In recent years before the start of the war, Russian television channels constantly talked about hypersonic missiles and combat work, which were allegedly already being supplied to the troops with might and main. The design bureau of military robotics of JSC “766 UPTK” is responsible for the latter area. The Cheka-OGPU will tell you how the situation really is.

JSC “766 UPTK” is known for the fact that in 2018, after criminal cases were opened against the then-current management, operational management was transferred to “professionals” from the Kalashnikov concern (part of Rostec, headed by Chemezov). Since then, the bureau has been mired in stories of “dead souls,” appointments of nominal 30-year-old general designers for the development of multibillion-dollar complexes, and regular failure to fulfill government contracts. Surprisingly, renaming it to a certain JSC “SKB MO RF” did not help.

According to the source, at the end of 2022, the bureau again failed the contract for the development of the Soratnik combat robotic complex, concluded back in 2018. It is known for certain that after 5 years, the technical design stage is not completed.

In November 2023, it is expected that contracts for heavy robotic systems for the engineering troops of the Russian Armed Forces will be disrupted. And apparently the Uran-9 BMRC, advertised on TV as a “combatant in Syria,” has been buried forever. The documentation for it was never finalized and sent to the Department of State Defense Procurement for approval by the commission and adoption of the complex for service, although correspondent filming was repeatedly organized on the territory of the bureau, according to which the Uran-9 complexes went straight from the hangars to military units in which To date, they have not been discovered.
