Deliveries of unified planning bomb cassettes SPBE-K PBC-500U abroad may begin next year

General Director of JSC "NPK"Engineering technology»Sergey Rusakov told the media that from 2017 onwards Russia will start supplying the latest bomb cassette to foreign customers. We are talking about ammunition PBC-500U SPBE-K.

This is a unified planning bomb cassette that is capable of defeating without the aircraft entering the zone of direct action of the enemy’s air defense weapons and delivering highly accurate self-aiming ammunition to the target. The planning bomb cassette PBK-500U SPBE-K is designed for all-weather use at any time of the day.

As an effective ammunition, the PBC-500U SPBE-K can be used against armored vehicles, anti-aircraft missile systems with thermal or radar contrast under the influence of natural and man-made interference.

The ammunition is produced by NPO Basalt. For the first time, the PBC-500U SPBE-K bomb cassette was presented in the city of Zhukovsky during the MAKS-2015 international aerospace show.

Sergey Rusakov quotes RIA News:

We estimate that this type of ammunition can be exported from 2017 onwards.

The cartridge has a modular design and, depending on the purpose, can be equipped with different military elements, including high-explosive fragmentation, concrete-breaking or incendiary. Antitank "filling" is also used. Effectively used by frontline aircraft aviation.

Well, as they say, business and nothing personal. Such ammunition for the price of a small carrier, a very profitable product. Judging by the news, the amount of ammunition for our VKS has accumulated enough?

The product is profitable, but as far as I know, Russia itself has very few such bombs, and here it is already exporting. .

The product may be profitable. but it’s not very clear what to do with the fact that cluster bombs are prohibited for use by an international convention? It remains to assume two options:
1. To foreign buyers this convention on a drum.
2. Buy (however, as they produce) in the case when it will not be up to the conventions.

Only for those who have signed this convention.

The countries that are the largest manufacturers and owners of cluster munitions - the United States, Russia, China, have not signed the convention. They also refused to accept the treaty: India, Pakistan, Israel, South Korea, who consider them an effective and necessary weapon.

In addition, there are loopholes in the Convention itself:

The agreement contains a list of authorized munitions equipped with submunitions, subject to their selective impact and the safety of unexploded submunitions. Among them: ammunition equipped with less than 10 submunitions, each weighing more than 4 kg, is designed to hit a single target and is equipped with electronic self-destruction and self-deactivation mechanisms. Armaments with submunitions weighing more than 20 kg are also not regulated by the convention.

Your attacks on us have long been known to all. It’s better to calculate how many crimes the states have committed, how many conventions they do not give a damn about, and how many do not sign. Well, at the same time, remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For example, have you heard to come up with a convention against cruise missiles? And never hear, because in the states this is one of the main types of weapons.

And in my "attacks" at least sometimes logic and common sense slip?
I'm just wondering how you can produce, sell and use cluster bombs yourself and condemn others for their use?

On Thursday, a representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Alexander Lukashevich, called the use of cluster munitions in Ukraine a war crime. According to him, the facts cited in the report of the human rights organization Humans Rights Watch prove the responsibility of the Ukrainian authorities for the deaths of civilians and an employee of the Red Cross committee during the shelling of Donetsk. The official said that at the upcoming UN Security Council on Friday, Moscow would call on the international community to get Kiev to abandon the use of cluster munitions.

If I am not mistaken, neither we nor the states have signed or ratified this convention.

And chemical weapons are not chemical weapons, right?

I suppose: Terrorists are not parties to and signatories to the convention, therefore, for terrorist organizations recognized by the public as such, this device can be used by its purchasers.

There is nothing valuable in the bomb itself, a piece of iron with stabilizers, its price is a penny. There is the main content, self-aiming combat elements. Those that were thrown into Syria were ancient 91years, a third did not work.

You can only sell what is in demand.

And recently in the comments they shouted that we do not have planning bombs. And here already even for export. Or am I misunderstanding something?

I wonder how far she can plan? Here the number is not called. The plumage is visible in the photo, but how far can it plan on this?

Yes, wrong. PBC-500U is actually a container with submunitions, an analogue of the American CBU-105 (aka Rokai-2), only it is not planning. The difference between PBC-500U and RBC-500 is only in the possibility of planning, but at the same time, planning is uncontrollable, i.e. there is no homing system, dropped and then flies by the will of the wind and gravity, disclosure by timer. This is all the last century.
We are lagging behind in "smart" bombs, those that dropped 30 km away. from the target, and she flew herself and got where it was needed.

[fzr1000]

Eeeee ... and have they already filled all the warehouses? Nowhere to go? I am not against trade, but first we need to get enough of it ourselves.

Are you sure that we don’t have them? It seems that all the weapons we now have first, then for export. Or do you need tours to the warehouses?

[fzr1000]

I dont know. But I hope we have plenty of them. Although, knowing our "effective" managers ...

Those used in Syria were marked in 1991.

[fzr1000]

Why then for the first time shown at MAX 2015? So secret that they didn’t show them for 24 years?

Yes, the truth is incomprehensible against whom. In the video that is available and subsequent photos they were thrown into a clean field.

It will be interesting to see who the buyers are. It’s noteworthy that only the states that are members of the SCO, the USA and China did not sign the international agreement on the ban on cluster munitions. It will be clear.

[engineer74]

This is not a "cluster munition", it is, on the contrary, a delivery vehicle for precision weapons!
The wings of the bourgeois "gliding bombs" are really long ... Although they are foldable, maybe ours are folded too - in the photo, because of the packaging it is not visible ...

[hunt1]

Well, that's right, we in Syria not only advertised the Su-35 and S-400, but all kinds of gifts that fly directly into the hands of the "customers"

[Zomanus]

Fine. A export supply price for your army weaning.
And something tells me that such things only work with our aiming systems.
which are on airplanes.

The fact that something tells you is misleading you. Drive such a clue in three necks, type in the search engine Self-Aiming Combat Element and read what is written about it there. Or at least think about the meaning of the word "self-aiming".

[Corsair0304]

They will trade as usual: they sold one, received money, made for themselves + another one for sale. I think this is a very forced measure to saturate our videoconferencing warehouses. At some point, when our pilots in Syria were already very intensively explaining to the Basmachs that since they wanted to live badly, the same Basalt suddenly switched to three-shift work. That is, the existing accumulation of bombs was close to depletion, only NZ remained. The native state, as usual, "has no money, but you stick here," so the "Basaltites" are spinning as best they can, so that they themselves stay afloat and help the Aerospace Forces.
By the way, the "basalts" at one time already offered assistance to the state in the fight against fires of the so-called. airborne fire extinguishing agent ASP-500.

Just bombs should be a certain amount. And since we began to actively spend them (old stocks), it seems quite logical that in their place fresh ones were needed.

I mean the same. Nature does not tolerate emptiness. Used up the bomb? Do the same. And what to do when there is no money? Put something on sale for money to appear.

What makes you think that there is no money in the military-industrial complex? Everything is relatively normal there.

The thing is necessary, if you started to trade, then you have already saved up for yourself!

We are not talking about those "cluster" bombs. Here, a cassette is understood as a rather specific submunition. Basically, the most interesting are anti-tank with individual guidance - which were used in Syria.
