Tactical Missiles Corporation

Tactical Missiles Corporation is a Russian state-owned defense holding centered on guided missiles, air-launched weapons, naval strike systems, air-to-air missiles, guided bomb kits, and related aerospace production.

5 weapons

Tactical Missiles Corporation, often abbreviated KTRV, was formed during Russia's early-2000s defense-industrial consolidation around the Zvezda-Strela missile enterprise in Korolyov. Public profiles describe it as a major Russian producer of high-performance guided missiles, air-, land-, and sea-based weapon complexes, and radio-electronic equipment. Sanctions and industry sources also identify the corporation through alternate English renderings, including Tactical Missile Armament Corporation.

The holding-company structure matters because several Russian missile design and production organizations sit inside or alongside the KTRV network. Raduga is tied to air-launched cruise missiles such as the Kh-32 and Kh-69, Vympel is tied to air-to-air weapons such as the R-37M/RVV-BD, and NPO Mashinostroyenia is publicly linked to the 3M22 Tsirkon hypersonic missile. Individual conflict-use claims remain sourced on the weapon records rather than inferred from corporate ownership.

Manufacturer History

  1. Corporation created by presidential decree

    Russian Presidential Decree No. 84 initiated the creation of Tactical Missiles Corporation around the Zvezda-Strela missile enterprise.

    Sources: GlobalSecurity.org KTRV Profile

  2. Zvezda-Strela reorganization completed

    The reorganization of State Research and Production Center Zvezda-Strela into Tactical Missiles Corporation was legally completed in March 2003.

  3. Holding expanded with missile and aviation enterprises

    A subsequent decree added enterprises including Raduga, Vympel, Region, Smolensk Aviation Plant, Salyut, and other defense-industry organizations to the corporation.

  4. Further expansion continued

    Later consolidation added more enterprises to the holding structure, a pattern that helps explain why public sources connect KTRV to multiple missile families rather than to a single plant or design bureau.

Artillery

Tube artillery, rocket artillery, and long-range ground fires.

1/1
Kh-32, Supersonic air-launched anti-ship and land-attack cruise missile, Artillery2014 Russia-Ukraine WarKh-32Supersonic air-launched anti-ship and land-attack cruise missileBuilt in: RussiaThe Kh-32 is a Russian supersonic air-launched cruise missile derived from the Kh-22 family for long-range attacks on ships and fixed ground targets. Built by the Raduga design bureau within Russia's Tactical Missiles Corporation network, it is carried by Tu-22M3-series bombers and combines a high-altitude flight profile, inertial navigation, and terminal radar homing. Russia has used the Kh-22/Kh-32 family against Ukraine, where its speed, steep terminal profile, and anti-ship design heritage make interception difficult and raise accuracy risks when fired at urban land targets.

Munitions

Standalone missiles, bombs, rockets, torpedoes, and guided or unguided explosive payloads.

FAB-250 UMPK, 250 kg glide-and-correction bomb, Munitions2014 Russia-Ukraine WarFAB-250 UMPK250 kg glide-and-correction bombBuilt in: Soviet Union / RussiaThe FAB-250 UMPK is a Soviet-origin FAB-250 aviation bomb fitted with Russia's UMPK glide-and-correction kit. The conversion gives a 250 kg bomb a pop-out-wing stand-off role, with direct Ukrainian reporting documenting FAB-250 UMPK use in the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War and Ukrainian military intelligence tying the kit's frame, wings, SMART control package, Kometa-aided navigation, and UMPK-250 assembly to Russia's wartime guided-bomb production chain.
Kh-69, Air-launched land-attack cruise missile, Munitions2014 Russia-Ukraine WarKh-69Air-launched land-attack cruise missileBuilt in: RussiaThe Kh-69 is a Russian subsonic air-launched land-attack cruise missile developed by Raduga within Tactical Missiles Corporation for precision strikes against fixed targets. Its compact square-section body and folding surfaces are tied to tactical-aircraft carriage, including Su-34, Su-35, and Su-57 launch contexts, while its guidance stack combines inertial, satellite, terrain-height, and electro-optical terminal inputs. The missile has been documented in Russian strikes during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, including the April 2024 destruction of the Trypilska thermal power plant.
3M22 Tsirkon, Hypersonic anti-ship and land-attack missile, Munitions2014 Russia-Ukraine War3M22 TsirkonHypersonic anti-ship and land-attack missileBuilt in: RussiaThe 3M22 Tsirkon, also rendered Zircon, is a Russian hypersonic missile associated with the 3K22 shipborne missile complex and NATO reporting name SS-N-33. Open sources attribute design and production to Reutov-based NPO Mashinostroyenia within Tactical Missiles Corporation, with documented Project 22350 and Yasen-family launch reporting, broader 3S-14/UKSK compatibility claims, and thinner public reporting on Bastion coastal-launcher integration. Russia used the missile in strikes on Kyiv during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, with reporting expanding from fragment-based 2024 evidence to larger 2026 salvos, while its advertised speed, range, warhead, guidance, and even flight-profile details remain shaped by Russian claims, fragment analysis, and secondary estimates rather than fully transparent public test data.

Rosoboronexport lists inertial navigation with radio correction and active radar terminal homing, while RUSI ties the missile to Russian MiG-31, Su-35, and Su-30 long-range air-combat tactics in Ukraine and cautions that publicly confirmed kills remain limited.
