LegalEntity:notes | LLC Molot Arms, founded in 2011 in Moscow, is a Russian defence manufacturer engaged in the production of firearms and unmanned aerial systems (UAVs). Its flagship product is the “Zhmil-17” first-person view (FPV) combat UAV, manufactured in Kirov Oblast since 2023 and supplied to Russian forces in Ukraine. The company’s current monthly output exceeds 500 UAV units, with State-backed plans to increase to 1 000 UAVs per month in 2025. The Zhmil-17 is designed for reconnaissance, kamikaze strikes and precision bombing. It is a short-range UAV enabling attacks on armoured vehicles and fortified positions. Operators highlight the Zhmil-17’s 1,5 kg airframe weight, low acoustic signature, and FPV guidance via encrypted radio links, making it cost-effective compared to imported equivalents. Molot Arms reported 2024 revenues of 926 million roubles and net profits of 49 million roubles, reflecting its wartime expansion. In addition to in-house assembly, the company cooperates with regional electronics firms in Kirov for the production of navigation modules and control systems, ensuring continuity of supply despite restrictive measures. Deliveries to the Russian Ministry of Defence are accompanied by technical training teams and localised support, underscoring the company’s integration into the military-industrial base. Therefore, LLC Molot Arms is supporting materially Russia’s military and industrial complex, including by being involved in the development, production or supply of military technology and equipment. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-98889 | ||||
