This was stated in an interview with RIA Novosti by the general director of the enterprise Sergey Pozdnyakov.

“We turned to Roskosmos with a proposal to start developing a new generation of spacesuit,” he said.

It is noted that since 2017, Russian cosmonauts have been using Orlan-ISS spacesuits at the International Space Station.

In December 2018, kp.ru reported that cosmonaut Sergei Prokopyev spoke about his first spacewalk in a spacesuit.
