For reference
JSC "VNIIR-Progress" is a leading Russian developer, manufacturer and supplier of software and hardware systems (systems) for relay protection and automation, automated process control systems, electronic component base (electronic modules), electrical products, radio-electronic products, as well as automation control systems and software and hardware systems.
The enterprise manufactures electromechanical drives, hydraulic systems and control units for heavy military equipment - from self-propelled howitzers to Iskander missile systems. Without these components, missiles will not be able to reach their target. The plant provides guidance, stabilization and flight control systems that are integrated into the strike platform at the assembly stage.
