NEW PROBABLE SA-X-10 RESUPPLY TRANSPORTER, USSR
(TSR)
(TSR) A new probable resupply
transporter for the SA-X-10 strategic
surface-to-air missile (SAM) system* has
been identified at two facilities in the USSR
(Figure 1)
that the transporter is being produced at the
Orel Road Machinery and, Missile Sunnort
Equipment (MSE) Plant
and has apparently been deployed for troop
training at the Kapustin Yar SAM Firing
Range welve of the new
transporters were observed at Orel for the
first time At
Kapustin Yar (Figure 4), eight of the new
transporters were seen for the first time on
14 December in an SA-X-10 equipment
storage area.
(TSR) The new probable SA-X-10
resupply transporter at Orel and Kapustin
Yar is approximately 13.0 meters long and
Although it is similar in ap-
pearance and size to the longer version of
the basic SA-5 transporter, major dif-
ferences are discernible. These differences
include a possible winch attachment and a
box, possibly for hydraulics, mounted on
the front third of the new transporter and a
short extension to the rear end. The center
portions of both transporters appear to be
identical when seen without special
mounting brackets, rails, or canister storage
racks. The new transporter will probably
carry four SA-X-10 missiles in canisters
stacked in pairs within a specialized detach-
able storage rack (Figure 5).
(TSR) Although a canister storage rack
has not been seen on the new probable SA-
X-10 resupply transporter, storage racks
with SA-X-10 canisters have been seen on
slightly modified SA-5 transporters at the
Sary-Shahan Missile Test Cente 25X1
. In addition, a sma 25X1
box was seen in front of the rack on these 25X1
transporters. Similar modified SA-5 25X1
transporters have also been seen carrying
probable SA-X-10 canister storage racks at
the Feodosi a Naval Missile Su ort
