On May 17, 2025, it became known that 74-year-old Vladimir Nedoshivin, one of the designers of the Iskander operational-tactical missile system, died as a result of a domestic conflict in the city of Kolomna in the Moscow region. According to Vesti.az, on May 9, Victory Day, Nedoshivin was found by neighbors in serious condition in the entrance of an apartment building on 2nd Yubileyny Proezd. The neighbors called an ambulance, and the pensioner was hospitalized, but died in the hospital a few days later. A forensic medical examination established that the cause of death was severe bodily injuries inflicted as a result of violent actions.

An investigation conducted by law enforcement agencies revealed that Nedoshivin's 32-year-old neighbor, plumber Anatoly Kolobaytsev, was involved in the tragedy. According to the publication, Kolobaytsev admitted that he pushed the elderly man down the stairs due to a conflict caused by Nedoshivin, who was intoxicated and relieving himself in the entryway. The incident was not a planned crime, but was the result of a domestic dispute. Kolobaytsev has been detained and may be charged with intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm resulting in death, which, according to the Russian Criminal Code, provides for up to 15 years in prison.

Vladimir Nedoshivin, while working at the Machine-Building Design Bureau (KBM) in Kolomna, made a significant contribution to the development of the Iskander missile system, which was adopted for service in 2006. He held several patents related to missile technology. KBM, founded in 1942 and part of the High-Precision Systems holding company of the Rostec state corporation, is known for creating systems such as the Igla and Verba MANPADS, the Khrizantema ATGM, and the Iskander-M OTRK. Development of the Iskander began in 1988 under the leadership of chief designer Sergei Nepobedimy, and Nedoshivin was part of that team.
