X. 2,200-n.m,. Missile:
A. These sites are located at Guanajay, just west
of Havana. They are fixed sites, and we have
identified the eight launching pads normally
|
associated with similar sites in the USSR. We
have not yet seen the missiles.
B. These sites are still in fairly early stage of
| construction which we do not expect to be con-
pleted until some time in December.
C. We know less about the 2,200-mile missile, but
believe it to be also single-stage, using
storable liquid fuels and with an autonomous
guidance system. We estimate CEP at 1 1/2
nautical miles. Warhead will probably yield
3-5 megatons,.
D. There is new evidence of the beginning of con-
struction of what may be a new fixed four-pad
MRBM or IRBM missile site at Remedias, East of
Havana.
XI. We have no direct evidence that nuclear weapons are
now in Cuba -- and we are not likely to get any.
A. However, we are pretty sure that a facility
being constructed near the IRBM site at
Guanajay is a nuclear storage facility.
