According to Sergey Chemezov, director general of the Rostec State Corporation, Kurganmashzavod completed the armored vehicle defense mission for the special operation on time.
The factory produces vehicles such as the now legendary BMP-3, one of the best infantry fighting vehicles in the world, as well as the airborne BTR-MDM and BMD-4M.
Kurganmashzavod is one of the country’s leading manufacturers of modern armored personnel carriers, as well as infantry fighting vehicles and other equipment. Supplying the army with the vehicles needed for the special operation largely depends on its performance.
Today, it (the factory) successfully operates as part of the High-Precision Systems, provides the armored vehicles required for the SVO, timely completed the state defense order for the supply of BMP-3, amphibious BTR-MDM and BMD- 4M in 2022,” the general manager said in an interview with RIA Novosti State Corporation “Rostec” Sergey Chemezov.
Previously, Kurganmashzavod was part of the Tractor Plants group, which almost went bankrupt due to the many non-core assets scattered across the country.
We literally saved the legendary factory from closure and bankruptcy,” says Chemezov.
But after the transfer of the plant to High-Precision Complexes by the Rostec State Corporation in 2018, the plant turned into one of the most important enterprises of the Russian Defense Complex.
