Malaya Sazanka
N 51°15' E128°01'

The Malaya Sazanka national-level nuclear weapons storage facility is in the Far East, south of Svobodnyy. Corona Missions 1115-1 of 14 September 1971; Mission 1112-1, 20 November 1970, and Mission 1108-1, 6 December 1969 indicate it contained 5-7 storage bunkers. The fence line, housing and maintenance areas are visible as well as the associated helicopter landing pad. This may be one of the older national-level storage sites, as it was photographed in a U-2 mission in 1958.
