In March, CNews wrote that a contractor for Karat had not yet been selected, but now the matter has finally gotten off the ground.

The Telegram channel "Russkoe oruzhie" claimed that Karat's products could be used in transmit-receive modules of radar stations for aviation and air defense.

This refers to the 96L6-TsP from the S-350A Vityaz air defense missile system, or the Yenisei multi-functional radar from the S-500 Prometheus and S-400 Triumph air defense missile systems, as well as the N036 Belka onboard radars of Su-57 fighters.
