In accordance with the decree, KTRV will not pay dividends between 2024 and 2028. The released part of the profit will be used to finance investment projects related to the technological re-equipment of production facilities.

The funds will also be used to form a scientific and technical reserve to fulfill the tasks of the state defense order, finance social expenses and compensate for the costs of stabilizing the financial and economic condition of NGO Iskra.

The Russian government has been instructed to ensure the exemption of the Tactical Missile Weapons Corporation from paying dividends for the specified period. This will allow us to concentrate financial resources on the development of the production base and the fulfillment of government orders.

KTRV is one of the key enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex. The inclusion of the Iskra NGO in its composition will strengthen the corporation's potential in the development and production of rocket engines.

The merger of enterprises is aimed at optimizing production processes and increasing the efficiency of fulfilling the state defense order. Integration will strengthen the scientific and technical competencies of both organizations.^[2]
