In May 1941 the [[Red Army]] subjected a [[KIM-10]] to a series of tests, including in road conditions varying from the newly built Moscow-Minsk Highway to rural mud roads and off-road. Despite the official “mostly satisfactory” mark, the car proved to be unsuited to the requirements of the military service.

In October, 1941 the plant was hastily evacuated to Ural. Most of the manufacturing equipment was abandoned or destroyed during the [[Battle of Moscow]].

In 1944, with a Soviet Victory imminent, plans were in place to continue production of the [[KIM-10-52]].
