  customers worldwide. TAM has always been the only
  manufacturer of this type of aircraft in the
  world.
• Along with military aircrafts, TAM has been
  manufacturing K-10 air-to-surface guided missile.
  It has also pioneered in the large scale
  production of air-to-air R-60 and R-73 IR guided
  missiles.
• In the mid 1980s, TAM participated in the space
  program BURAN (the Soviet equivalent of the
  Space Shuttle) by manufacturing and assembling
  various parts.
• In the late 1990s, TAM and the Georgian Space
  Construction Institute designed and produced the
  space antenna-reflector, which was successfully
  installed on the Russian MIR space station.
