Here a list of all Russian Nuclear InterContinental Ballistic Missle launch sites, which I managed to find. It includes launch silos and hangars for the mobile launchers. Some of them are at hi resolution.
All currently active and some recently closed divisions at 11.2006.
All information was taken from a open sourses:
http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/russia/facility/icbm/index.html,
http://russianforces.org,
http://rbase.new-factoria.ru,
and does not contain any military or state secret.
Thanks krenote, SOC and BillRobinson for several placemarks.

Now most of them are at high resolution!
Check Novosibirsk sites. You'll see Topol mobile launchers near their hangars.
PS: Too late... Those images have been changed...

HI Eugene,
Very nice post indeed ! I took the liberty to rearrange some :
- theater missile with INF datas and units information
- ICBM with START 1 datas and units information
- ABM
- early warning radars
and add some silo (Tatishevo, Kozelsk)

Exellent!
But you are using a very old data about ICBM number and types in divisions. (I saw SS-11 only in museum  ) Check my updated file for this info, or see here .
Also:
- Kapustin Yar is only a missle testing area. It doesn't contain active ICBMs.
- Why do you call them "Soviet" (ABM, ICBM, ets)? They are "Russian" for the last 16 years.

Just spotted those, Novosibirsk 3 and 2 have all their SS-25 launchers sitting outside of their storage buildings in plain view. I wonder if they are armed ...

Most likely.
Seems like it's some maintenance procedure or exercise for personnel.
Anyway, they doesn't need to leave their buildings to make a launch. A roof of the buildigs can be opened. (By the way, you can see this opened roof at imagery.)

Hello,
Do you know anyhing about SS-19 Sites in the Ukraine?
I've read there is a SS-19 Silo Museum in the area of Perwomaisk - Kirovograd. That must have been a former SS-19 deployment area.
Regards,
Michel
PS the picture, is that a hatch of a SS-19 Silo?

Yes, in Soviet times there was about 180 SS-19 silos in Ukraine at Pervomaysk and Khmel'nitskiy areas. Now all of them are destroyed (exept those one in Museum).
In my post I've marked only active and recently closed sites.

I know this is an old post. But people reading this may have info I need (would like ) There are plenty of sources on the web that have plans to Titan, Minuteman, etc silos. I'm looking for the plans to the FSU/era silos or other underground facilities...can anyone help? doktajimmy@hotmail.co.uk

Enclosed are the 52 silos of Dombarovskiy, sorted by regiment. I did not find the 12 additional silos (only some clues) that were active in 1991 (Start I figures)
Does anyone has additional map of closed former russian ICBM fields ?

Hi EugeneF! Thousand of freaks are waiting impatiently for some High Res Updates of certain areas in Russia...and what the hell happened? Some idiots updated the "wrong region": Novosibirsk area got new stuff...and that means the fantastic peep show at two SS-25 bases showing their full 9 missile equipment outside the sliding roof garages are gone now 
Instead we have now some single launchers and undefined auxilliary equipment at other bases. Cheers from Rambo

Yea... It's sad...  It was a excellent show...

Seems like it's not a launchers (at the base), it's just a 2 empty TLC's.
There are a lot of auxiliary vehicles that accompany launchers during patrol. Guard, mobile command post, communications, supply, ets...

I think this one is a real launcher. But looks like he is without the tip of the container which is about 22m.
BTW: I included the overlay of Zhuklino which was last posted by Krzysztof. I raised that question already in the "military moderated" but that damned thread don't like me (and the opposite).
On that picture you see the "SOC grey belt" in a better resolution. I think there are not eight but nine silos in it. Would you agree?
I read that it was originally intended to deploy eight missiles on each of the "big four" sites (32msl + 68 SH-8). But only two were realized. But obviously the grand total was not 16 but 18....well, they are closed anyway now. Cheers

Hi!
I've found some old silos at the former Imeni Gastello (Derzhavinsk) ICBM base (Kazakhstan.
ICBM type: R-36M (SS-18 Satan)
Enjoy!

The site in Kolosovo is now in high-res.
There are hundreds of vehicles parked in it, seems like either a depot or a graveyard.

You was sadly mistaken about destroyed silos near Kursk, this is
water intake structures near Seym river.

Nice collection. I'm impressed.
I was struck that the SS-18 silos are about 8 km (5 miles) apart. to ensure any single warhead will only take one silo out at a time (assuming a direct hit).
The whole complex is huge - over 120 km across.

There is an interesting secure complex not marked near Engles. It has the appearance of a support facility for mobile launchers but I'm only speculating since ICBM facilities are not my specialty. Also, looks like there is a very secure weapons storage facility associated with the air base itself since you can trace a road back to the airfield. Here are the coordinates:
Unkonwn Secure Facility: 51°11'3.70"N 46° 1'1.92"E
Weapons Storage?: 51°25'15.27"N 46°15'30.27"E
Cheers.

first one is a facility for mobile rocket launchers as ss-20 or newer versions, maybe not in active service
and the second could be a storage facility or something, i ithink ...

Neither fas nor russianforces.org says about the presence of the active mobile launchers here. Moreover, nobody will "put all eggs at one basket", i.e. collect all launchers at one place, so they can be easily destroyed by single blast...
