Russia's defense production base is not a single company. It combines state-owned corporations, legacy Soviet design bureaus and plants, export intermediaries, and specialized ammunition, vehicle, aircraft, air-defense, electronics, and shipbuilding enterprises. Rostec describes itself as a state corporation established under Federal Law No. 270-FZ and says it includes more than 800 companies in 60 regions, with arms and military equipment manufacturing among its lines of business.
Rosoboronexport, part of Rostec, is Russia's sole state-owned intermediary for export and import of military and dual-use products, technologies, and services. Its public material says it accounts for more than 85 percent of Russian arms exports and promotes Russian military products in cooperation with Russian defense enterprises and organizations. That makes Rosoboronexport useful context for export-marketed systems, but it should not be read as the physical manufacturer of every system it lists.
Open-source attribution for Russian-origin munitions and smaller weapons often stops at country, plant, or proof-mark level. METIS lists the OG-15V as a Russian Federation and USSR manufactured Soviet-era 73 mm HE-fragmentation round, while a U.S. ATF technical notice identified a GP-30 launcher as a Russian article manufactured at Tula Factory based on observed markings. That national-level production context is separate from more precise manufacturer names such as named design bureaus, plants, and state corporations when sources support them.

This is a national production-network label rather than a single legal entity with one headquarters, ownership register, or plant history. Headquarters and map coordinates are omitted because the available sources describe multiple state corporations, export bodies, design bureaus, and plants rather than one headquarters for all Russian Federation producers. Conflict-use claims remain in weapon records.
