The missile cou1E1“be an adaptation ot
e Soviet SS-3 or Soviet SS-4. The payloads and
ranges for those systems are:
SS-3 . . . . . . . . . . 2,800'_'.'300 lbs . . . . . . . . . 603 nm
SS-4 . . . . . . . . . . 3,200i500 lbs . . . . . . . . . 1,020 nm
However, because of the length of the test range,
the collaterally reported MRBM range of the Chi-
nese missile, Chinese military requirements in the
Far East, and the size of the Chinese launch pad
at SCTMTC, we believe that the Chinese missile
being developed is probably an adaptation of the
SS-4.

tical, Land-Based)—Chin‘a is believed to have
received some Soviet 150-mile range missile systems
prior to mid-1960. Vehicular mounted missiles
possibly were fired to compatible ranges at
SCTMTC during the first half of 1960. (b)(1)

val)—The submarine detected on 7 November
1964 at Dairen is similar in outward appearance
to the Soviet G-class submarines capable of launch-
ing the SS-N-4 missile when surfaced. Initial con-
struction more than likely began about mid-1962
in the Dairen shipyard, and the vessel probably
