a destroyer-launched cruise anti- |
‘ship homing missile launched from ‘
30 foot inclined rails;. With
destroyer radar, the effective. sys<
tem range 1s 20 to 30 nm, With
the assistance of an air controller,
the system range can be extended
to 130' nm. This system could be
installed at a shore site.
a Komar elass patrol craft-launched
eruise anti-ship homing nissile,
launched from inclined rails 25 to
30 feet long. With the Komar radar,
the effective system range is 10
to 18 nm. This system could also
be installed at a shore site,
Eight KOMARS have been transferred
to Cuba.
the Mmissile-in-a -bottle", first
shown in the 1961 Moscow 7 November
parade, This missile is launched
from an inclined ramp within a tube
mounted on a large four axle truck,
We know nothing of its guidance
system, The missile probably has
a range of about 150 nm, but pos-
sibly it could be as much as 300
nm, This system could be installed
at a fixed site.
Although none of the known Soviet cruise missile
systems precisely fit the facility at Banes, we believe.
it is more likely that the site is for a short range
25-30 NM missile system,
The Whiff radar ‘seen at the
site. has not been noted with known cruise missile systems
but could be used for target acquisition in this instal-
lation.
If the missile has an inertial guidance system
and a means of target acquisition, the range of the mis-
Sile at the Banes site could be extended to a range of
about 130 nm.
