70. (Continued) Sete t t 4. Two fixed sites for 2200-nm, ballistic missiles are under con- struction in the Guanajay area near Havana. (See Figures 6-7.) Four | launchérs, two blockhouses, and underground propellant storage are being built at each site. Site 1 is considered to be in a mid-to-late stage of con- | struction and should be operational within six weeks. Site 2 is in an earlier stage of construction and could be operational between 15 and 30 Dec- ember 1962. There are no missiles or support equipment detectable within the Guanajay Area at the present time. | 5. An additional fixed site has been observed at Remedios in Eastern Cuba which is similar to those at Guanajay. This is probably a valid indicator of deployment of a second grouping of 2200-nm ballistic missiles. | 6. In addition to missiles, IL-28 light bomber aircraft with a combat radius of about 750 miles are also arriving in Cuba. Approximately 22 of these bombers, most still in crates, are now present. These are in addition to the force of about 40 MIG-21 fighters there. Nuclear Warheads 7. We believe that a nuclear warhead storage site is under con- struction adjacent to the more complete of the fixed missile launch sites near Guanajay. (See Figure 6.) Construction is proceeding at a high rate. This site could become operational at about the same time as the associated Launch Site 1. 8. A curved-roof building similar to that at Guanajay Site 1, but only about 35 by 67 feet has been observed at the newly identified possible missile site near Remedios, 9. Foundations of structures (approximately 60 by 35 feet) which may be intended to be future nuclear warhead storage facilities have been observed at the San Cristobal Sites 1 and 3 and at Sagua La Grande Site 1. The appearance of concrete arches nearby indicates that these buildings will be earth-covered. 237
