Looks like this plant is/was a key node in the production of solid rocket propellant, with possibly just one other plant in Lipetsk that produces the "ferrocene-based combustion catalysts":

The company produces:

・ferrocene-containing combustion catalysts;
・technologies for producing chemical substances.

Fire Point said Ukrainian sanctions have proven to be the most effective, according to the company.

New preprint in collaboration w/ the Gutierrez lab! ⚡️

A single phenyl group on ferrocene only shifts redox potential by 20 mV, yet can dramatically change its performance through proposed substrate-mediator π-interactions in Shono-type allylation.

Volgogradpromproekt is listed by the US Department of the Treasury as a manufacturer of "ferrocene-containing combustion catalysts". In other words, additives for solid ammonium perchlorate-based 'Opal' rocket fuel used by for example Iskander-M ballistic missiles.

From top left (numbering 1 to 9):

Topologically, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8.

2 contains a hole, ferrocene would be fine. 6 has doors, therefore holes. 7 is really lots of sandwiches.

9 caused a hole...in my heart. I loved working there.

Can Rust Replace C/C++ in Safety-Critical Embedded Systems? Sonair Just Put It Through Certification
Sonair has published the engineering path behind ADAR One, which the company describes as the first safety-certified embedded system built in Rust. The more important story is the architecture around the language: real-time ultrasonic processing, DMA, a bare-metal multicore scheduler, hardware partitioning, the qualified Ferrocene toolchain, a certified subset of Rust core, and a certification process covering the complete system. The result does not prove Rust will replace C/C++ everywhere. It shows that Rust now has a practical path into safety-critical embedded products without turning the comparison into a language war.
