Ya gotta love the word salad description of the photos.
"These unauthorized photos were taken by a tourist who, as he said in his e-mail to us, "sneaked out of the tourist area while visiting the Morro fortress" in Havana, Are these missiles operational? He says that he is 100% positive that they are. "They are behind the back wall. There is a military base there, as I saw jeeps approaching, I got the hell out of there pronto. It is a huge crime to photo things like that," he said. Maybe someone who is familiar with these type of missiles can identify them for us and provide information as to their range."
Yes, but probably not in such close proximity. That makes this either a museum, like another poster suggested, or a maintenance depot. I'm inclined to think the former...
My thought exactly. It's a museum.
You would not keep an operational SCUD outdoors for long periods of time.
On the website they ask about the range of those missiles and I would say somewhere between 6 and 10 feet to the ground.

Right on. Our responses #7 & #13 were very similar.
