INTRODUCTION
This report was prepared in response to
CIA/ORR requirements C-RR4-81,929 and C-
RR4-81,929 (Supplement 1) for specific men-
suration, and for a description of recent con-
struction activity observed on photog-
raphy at the Leningrad Northwest and North-
east Probable AMM Launch Complexes. The

ports. 1/ 2/

photography revealed that earth
mounding of the Probable Control Center at the
Northwest Complex had progressed since
The roof is completely covered and
appears gray in tone. Its western wall extends
above the roof level and an entrance is located
on the northern side of the mounded structure
(Figure 3). The area adjacent to the west at
the Probable Control Center has been further
leveled since and now appears smooth
surfaced and is also gray in tone.
No change is apparent in the elevated struc-
tures at the outrigger positions northeast and,
southwest of the Probable Control Center.
Activity of an undetermined nature has
occurred in the vicinity of the Site Control Build-
ing at Launch Site A. No further changes or
additions are discernible within the Launch Area
of the complex.
Distances from this centrally located area
to the centers of the launch sites are includet
in a schematic drawing (Figure 6).

50 feet high has been erected since
just northwest of the Support Area. The entire
Electronic Area is situated on terrain at a higher
elevation than the Support Area and the base
of the new mound.
Additional new developments in the vicinity
of the Probable Complex Control Center at the
Northeast Complex since include the
following: a northwest-southeast road approxi-
mately 300 feet east of the Probable Control
Center has been improved and extended to a
point approximately 600 feet northeast of the
Center terminating at an area of new ground
scarring; 2 new small structures are located
along this road, one, L-shaped, is approximately
300 feet east-northeast of the Center; 2 additional
new small structures are located between the
Center and the southeast outrigger.
Purpose of the new construction activity
at the Northeast Complex cannot be established
on the basis of current photography. There
is a strong possibility that an arrangement of
positions is under construction equating to those

This report is considered a partial response
to NPIC Project 11799/64. That portion per-
taining to CIA/OSI requirement C-SI4-81,858
for updated line drawings showing recent chrono-
logical development of the 3 Leningrad Probable
AMM Launch Complexes will be the subject of
a separate NPIC report.
