What is known about the "Machine-Building Design Bureau"
Research and Production Corporation "Machine-Building Design Bureau" is one of the leading Russian design research and production centers in the field of military equipment. The plant, headed by Serhii Pitikov, produces Kinzhal and Iskander missiles.
As the mass media wrote earlier, part of the goods needed for the production of "Daggers" are imported from Europe. KB Mashinobuduvannya receives heat and cold chambers of the Espec company from the Moscow-based Ostek-Test LLC, which the latter imports from Poland.
Not the first explosion
As the agency writes, as a result of the attack on "Machine-Building Design Bureau" on the night of November 11, the facades of two buildings of the enterprise were damaged and windows were broken.
Intelligence officers of Ukraine may be involved in the recent night explosions at the Kotovsky Gunpowder Plant in Tambov and "Machine-Building Design Bureau" in the city of Kolomna.
