The Zlatoust Machine-Building Plant is a former arms manufacturing plant in Zlatoust, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia. It produced many of the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons, including the R-39 Submarine-launched ballistic missile. The plant was founded in 1939 for the production of small arms. Today, in addition to small arms, it produces industrial equipment and medical supplies.[1]
