.

Onall nine SS-20 missile canisters had
been removed from the PHF. The nine missile canisters were first identified on three
missile canisters had been removed from their camouflaged storage position in the former SS-4 propel-
lant storage area. Between the remaining six-missile canisters were removed. The
canisters may have been moved inside the former SS-4 missile-ready building or transferred to Kivertsy
Mobile IRBM Base 2, which was in the late stages of construction during this reporting period.
17, (S/WN) Krolevets Mobile IRBM Base 1. This base has been assessed to be operational since
when the operations area appeared to be capable of maintaining an SS-20 unit.
16. (S/WN) Lebedin Mobile IRBM RIP Q The facilities at the RTP were being ex-
panded and improved, probably to increase the missile and equipment handling capability. On
a loop road had been constructed near the receiving area; by two GSE transfer
sheds had been constructed near the rail line at the RTP. In addition, a helicopter landing pad had been
completed by (Figure 10).
19. (S/WN) Lida Mobile IRBM Base 1. On 0 SS-20 vehicle mockups were in the operations
area of Mobile IRBM Base 1 (Figure 11). The SS-20 velhicle mockups resembled three MSVs and three SS-
20 TELs, It could not be determined whether these mockups are of the transportable or stationary type.
20. (S/WN) Lutsk Mobile IRBM Base 1, This bases was assessed to be operational in June.
21, (S/WN) Rechitsa Mobile IRBM Support Base,. An SS-20 vehicle was identified for the first time at
this support base on when an SS-20 TEL with canister was observed in the GSE storage area
(Figure 12).
22. (S/WN) Novaya Mezinovka Missile Support Rear Depot. On the rail line leading into
the recently constructed SBG at the missile support rear depot was complete (Figure 13). This is the only
known SBG that is rail served. The SBG is on an apron at the end of one of the receiving/checkout
buildings. The garage is a standard SS-20 SBG; however, the doors have not yet been installed, leaving a
wide opening. The door opening on a standard SBG with installed doors isOCompo-
nents for a second SBG are nearby and it appears that the garage will be constructed on the opposite side
of the apron; however, there were no indications of rail line construction for this garage during this
period.

23. (S/WN) All 11 of the SS-20-associated facilities and crew training areas were imaged during the
reporting period. New construction was identified at Kapustin Yar General Support Area
24. (S/WN) A new high-bay assembly/checkout building was observed under construction just
south of the General Su ort Area (Figure 14). When completed, the building will have a center bayC
meters long, wide, and0 high and will house a traveling bridge crane. The center
bay will be flanked by two-story building wings. The building will be served by a concrete block loop

G and ICBM LTS 6 and the seven mobile ICBM-associated support/launch
test facilities were imaged during this reporting period.
26. (S/WN) All 42 of the LRPs were observed during the reporting period (Chart 1). Occasionally,
image interpretability was sufficient to detect canvas-covered probable AADs in some of the LRPs.
27. (S/WN) MOB 1. All 12 of the LRPs at this base were observed. The cable replacement/refurbish-
ment program was continuing and the roofing material on some of the buildings was also being replaced.
28. (TSR) MOB 2. All 12 of the LRPs at this base were observed. During early August, the section of
concrete block road around the recently installed hardpoints west of the operations area was probably
being widened. In addition, a section of camouflage netting was on the concrete apron in front of one of
the nine-bay garages in the operations area. 0
29. (TSR) LTS S. All 12 LRPs at this base were observed. On two white circular markings had
been installed on/applied to the concrete block road approximately behind two LRPs (Figure

white circular marks approximate the position of a missile canister erected by a TEL on the new
hardpoints outside of MOB 2. On one set of possible dark-toned marks from a TEL were
observed in front of the four-bay building in the original calibration area. TEL leveling-jack im-
prints/dark-toned marks have been periodically observed in this area since November 1976. In addition,

Small-solid ICBM Launch Test Sites
30. (S/WN) Plesetsk ICBM Launch Test Site 21. LTS 21 is a dual-pad soft launch site that supported
flight testing of the SS-X-15 and SS-16. In 1972, a 48-meter-long framework structure was built on the east
pad and 'pad extension to conceal SS-16 flight test activities. During the SS-16 flight test program, 24
meters of the framework were normally covered by eight 3-meter-long roof sections and the remainder
of the structure was canvas covered. A possible erector and a possible launch stand were recently
identified within the framework structure (Figure 16). The possible erector appears to consist of a cradle-
like framework approximately mounted on an undetermined type 25X1
of chassis. The possible launch stand is a truncated cone with a top diameter of approximately 1 meter, a
base diameter of approximately 3 meters, and is approximately 3 meters high. The possible launch stand
was on a probable concrete launch padFffrom the front of the framework structure. Reanalysis 25X1
of imagery acquired of LTS 21 since the termination of the SS-16 flight test program in April 1976 indicates
that the launch stand and erector were probably stored within the framework structure through August
1981. During this time, the possible launch stand was normally positioned 21 meters from the front of the
framework structure. Because of the extensive concealment measures used during the SS-16 flight test
program, it has not been possible to; prove that the possible launch stand and erector were present
during that time. However, it is probable that this equipment was present at LTS 21 during the SS-16 flight
test program, which suggests that some SS-16 missiles may have been launched from a stand rather than a
TEL. It has not been possible to determine whether missiles tested from a stand at LTS 21 would be
launched to the Kamchatka impact area or would be launch phase (popup) tested. Although final site
cleanup has not been completed and the canvas has not been replaced over the framework structure on
the eastern pad, LTS 21 could be ready to support the small-solid flight test program during late 1982.
31. (S/WN) Plesetsk ICBM LTS 23 and Collocated LTS 24 At LTS 23 25X1
and LTS 24, final site cleanup appeared to be underway. During June, silo/GSE compatibility testing was
observed. On the can/cap silo loader was positioned at the silo of LTS 23 and the can/cap 25X1
transporter was on the turnaround apron of LTS 24 (Figure 17). Similar activity was observed at these sites
during September 1981. During July through September, the area in front of theOSBG was 25X1
graded and a concrete block apron was installed. Also during that timeframe, several probable silo work
platforms were removed from the aprons of LTS 24. Based on activity observed during the reporting
period, LTS 23 and LTS 24 may be capable of supporting launches of the small-solid ICBM in the near
future.

Missile Handling Facility
32. (S/WN) Plesetsk Missile Handling Facility Q Modification/construction in the SS-
16 RIG continued at a steady pace. By the end of the reporting period, new concrete block access roads
and aprons were being installed and footings for an 18-meter-deep nine-bay garage were identified in
the modified SS-16 RIG. If construction continues at the current pace, modification could be completed
during late 1982. The SBG components that have been in open storage on the aprons of the SMRA since
appeared to remain in the same positions. In addition, the can/cap silo loader and transporter
remained under the shed-like extension to the modified SS-16 RIG building during most of the reporting
period. The only time they were not in the modified SS-16 RIG area was when they were at LTS 23 and 24
for silo/GSE compatibility testing,

38. (S/WN) In the support area at Konkovichi Mobile IRBM Base, a small C-shaped building of
undetermined function and size was in the midstage of construction near an existing large C-shaped
command and control building (Figure 18). However, the small C-shaped building is probably not for
command and control because it differs from the standard-type, small, C-shaped command and control
building at several mobile IRBM bases. The standard-type, small, C-shaped command and control
building is single story and has one long section and two short sections that have no irregular edges. In
contrast, the small C-shaped building under construction at Konkovichi is multistory and appears to have
three equally long sections that have some irregular edges. The construction of the small C-shaped
building began prior to
39. (S/WN) A large new building constructed during 1980 through 1982 near the Mozyr MRBM
Division Command Post/Bunker has been identified as a probable computer building. This building was
previously believed to be a headquarters/administration-type building, but additional analysis was
preempted by the discovery of identical buildings constructed during the same timeframe at Kartaly
ICBM Complex Command Post/Bunker 0 Vinnitsa SRF Army Command Post/Bunker/Hard
and Khmelnitskiy ICBM Complex Command Post/Bunker ~, Repetitive
coverage of the construction of the building at Kartaly revealed that each of the two floors in this
building has an unusual height of approximately 5 meters and the building is connected by cable to the
site control bunker. The unusual height of each floor in this building is believed to be an accommodation
for computers, which are generally large and require surrounding spaces for air conditioning and
electrical networks. In addition, the cable connection to the site control bunker indicates a command
and control association that is consistent with a missile commander's need for computer support.
40. (S/WN) The new regimental headquarters, previously identified at Kivertsy Mobile IRBM Base 2,
was in the midstage of construction on The ten-bay garage and three-story rectangular
headquarters/administration building were still under construction.
41, (S/WN) At Krolevets Mobile IRBM Base 1, the new regimental headquarters was in the late stage
of construction on 0 and consisted of an almost complete 11-bay garage, a three-story
headquarters/administration building under construction, two erected steel lattice towers, and several
open trenches.
42, (S/WN) At Lebedin Mobile IRBM Base 1, the new regimental headquarters was in the late stage
of construction on and consisted of a completed 11-bay garage, a command post bunker still
undergoing modifications, a possibly completed arch-roofed support bunker, two erected steel lattice
towers, and two possible horizontal dipole antennas.
43. (S/WN) The new regimental headquarters at Lutsk Mobile IRBM Base 1 was also in the late stage
of construction on 0 It consisted of a completed 11-bay garage, a completed three-story
headquarters/administration building, and two steel lattice towers on the ground beside excavations for
concrete bases.
44, (S/WN) The probable construction support area previously established in the eastern portion of
the Lutsk MRBM Regimental Headquarters Radio Communications Receiver/Bunker/Hard was aban-
doned between No modifications to the antenna field were detected. This
construction support area was probably a staging area for the dispersal of construction equipment to
Lutsk MRBM Launch Site 2 Owhich was recently converted to Lutsk Mobile IRBM Base 1.
