74. (Continued) POR-SRCRET™ \20, 21 oct 62 t ! | ! | i | . X. 2,200-n.m, Missile: H 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 com- pleted until some time in December. 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 Havane. 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. -10- POP-SECRET
