An ammunition storage area is located
approximately 13.9 kilometers (km)north-north-
west of the Rostov Railroad Bridge over the Don
25X1A River (BE No - It is north of the
complex of small military installations located
within the city of Rostov, Headquarters of the
North Caucasus Military District (Figure 1).
The installation occupies approximately 375
acres and contains 31 buildings including 16
munitions storage, 2 possible munitions storage
under construction, 1 administration, 1 bar-
racks, 1 probable security, and 12 general pur-
pose. In addition, there are 6 guard towers at
the south, west, and north perimeters (Figures
2 and 3).
Comparative analysis re-
veals active construction within the installation.
One building has been removed, 2 have been
buried, and 2 appear to be under construction.
This ammunition storage area probably
serves Rostov Northwest Airfield, but may also
serve as munitions storage for the army in-
stallations within the city which generally lack
such a facility.
