Approved For Release 200MXI A RDP79T00429A000300050018-3 OCI No. 0747/63 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY Office of Current Intelligence 4 February 1963 CURRENT INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Warhead of the Coastal Defense Missile in Cuba 1. The coastal defense cruise missile in Cuba is a modified version of the Soviet AS-1 air-to-. surface missile, which was developed to carry a con- ventional warhead of about 2200 pounds. In its role in Cuba,as a surface-to-surface anti-shipping wea- pon, we believe this missile carries a conventional warhead of about this weight. 2. A weight of 2200 pounds would permit the retro-fitting of a nuclear warhead, but there is no evidence that this has been done for this weapon in either role.
