For 10 months - unheard of a short time - the plant has fulfilled the necessary drawings, developed the technology, has prepared the necessary tooling and equipment. Just remember that when the plant in 1936, mastered the production of cars ZIS-101, the preparation for their production took almost a year and a half.
