1 weapon systems

Kurgan is the catalog's normalized manufacturer facet for Kurganmashzavod, the Kurgan-based machine-building plant publicly known in Russian as АО «Курганмашзавод». The company's own site describes it as the largest machine-building complex in the Zauralye region and says it produces high-mobility tracked vehicles and forging-and-casting products.

For the built-by archive, this profile keeps the plant's public legal and trade names under one builder entry so the catalog can group Kurgan-linked weapons and vehicles without splitting the record across spelling variants. It also preserves the company's current Rostec / High Precision Systems ownership context.
