ABM Launch Complex E05 is one of the original GALOSH complexes deployed in the early 1960s to defend Moscow. During mid-to-late 1979, eight of its 16 aboveground GALOSH launchers were removed. Initial construction of ABM silos was observed on No indication of this construction was observed in late November 1981. The eight launch silos under construction at this complex are positioned di­ rectly behind the removed launcher positions and are evenly spaced 100 meters apart. Other components at the site include the eight remaining aboveground GALOSH launchers, two TRY ADD radar sites, and two large support buildings under construction in the center of the launch site.

ABM Launch Complex E24 is one of the original GALOSH complexes. Eight of its 16 launchers were removed during mid-to-late 1979, and initial construction of ABM silos was later observed. No evidence of silo construction was present in late October 1980. The eight silos under construction at this complex are positioned beside the former GALOSH positions rather than behind them (as at E05), resulting in uneven spacing (from 100 meters to 164 meters). Other components within the facility include the eight GALOSH launchers, two TRY ADD radars, and two large support buildings under construction [as of late 1983] in the center of the site.

This operational ABM launch complex is one of the original Moscow ABM complexes. It contains a launch area, an operational support facility, and an adjacent housing and support area. Construction of the complex began in June 1965 and was completed by December 1968. The launch area consists of two TRY ADD facilities and eight launch positions. Eight of the complex's 16 GALOSH launchers were dismantled and removed in mid-1979, but no activity suggesting future silo construction had yet been observed as of late 1983.

This operational ABM launch complex is the fourth of the original GALOSH ABM complexes. Like the others, it contains a launch area, an operational support facility, and an adjacent housing and support area. Construction of the complex began in April 1962 and was completed by August 1968. The launch area was constructed over the northern end of Moscow SAM Site E33-1 and consists of two TRY ADD radar facilities and eight GALOSH launch positions. As at the other E­ring sites, eight of the 16 above-ground launchers were dismantled and removed in mid-1979, but, as at E31, no activity indicating future silo construction had been observed as of late 1983.

This facility, 11.5 nm northeast of Moscow, is a former SA-2 SAM launch site. Activity indicating conversion of this site to an ABM complex was first observed in January 1983, when four silos were identified under construction; actual construction probably started sometime in late 1982. Twelve silos were under construction at this site in two launch lines roughly at right angles. Four of them were not initially counted against the ABM treaty because of the early stage of their construction. Other components of the site include footings for a new security building and two support buildings under construction as of late 1983.

This facility was converted from an SA-2 SAM site to an ABM complex. It was an active SA-2 launch site in April 1982, when realignment of the security fence line was under way. The new fence is the same type being used at all the new ABM sites and consists of large panels that provide both visual and physical security. All of the SA-2 equipment had been removed by July 1982, and extensive grading was under way. On the most recent coverage available, there were still no indications of silo construction as of late 1983. However, a new site security building had been completed, identical in size and appear nce to the new security buildings constructed at the other new silo sites, and two large support buildings under construction in the center of the site appear to be identical to new buildings at the other new silo sites. Before any silo construction can take place at this site, some aboveground GALOSH launchers elsewhere will have to be removed to avoid violations of the ABM treaty.

This former SA-2 SAM site had been undergoing conversion to an ABM silo complex since March 1981. As total of 12 equally spaced ABM silos were under construction, five on the eastern side and seven on the northern side of the site. A new site security building has been constructed, and construction was in progress as of late 1983 on two large support buildings in the central part of the site. Other components of the site include one flat-roofed administration building and two barracks.

This ABM silo site was converted from an inactive SA-2 SAM site. It contains 16 ABM silos in various stages of construction in a C-configuration along the east, north, and west sides of the site. A new security building has been constructed at the site entrance, and as of late 1983 the two large support buildings common to all the Moscow silo sites were under construction in the center of the site. Silos were first identified under construction at this site in late February 1981. There was no evidence of construction on earlier coverage in October 1980.

This site is 10 nautical miles (nm) north-northwest of Pushkino and 25.5 nm north of Moscow. It is 1,000 meters north-northeast of the Pushkino Phased Array Radar. The site consists of 12 ABM silos in two launch lines at right angles, a site security building, and two support buildings. The site is unique in being the only ABM silo deployment site built from scratch; all the other silo sites at Moscow were constructed at existing SAM or ABM facilities. C02 was the first of the new silo sites and was initially observed in December 1980. The anomalous structure at CO2 has some silo-like characteristics (it is numbered "Position 13" for this reason), but it is probably not an ABM launch silo. This structure is isolated from the launch silos and consists of a possible coring containing a vertical cylinder, possibly constructed of facing blocks, that extends slightly above ground level. The depth of the coring and cylinder is unknown; however, no significant excavation was observed in this area, suggesting that the structure is not of launch-silo depth.
