Manufacturer catalog
FSUE GNPP Pribor refers to the Pribor small-caliber ammunition enterprise that evolved from Moscow Plant No. 398 into NPO Pribor and, later, JSC NPO Pribor named after S.S. Golembiovsky. Rostec describes the organization as Russia's sole developer and largest producer of small-caliber ammunition for automatic cannon and grenade-launcher rounds, including products associated with Balkan 40 mm grenade-launcher systems and Soviet/Russian 30x165 mm ammunition families.
1 weaponsPribor's public history starts with the November 1941 establishment of Plant No. 398 in Moscow to produce fuzes and assemble ammunition during the Second World War. Rostec says the plant began supplying the Red Army the following month and later changed names through KB-398, GSKB-398, NIIP, NPO Pribor, and Federal Scientific Production Center Pribor before the present JSC NPO Pribor named after S.S. Golembiovsky identity.
The manufacturer's continuing role is centered on artillery and grenade-launcher ammunition rather than complete vehicle or missile platforms. Rostec states that Pribor produces and supplies 23 mm and 30 mm barrel-artillery ammunition for Russian forces and export, plus 30 mm and 40 mm grenade-launcher rounds. Archived Pribor product pages list 23 mm and 30 mm aviation cartridges, while defense-industry sanctions material identifies 30 mm and 40 mm grenade-launcher rounds and the 6S19 Balkan automatic grenade-launcher complex as part of the company's product context.
Rostec identifies 6S19 Balkan as one of Pribor's recent 40 mm grenade-launcher developments and says a six-launcher, 4,000-round batch was produced in 2016 for experimental troop operation after state-test work.

Open sources use several Pribor names across Soviet, FSUE, and joint-stock periods. FSUE GNPP Pribor appears in older manufacturer attribution, while current sanctions and corporate references generally identify the successor legal entity as JSC NPO Pribor named after S.S. Golembiovsky. Short aliases such as NPO Pribor were not added because they are broader labels that can collide with Tecmash holding context.
