ICBM -- TYURA TAM
A critical target area bearing on the missile question is
TYURA TAM, coverage of which is now twenty months old. Today the
suspected second launch site there with its hooked rail line is probably
complete with telltale appurtenances which may suggest deployment
schemes. Training may well be going on in preparation for deployment.
The out-sized launch pad exceeds the requirements for launch of any
ICBM or earth satellite vehicles extant. Coverage of the rangehead
could give us valuable leads or outright evidence of their plans and
capabilities in the ICBM field, Coverage of instrumentation points in
the down-range area could be extremely valuable.
