rambo54 said:S-225 System was tested at site 35, too.
Early tests (for example throw test with 20 degree erection on launch rails sitting over a ditch) happend here
Later on 5Ya26 or PRS-1 were tested in different type of silo constructions. This happend here (later on destroyed in order to comply with ABM Treaty -> max. of 12 launch facilities at each test polygon). Note one of the two (empty) Radar pads for 5K17 Type.
5Ya27 were tested on launch tables and erected by auxilliary equipment. Tables still present in the first picture and here (there were a total of three launch facilities for S-225 at site 35 before a new silo site was created for 53T6 which is still in service)

->Meteorit:
yes... I wrote article about S-225 - I think that now it's most full about this system
in google translate you can see and may be it will be interesting for you...

sorry for my English
Meteorit said:Do you happen to have anything on the S-550 system? It should be a mobile ABM system based on the S-225 designed around 1981.
DIMMI said:Thank you for good opinion about articles
Of course, we have article about many ABM systems - full list at right part of page - http://translate.google.ru/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=ru&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://militaryrussia.ru/blog/index-26.html

Trident said:So it has, in essence, a kill vehicle (which is unpowered, but has reaction controls) with a nuclear warhead?
rambo54 said:Well...really a kill vehicle? With a 40 to 50m accuracy after 40km?

BTW: the CIA stuff from 1971 is interesting. They mentioned a Galosh type thesis for "site 1" with two launchers (probably here 46.448840° 72.856182° and here 46.449264° 72.857086°).
They see site 2 (46.444994° 72.853857°) not as a silo site but as the site for "vertical launching tables" (that could be 5Ya27) - see CIA pdf page 9 §17. They guess that "site 4" (here 46.440215° 72.850114° and here 46.441378° 72.848136°) has a silo (I can figure no one at this site but at site 2 at 46.444651° 72.853296° -> Terraserver).
Generally their analysis is impressive regarding that it was 1971.
