PAO "Imperatorsky Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod" won a case for 425 million rubles against AO "KBP im. A. G. Shipunova". The information was published in the case database of the Arbitration Court of the Tula Region.
There are no details on the substance of the proceedings, as the case was heard behind closed doors. It was likely about a breach of contractual obligations under agreements concluded between the enterprises, or the recovery of a penalty.
The Shipunov Instrument Design Bureau named after Academician A. G. Shipunov was founded in 1927. The company produces the high-precision Pantsir-S and Pantsir-M anti-aircraft missile and gun systems, Krasnopol guided artillery shells, Hermes-A missile systems, and the Berezhok and Bakhcha-U fire-control systems.
Shipunov's bureau is a frequent participant in high-profile legal disputes. In the autumn of 2025, the Russian Ministry of Defence announced the recovery of 1.47 billion rubles from the designers, and taking court costs into account, the amount may even increase.
