Manufacturer catalog
Russian ammunition industry describes Russia's state-linked ammunition production base: Rostec holding companies, Techmash and Technodinamika networks, specialist shell and explosive plants, and legacy cartridge factories that produce artillery projectiles, mortar rounds, tank and infantry-fighting-vehicle ammunition, rockets, small-caliber ammunition, aerial bombs, grenade rounds, and explosive materials.
1 weaponsThe sector is not one incorporated manufacturer. It is a national production network with Soviet-era plant lineages, state-defense-order work, and a large Rostec role. Rostec describes its weapons business as covering artillery systems, high-precision weapons, ammunition, small arms, armored vehicles, and other military equipment, and says almost half of Russia's state defense procurement program falls on the corporation.
Open-source coverage points to Techmash as the central ammunition holding inside this network. Rostec said Techmash was founded by the state corporation in 2011 and included 36 ammunition-industry enterprises in 2017. Ukraine's War & Sanctions database identifies NPK Techmash as a Rostec holding managed by Technodinamika and describes a product span that includes MLRS, artillery systems, tank and infantry-fighting-vehicle ammunition, small-caliber artillery ammunition, aerial bombs, grenade-launcher rounds, artillery shells, engineering ammunition, explosive devices, and other military products.
The production base expanded sharply after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Estonia's Foreign Intelligence Service assessed in its 2026 report that Russia's military-industrial complex increased artillery-ammunition production more than seventeenfold since 2021, reaching roughly 7 million shells, mortar rounds, tank and IFV rounds, and rockets in 2025. That assessment treats the figures as intelligence estimates, not public factory ledgers.

Rostec says Vladimir Putin signed the federal law creating the state corporation in November 2007, after which large parts of Russia's industrial assets were transferred into the new structure.

Rostec's history page says its companies faced the task of expanding production of the most demanded weapons and ammunition in 2022 and fulfilled state defense procurement ahead of schedule in many areas.

Estonia's Foreign Intelligence Service assessed that Russian artillery-ammunition output in 2025 reached about 7 million shells, mortar rounds, tank and IFV rounds, and MLRS rockets, including 3.4 million howitzer rounds and 2.3 million mortar rounds.

Russian ammunition production is partly opaque because state-defense-order quantities, plant assignments, and stockpile data are not consistently public. Sourcing therefore relies on official Rostec material for corporate structure and declared procurement emphasis, Estonian intelligence estimates for sector output, and reputable open-source reporting for plant-network context.
