(TSR) Six KASP-B components (Figures 1-4) were identified at this plant) These include a canvas-covered nose section, a horizon- tal and a vertical stabilizer, a probable fuselage and fuselage component, and a probable wing section. (TSR) the nose section was first observed near a road in front of the POL transfer facility (Figure 1). The nose section was still there 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 (TSR) The horizontal stabilizer and the vertical stabilizer (Figure 2) were first seen on photography when both were on an apron near the seaplane ramp area. 25X1 The vertical stabilizer was moved to an open work area 25X1 alongside a hangar/workshop building where it has remained. The horizontal stabilizer was moved off the apron and has not been observed since. 25X1 (TSR) The probable fuselage was first identified 25X1 =; however, a review of previous coverage revealed that a framework, possibly for the 25X1 KASP-B fuselage, had been in front of the hangar/workshop buildin 25X1 the partially assembled probable KASP-B fuselage was again in the 25X1 hangar/workshop area. A probable fuselage component, similar in shape to the fuselage air- frame, was identified 25X1 (TSR) A probable wing section of the KASP-B was seen in front of the hangar/workshop building on coverage Figure 4) and was still there 25X1 (TSR) A partially assembled and canvas-covered vehicle (Figure 5), designated at that time the TAG-C, had been observed .n the same work area. After 25X1 comparing the TAG-C and its canvas-covered components with a complete KASP-B and the six KASP-B components at Taganrog, it is now believed that they are the same vehicle. (TSR) If the assembly of these KASP-B components progresses at the same pace as the assembly of the first KASP-B (TAG-C), the vehicle could be ready for testing in early-to- mid-1978.
