Russian Armed Forces will adopt the latest Drill aerial bomb in 2018
The PBC-500U SPBE-K unified planning bomb cassette (Drill) with the possibility of round-the-clock all-weather use (without the aircraft entering the zone of coverage of air defense objects) is intended to engage armored vehicles, ground-based radar stations and command and control centers.
The dropped bomb can plan up to 30 kilometers, adjusting the flight using GPS and GLONASS signals. Above the target, the three-meter “Drill” breaks up into 15 self-aiming combat elements. One bomb will silence an artillery or rocket battery, stop the convoy tanks, will disable the large radar and anti-aircraft missile system. The ammunition is equipped with a complex of protection against air defense and electronic warfare - to detect a flying bomb with a radar, and even more so to shoot down it is almost impossible. Abroad, nothing like the "Drill" is not.
NPO Basalt is a leading developer and manufacturer of bombs, automatic and naval anti-sabotage grenade launchers, hand grenades and artillery ammunition.

The main division of "Basalt" is located in Moscow, the branches of NGOs are located in the Moscow region, Kostroma region and Tula, reports RG-Sil
