Revda is an inspectable SLBM facility under the START-1 agreement. The United States and the Soviet Union signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) on 31 July 1991. When START entered into force on 05 December 1994, the signatories began to implement the Treaty's complex set of intrusive inspection and verification measures.

As part of START's verification provisions, each signatory was required to declare all facilities related to ICBMs, submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and heavy bombers. The former Soviet Union (FSU) has declared over five dozen START-inspectable sites in all categories, including five SLBM facilities and six submarine facilities.

The SS-N-20 Sturgeon SLBM was carried on the Typhoon Class SSBN. A three-stage, solid-fuel missile first deployed in 1981, the SS-N-20 can carry a large load of 10 MIRVs, it was given a START-II de-commissioning designation of RSM-52. During the height of the cold-war it was stored here and transported by rail to the missile loading dock at the southern end of Lapadnaya Litsa.
