Update 6: Production Milestone

When we last left off, Production had begun in December 2024.

We had Arktis airfreight a small batch of the first rigs to roll off the line. The QC is absolutely top-notch and the rigs turned out just like the 'Gold' production sample we received. In other words - a slam dunk.

With that batch, we were actually able to fulfill a small portion of the orders, mainly a large amount of those placed on launch day of the rig.

Obviously, our work is far from done. But progress is progress and we're sure people are happy to hear that things are moving along and the rigs turned out great.

As of this update, Arktis is confident that production for all outstanding rigs will be completed by the end of March, after which the SMERSH rigs will ship to our warehouse from their factory via ocean. We estimate currently that SMERSH will arrive and begin shipping out for all remaining orders in May.

We're glad that we can finally point to a month instead of just a quarter for delivery. And given the confidence that Arktis has in this delivery ETA, we wanted to share that as the most concrete ETA for delivery thus far during the whole project.

Once again, we thank everyone who's supported the project for their patience. Remaking SMERSH in bulk has been a massive undertaking with an entirely new manufacturer to us, and we're very excited to almost have SMERSH rigs in our warehouse ready to ship.
