It is reported that the main executor of state contracts for the development and production of 9M723 missiles is the Russian Engineering Design Bureau. The missiles are manufactured at the facilities of the Votkinsk Plant. "Both enterprises have long been under sanctions by most countries of the sanctions coalition, as are most other manufacturers of components of the ballistic Iskander, the Ministry of Defense's message states.
However, 13 of the 49 published enterprises are currently not under sanctions by any country of the sanctions coalition.
