Machine-Building Plant named after M. I. Kalinina is the Yekaterinburg-based Kalinin machine-building plant, a Russian public joint-stock industrial enterprise whose lineage runs from a nineteenth-century artillery workshop through Soviet Plant No. 8 and into guided air-defense equipment production. Its own history describes the post-1957 shift from barrel artillery to anti-aircraft guided missiles, while EU sanctions records identify the modern MZiK entity with combat equipment for S-300V and Buk-M1 air-defense systems.
1 weaponsThe plant traces its origin to an artillery workshop founded in Saint Petersburg in 1866, later moved to Podlipki and named for M. I. Kalinin before receiving the Plant No. 8 designation in 1928. During the Second World War the enterprise was evacuated to Sverdlovsk, now Yekaterinburg, where its official history says more than 20,000 guns were produced before the factory turned toward guided anti-aircraft missiles in the late 1950s.
In weapon-production context, the modern manufacturer is most relevant as part of the Soviet and Russian air-defense production base. Open system references connect the plant to the 2P25 self-propelled launcher used in Kub batteries, and EU records identify JSC MZIK as part of the Almaz-Antey air and space defence corporation with work on S-300V and Buk-M1 combat equipment. The company's public website currently emphasizes civil machinery, manufacturing capabilities, production services, and its long factory history.
The 2P25 is the self-propelled Kub launcher directly tied to the Machine-Building Plant named after M. I. Kalinina in open production references and in the connected catalog record.

Kub provides the parent system context for the plant's 2P25 launcher production, including the battery architecture of launch vehicles, 3M9 missiles, and 1S91 radar/control elements.

Current official public pages emphasize civil machinery, factory history, and production services. Defense-system context is therefore sourced to official sanctions records and open system references rather than to detailed current product pages from the plant.
