A new batch of summer uniforms for participants in a special military operation (SVO) will be produced by Gardarika, with a contract value of 10,628 rubles and 15 kopecks per set. The company has been identified as specializing in sewing summer uniforms for personnel operating under state defense directives, rather than broader manufacturing scopes.
Officials from the defense ministry confirmed that Gardarika will focus exclusively on supplying summer uniforms. The announced contract price for a complete set stands at 10,628 rubles and 15 kopecks, underscoring the procurement arrangement tied to the ongoing operational needs of varying defense units.
Earlier statements from Artem Stepanenko, founder of the Experimental Design Bureau Gardarika, indicated that the redesigned uniform would be ready within a week for deployment to the army involved in the special military operation area. He emphasized that the new design would undergo rapid testing and acceptance procedures to ensure it meets field requirements.
According to the same source, the initial batch, bearing the informal designation “seven colors,” is slated for acceptance testing as soon as production completes. Gardarika operates under state defense orders, with the uniform being manufactured in the Yaroslavl region. The production team comprises about fifty workers engaged in the sewing and quality control processes, coordinating closely with defense authorities to meet specifications and timelines. The project illustrates how military apparel modernization often follows a structured pipeline from design and production to field testing and official approval, reflecting ongoing efforts to standardize gear across units in the field. This update provides context on procurement practices, regional manufacturing capacity, and the roles of private entities in supporting defense operations. (Source: Defense Ministry)
