NOTICE
This supplement updates and amplifies previous reports. Emphasis is’
placed on the READINESS status, construction pace and any significant
changes at the offensive missile sites in Cuba. This report is based -
primarily on preliminary analysis of the 25 October low-altitude photog-
raphy, portions of which arrived during the preparation of this S report (see
Figure 1).
SUMMARY
1. The 25 October photography of four. MRBM sites shows continued
rapid construction activity at each site. This activity apparently continues
to be directed toward achieving a full operational capability as’soon as
possible. Camouflage and canvas covering of critical equipment is also
continuing. As yet there is no evidence indicating any intention to move or
dismantle these sites.
2. There is one change in the estimated dates of operational capability.
San Cristobal MRBM Site 2 is estimated to achieve a full operational capa-~
bility on 26 October instead of 25 October, probably as a result of the heavy
rain that has recently hit this site (see Figure 2),
3. No additional missiles, missile transporters, or erectors have been
identified (see Table 1).
4. No new missile sites have been identified,. although continued
analysis of previous photography has revealed some road improvement
‘activity in the Remedios area which is considered indicative of plans for
the second IRBM site estimated for this area.
5. The three Soviet ships suspected of being possible ballistic missile
carriers continue their eastward course towards the USSR.
