The document was drafted by the Ministry of Economic Development in execution of the federal law On Insolvency (Bankruptcy).
The directive excludes the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant from Section II Public Liability Companies of the list (Position 153) and the subsidiary Izhevsk Mechanical Plant (Position 714). Currently, these companies do not meet the criteria for listing them among strategic enterprises, as stipulated by the federal law On Insolvency (Bankruptcy). Their production facilities and employees have been virtually relocated to the Kalashnikov Concern.
At the same time, the draft directive proposes including the Kalashnikov Concern, formerly known as the Izhmash Research, Development and Production Association, in Section II of the list.
The company, which manufactures weapons and military equipment, and fulfills contracts under military and technical cooperation programmes, is included in the register of unique suppliers of Russian-made weapons and military equipment and is also listed as a unique supplier of specific types of military products.
