TsKB Foton = KOMZ???

Is this what became of KOMZ?

Zoom posted this link earlier and it seems like it is former KOMZ factory, since I noticed the S-13 camera listed in their aerial section, and I know it has the KOMZ logo on that camera.

It was the KOMZ R&D department, now -- a government firm attached to the joint-stock company KOMZ.

I see! So the KOMZ prototypes will comes out from Foton but the actual production from KOMZ factory itself... Thanks Zoom!

"TsKB".
There: "TsKB" or "CKB", in Russian: "ÖÊÁ" -- "Öåíòðàëüíîå êîíñòðóêòîðñêîå áþðî". In English: "Ñentral design office".

"ÖÊÁ" - "Öåíòðàëüíîå êîíñòðóêòîðñêîå áþðî
as there is a lack of character support in the text for cirillic alphabet, we can transliterate as:
"Ts K B" "Tsentral'noe Konstruktorskoe Biuro.
Any problems, I recommend the Online "PROMT" Translator. The best for these
