KBM Kolomna is the Kolomna-based Russian missile design and production enterprise formally known as JSC Research and Production Corporation Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering. Its public record is tied to Soviet and Russian mortar, anti-tank missile, man-portable air-defense, active-protection, coastal-defense, and tactical missile programs, including Malyutka, Strela-2, Shturm, Iskander, and related support vehicles.
6 weaponsThe enterprise began in April 1942 as a special design bureau for mortar and recoilless-rifle work in Kolomna. Public histories describe a postwar shift toward guided weapons from 1956, followed by major Soviet-era anti-tank and air-defense missile families and later operational-tactical missile systems.
In current Russian corporate structures, KBM is reported as part of High Precision Systems within Rostec. Government and sanctions databases identify the legal entity at Oksky Avenue 42 in Kolomna and describe it as a research and production center for mortars, MANPADS, anti-tank systems, tactical missile systems, and related missiles.
