1. This study of 14 military aircraft storage airfields in the USSR
(Figure 1) is intended as an analytical aid for assessing the Soviet capability
for rapid deployment of large numbers of aircraft required for a buildup or a
crisis. The highest aircraft storage counts prior to 1 January 1968 are compared
with the latest totals observed at these fields. This comparison provides a
means of assessing aircraft logistics that were possibly related to political
and military events of the past several years (Table 1).
2. The total of latest counts of military aircraft stored at-the 14 air-
fields was 1095, of which 238 were BEAGLE bombers and 1,157 were fighters.
These counts with one exception were derived from the latest or best 1970
KEYHOLE photography through April 1970 The counts by type of
aircraft are as follows:
