The message reads, in part:
“Over the years, your enterprise has developed dynamically, playing a significant role in ensuring the nation’s defence capability and national security, as well as in strengthening the combat power of the Russian Armed Forces. The tireless work of several generations of your talented scientists, designers, engineers, and workers has brought bold innovative ideas to life, leading to the development and serial production of unique models of individual armour protection.
I am confident that the present-day team of KLASS, while preserving and enhancing the excellent traditions of its predecessors, will continue to fulfil the tasks set for the benefit of Russia with honour.”
