RFI# 803)



[   (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(5)]



3A.  DIA ASSESSES THAT IZ LIKELY HAS A CHEMICAL WARFARE (CW) 

warhead for the frog, although we have no direct evidence of such 

a warhead.  DIA assesses that IZ is likely to have a CW warhead 

for its SILKWORMS.  CW warheads would be mated to FROGS in a 

manner very similar to the way IZ mates CW warheads to its SCUD 

type missiles.  DIA would expect that personnel performing the 

mating operations of these warheads would be outfitted in 

protective clothing and that there would be some sort of 

decontamination vehicle in the immediate vicinity.



3B:  CW warheads are probably mated to SCUDs at the SCUD 

production facility.  Mating of the CW warheads to FROGs would 

most probably take place at the facility which produces the FROG 

rocket body.  DIA has no evidence that any mating of a SSCUD 

missile CW warhead has been done at Samarra, the facility at which 

the chemical is probably filled into the SCUD CW warhead.  If FROG 

warheads have been filled with CW, it most likely would have been 

done at Samarra.
