3.(S/D) ANALYST'S COMMENTS: NOVOGRAD VOLYNSKIY AL 2 IS PROBABLY
INVOLVED WITH THE TROOP TESTING OF PROTOTYPE VEHICLES. A NEW
SOVIET TANK WAS RECENTLY IDENTIFIED IN THE DIVISIONAL 25X1
MAINTENANCE AREA (SEE NPIC IAC 153 FOR 13 APRIL 1982). THE
IDENTIFICATION OF THE NOVOGRAD-01-AFV INDICATES THAT IT HAD BEEN
SHIPPED HERE FOR TROOP TESTING. LOOSE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT WERE
IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS ON THE LOWBED TRAILER AND
WHEN IT WAS IN THE DISPLAY AREA. THIS SUGGESTED THAT IT HAD
JUST ARRIVED AND HAD NOT.YET BEEN FITTED OUT. 25X1
