No. 9 Uralmash Plant
No. 9 Uralmash Plant is the wartime Uralmash-derived artillery manufacturer in Yekaterinburg associated with Soviet and Russian towed guns, tank guns, and the D-20 gun-howitzer. Current sanctions and registry-style references identify it as a Russian military-industry company at Pervoy Pyatiletki Square.
1 weaponsNo. 9 Uralmash Plant traces to the 1942 formation of independent Artillery Plant No. 9 on the basis of the Uralmash Works artillery production site. Later reference and sanctions records use Plant No. 9, Zavod No. 9, and Joint Stock Company Plant N9 for the same Yekaterinburg artillery enterprise.
In this catalog, the builder page explains the industrial lineage behind the D-20 and the wider Plant No. 9 artillery family, including towed guns and tank-gun production. The catalog keeps the naming variants together so the page resolves the historical factory and its current legal identity.

Predecessors
Public English-language references use several spellings and legal forms, including Plant No. 9, Zavod No. 9, JSC Plant N9, and Artillery Plant No. 9. Sanctions listings are the clearest current references for address and legal-name context; no separate facility photo with clear reuse terms was verified, so the profile uses an openly licensed D-20 product photograph instead.
