Bomb "Drill" was tested. "Drilled" successfully

Developed by the Tekhmash concern in the interests of the Russian VKS, the newest planning Drel aerial bomb has successfully confirmed the declared characteristics during state tests, Interfax reports with reference to the deputy general director of the concern Alexander Kochkin.

According to Kochkin, the tests pass according to plan, all declared characteristics of the bomb are confirmed. There are no fears that state trials will fail. According to the plans of the Russian Ministry of Defense and according to the program of the customer, the state tests of the Drill bomb should be completed before the end of this year.

The 500-kilogram Planning Drill Aerial Bomb was developed by the NGO Basalt (part of Techmash) in 2016. The bomb is designed to arm operational tactical aircraft aviation and is capable of hitting armored vehicles, ground-based radars, command posts and anti-aircraft missile systems. An aircraft armed with such aerial bombs may not enter the affected zone of enemy air defense. After dropping from the carrier, it can plan over 30 km, while it is almost not displayed on radars. At an altitude of about 250 meters above the target, a cluster charge is revealed. Aiming at the target is carried out using the GLONASS system.

Earlier it was stated that in the future, the drill "Drel" could also come into service with Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57.

And I hope there is a high-explosive version too?

[Rus_87]

In the course crossed with KAB-500C with RBC-500. All ingenious is simple

This is the PBK-500 planning bomb.

A cruise missile has an engine, this bomb has no engine, so the comparison with the missile is not correct.

There is a modification with an engine that flies 500 km. Those. one way or another, they go around in a circle, first make a bonba planning, then they realize that because of the reset parameters, the threat of meeting with enemy fighters increases and the range of the engine is added, resulting in a worthless rocket.

Some kind of strange classification. What a caliber of 500kg. Maybe the mass of the warhead or TNT equivalent or the mass of the bomb. What about the caliber?

Caliber - the nominal mass of an aerial bomb with fixed geometric dimensions, expressed in kilograms or pounds (in Russia and the USSR until the early 1930s, in pounds). For air bombs of the USSR and Russia, the caliber is indicated in the bomb symbol after the type name.

[GTYCBJYTH2021]

Namesake, and in what year of the last century did Russia leave the "inch" in the "metric" system of measurements?

[mvg]

GBU-39 / B - up to 100 km, "screwdriver" - 30 km, which is the beauty. Or is it an anti-tank, cluster, in the expectation that the armored vehicle column is protected only by short-range air defense, such as Strela-10 and ZSU-57 * 2

[bober1982]

It is precisely on tanks and to work, by the way, unlike the American bomb, that distinguishes between "friends" and "foes" in a tank battle, and can work, including on "cold" tanks, in any case, so it is stated.

[ramzes1776]

It turns out that it is designed to act directly on the battlefield and in the immediate rear of the enemy, where the melee air defense systems will not be a hindrance to it. Well, to fight the barmalei, where would you go without them)

[bober1982]

Yes, that’s all right, it’s good to use such bombs in local conflicts or attacks on terrorists, like American bombs. In full-scale hostilities, the problems with the enemy’s air defense will be both ours and the Americans.

Yes, and correctable?

How correctable it is, it’s completely different, roughly speaking - this is the usual RBC-500 with satellite guidance, and you need to throw it from a very high altitude to reach these very planning 30 km

[mvg]

satellite-guided

Vladimir, "guidance" already implies that she is already at least flapping her wings .. correcting the flight. KAB-500, with cassette warhead. Otherwise it is just, say, Hephaestus-24, which calculates altitude, speed, wind, humidity and other parameters and resets it. And she's already planning. Nothing depends on the satellite. Only the moment of reset.
// This, as I understand it //

Even in the corrected, sometimes they shove their own engine. Then the range increases from 30 to 70.

Any on-board system calculates speed, altitude, wind, etc. (of course, we got excited about the humidity) and determines the drop point, after the drop it plans, the "satellite" guides. The moment of the bomb release is calculated based on the satellite navigation you mentioned. And, they throw such a bomb. it is necessary from a great height, so that she can simply plan, for such a bomb and the aerodynamics are very different from the usual one.
If, for example, a coarse high-explosive bomb with a caliber of 500 kg is dropped, then the bomb will be planned for a rather long time, this is of course simplified to say, if in the language of the ballistics of an aviation bomb, the bomb itself will move after the dropping in the direction of the plane, and at the moment of separation of the bomb from the plane its speed will be equal to the speed of the aircraft. And, this movement itself will be very significant if you drop any bomb from a great height - this rel huge.

[Cympak]

Hephaestus-24, which calculates altitude, speed, wind, humidity and other parameters and resets.

What place does Hephaestus-24 calculate atmospheric parameters? The Achilles' heel of Hephaestus is that in order to achieve high-precision indicators (small QUO) for unguided bombs, you need to know the exact position of the wearer, the exact terrain in the target area and the exact characteristics of the atmosphere in the area of ​​bomb dropping. If the atmosphere is turbulent in the area of ​​the target, then no Hephaestus will not allow an uncontrollable bomb to accurately fall. Enough unaccounted for side gust of wind, so that the dropped uncontrollable bomb deviates from the calculated place of fall by tens - hundreds of meters. Satellite-guided bombs were created primarily to counter such atmosphere variability.

And how cold?

In 2016, NPO Basalt presented a new development that develops the ideas of existing projects. At the Army-2016 forum, the planning bomb PBC-500U “Drill” was shown, equipped with combat elements SPBE-K. The cassette with a special aerodynamic appearance, using satellite and inertial navigation, is able to plan for a distance of 50 km and deliver combat elements to the 15 target area.

A deeply modernized element called SPBE-K is distinguished by slightly increased dimensions and a different shape of the case. The cylindrical body of the parachute compartment and the fighting compartment now have a greater elongation, and the instrument compartment has an increased height. Probably all of these improvements are directly related to the use of a combined target search system. In addition to the infrared optical-electronic device for detecting armored vehicles, a radar system is now used.

[Cympak]

GBU-39 / B - designed to destroy stationary targets, and "Drill", judging by the description and use of SPBE-K, primarily for hitting moving targets in some place of their concentration.

It can be seen that others, they are shorter and more sweep, including the tail, everything is designed for greater speed.
And if this is a different type of weapon, they don’t plan.

I don’t know at what speed the AGMs are dropped, but looking at its design I wouldn’t give more than 900 tons.

The faster you fly, the faster you leave the danger zone.

[Cympak]

The "stumps" are extended after the release. Reset is possible when the carrier reaches the specified flight parameters. Therefore, "will not tear". Everything is thought out.

[Gray brother]

Quote: Cympak

Therefore, "will not tear". Everything is thought out.

It is clear that they are not put forward before the discharge, if the speed is not exceeded, then it will not tear off of course. I just say that it is reset at subsonic speed and it is noticeable in its aerodynamic design - rectangular stabilizers, and the small sweep of the wing, which is quite long by the way, generally does not imply large loads.

[JD1979]

I wonder when the brains will already reach the development of normal JDAM-type bomb modernization kits or bombs similar to the JSOW and GBU-39 project, and not this 30 km pornography? And it is also positioned by some media as an analogue of JSOW ... If SPBE-D threw at TTX until 1900km, then SPBE-K has 1100. Metal corus, metal wings .... not quite an inconspicuous bomb, where ammunition with composite cases.

[Cympak]

They won’t get to modularity .. Otherwise, our design bureau will have nothing to eat, i.e. conduct new research and development.
A range of 30 km can be justified by the following:
- "Drill" with SPBE-K is designed to destroy armored vehicles, and armored vehicles tend to change their location. Consequently, if you drop it far, then the armored vehicles can simply leave the area that is covered by SPBE-K after the deployment of the cluster bomb.
- such was the TTZ from the Moscow Region

[Winnie the Pooh]

The one who called the ammunition "Drill" clearly has neighbors who love to make repairs ..
In Syria, it’s clearly being tested .., there Ukrainians climb to the Donbass again, it would be necessary to help Russian squads ..

Most likely the "Drill" rotates in flight, therefore ....

[Dzafdet]

It is necessary to test in Syria by hitting Israeli airfields. And look at the effectiveness ...

[Cympak]

You just need to consider that:
1. A significant part of the Israeli population is our former and not only former compatriots.
2. Israel has several airfields in different parts of the country
3. Israel does not forgive (they have a different religion: "eye for eye")
4. Israel won all the wars with its neighbors, despite the supply to neighbors of modern at that time Soviet weapons and the help of Soviet advisers
5 Israel has the most saturated and layered air defense system (the benefit is small) and is capable of shooting down not only planes, but also missiles and bombs fired from them.
6. Hatred and underestimation of the enemy led to the disasters of 1905, 1914 and 1941.
