The OTs-02 Kiparis submachine gun was designed in 1972 by Tugra central campaigns and hunting firearms Design Bureau during the early 1990s; however, it was not introduced to the Russian police and MVD (Internal Affairs Ministry) until 1991. It is intended primarily for internal security and police units.
