TechMach (Rus. "ТехМаш") is a fictional Soviet bureau, that incorporated production of the USSR's military vehicles and armaments in the IronClaw's Just Cause X: Global eXchange series.
Description[]
In the days of Cold War, the meaning of the word "TechMach" was pretty much identical to "Soviet military industrial complex". This giant organization incorporated most of USSR's efforts for arms, combat vehicles, munitions, and equipment developments. Pretty much any gun, tank and bullet that were made during the Soviet days were labeled "TechMach".
History[]
After the end of WWII, Soviet leaders reformed the old system of armament production and quality control, centralizing dozens of smaller Bureaus beneath the overarching banner of the TechMach. It was supposed to cut bureaucratic spending and time deletions by severely decreasing numbers of people responsible for arms manufacturing. While the initiative was only partially successful, TechMach Bureau remained a single entity that was allowed to work with USSR's Ministry of Defense until the fall of the Union in 90s.
While the Bureau was officially stated to be "dead" and forgotten, in the wake of the 2000s Russian authorities made an effort to resurrect this giant organization. A Consortium of companies known as "URGA", however, became a mere shadow of the unimaginably large TechMach Bureau, that once was.
By 2024, vehicles and weapons made by the company were phased out by almost every semi-rich military.
It eventually became exhumed into Eldrith Tech in the Just Cause 4: Sakaku universe.

Trivia[]
- "TechMach" states for "(highly-)Technological Machine production" in Russian.
- There were tens (if not hundreds) of actual "TechMachs" (bureaus of the same name, like Poltava TechMach or Ural TechMach) in the real life Soviet Union; "Spetsmazh" is probably the most commonly known.
