Artillery Plant No. 9 Weapon Systems

Artillery Plant No. 9 is a Yekaterinburg defense manufacturer that grew out of the Uralmash artillery production base in 1942 and is publicly identified with towed guns, tank guns, and barrel-artillery production. In this catalog it mainly provides the builder context for the D-30 122 mm howitzer and the wider Soviet-to-Russian artillery lineage.

Artillery Plant No. 9, also recorded as Zavod No. 9 and Plant N9, is a Yekaterinburg defense manufacturer that emerged from the Uralmash artillery production base during World War II. Public sanctions listings and reference sources place the company at 1-I Pyatiletki Square and identify it as a producer of towed guns and tank artillery.

For this archive, the builder anchors the catalog's D-30 entry and gives context for the broader Russian barrel-artillery line the plant is known for, including current output linked in sanctions and defense reporting to tank guns and self-propelled-artillery gun systems.

Public English-language references use several spellings and legal forms, including Zavod No. 9, Plant N9, Artillery Plant No. 9, AO Zavod No. 9, and JSC Factory No. 9. Sanctions and reference listings are used here for company-name, address, and manufacturing context; no conflict-use claims are made in this builder profile. No separate facility photograph with clear reuse terms was verified during this task, so the profile uses an openly licensed D-30 product photograph tied to the builder by the profile's D-30 manufacturer sources.
