Omsktransmash, with its T-80BVM, is now led by a manager without tank-building experience

Igor Orlov has been appointed as the new acting general director of the enterprise

The plant that produces T-80BVM tanks, Omsktransmash in Omsk, has changed its leadership. Igor Orlov was appointed as the new acting general director starting May 18.

From February 2012 to April 2020, he served as the head of the Arkhangelsk region. Then, from June 2020 to May 2026, Orlov led "Severnaya Verf" in St. Petersburg.

At Omsktransmash, Orlov replaced Vasily Kovalyov, who had worked at the enterprise since December 2022.

Recall that Omsktransmash produces modern modifications of T-80BVM tanks, PTS-4 amphibious transporters, and TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" heavy flamethrower systems.

Vitaly Khotsenko, the Governor of the Omsk region, noted in December 2025 that Omsktransmash workshops are being modernized.
