For the record, here is what I have at each field per the 1991 START I treaty, as reflected in FAS, Global Security, and a conglomeration of sources. If anyone has any additions or modifications, feel free to pass them along; I strive for accuracy. The overall ICBM numbers are much lower today due to treaty reductions and a general reshuffling of forces.
SS-11...420 total in operation in 1989 at Bershet (Perm), Drovyanaya, Kostroma, Kozel'sk, Gladkaya (Krasnoyarsk), Pervomaysk, Svobodny, Teykovo, and Yasnaya (Olovyannaya).
SS-13...60 in operation at Yoshkar Ola.
SS-17...150 operational; 80 at Kostroma, 70 at Yedrovo.
SS-18...308 operational; 30 at Aleysk, 64 at Dombarovskiy, 52 at Imeni Gastello (Derzhavinsk), 46 at Kartaly, 64 at Uzhur, and 52 at Zhangiz Tobe. NOTE:the Imeni Gastello and Zhangiz Tobe fields are located in Kazahkstan and were among the first to be decommissioned under START I, which coincided with the fall of the USSR and the independence of Kaz, so those sites are no longer operational. Another interesting point is that when START Treaty officials looked into a Kazahkstan SS-18 silo to check out a missile, they found it so badly corroded and so much ground water had leaked into the silo that the thing would have never lifted off...one wonders if a massive launch had been ordered, how many ICBMs would have actually left Russian airspace after being built and maintained in the "Workers Paradise"...
SS-19...304 operational; 90 at Derazhnaya (Khmelnitsky), 60 at Kozel'sk, 44 at Pervomaysk, 110 at Tatishchevo. Peak deployment was 360 missiles, with the Derazhnaya and Kozel'sk numbers remaining the same but 90 at Pervomaysk and 120 at Tatishchevo, but 46 SS-19 silos at Perv and 10 at Tat were upgraded and the -19s pulled and SS-24s installed. Additionally, Derazhnaya and Pervomaysk are located in the Ukraine and those missiles were decommissioned in the early 90s after the USSR fell.
SS-24...92 operational; 12 rail-based each at Gladkaya (Krasnoyarsk), Kostroma, and Bershet (Perm); another 46 silo-based at Pervomaysk (replacing earlier SS-19s) and 10 silo-based at Tatishchevo (also replacing earlier -19s). See above in the SS-19 description for the fate of -24s in the Ukraine.
SS-25...360 operational in 9-missile road-mobile regiments; 27 each at Drovyanaya, Gladkaya, Irkutsk, Kansk, Novosibirsk, Teykovo, and Yoshkar Ola; 36 at Lida in Belarus; 45 each at Mozyr in Belarus, Nizhniy Tagil (Verkhanaya Salda), and Yurya. The 81 total SS-25s based in Belarus were withdrawn to Russia after 1991 and regiments re-established elsewhere in Russian territory.
To summarize, in 1989 there were a total of 1,694 Soviet ICBMs listed as being in operational status; 420 SS-11s, 60 SS-13s, 150 SS-17s, 308 SS-18s, 304 SS-19s, 92 SS-24s, and 360 SS-25s.
Hope this helps.
