BREAKING NEWS
The Miniature Bomb (MB), developed in collaboration between ASELSAN and TÜBİTAK SAGE, is a GPS/INS guided bomb equipped with deployable wings and a penetrating nose structure. It can be carried in fours on a single station of an aircraft, allowing attacks on eight different targets in one sortie. With a maximum range of 100 km and an effective penetrating range of 55 km, this bomb minimizes collateral damage due to its precision strike capability.
Advanced Mobility and Range
The Miniature Bomb (MB), a product of the collaboration between ASELSAN and TÜBİTAK SAGE, represents a significant advancement in military technology. The bomb’s deployable wings enable it to achieve a maximum range of approximately 100 km (55 nautical miles), ensuring its effectiveness over a broad operational area.
Penetrating Effective Range
A distinctive feature of the MB is its penetrating nose structure, enabling it to breach reinforced concrete and similar robust structures. It has an effective penetrating range of 55 km, making it particularly efficient against hardened targets.
High Altitude Capability
The MB can be effectively deployed at a maximum altitude of 40,000 feet (approximately 12,200 meters). This high-altitude capability allows it to evade enemy air defense systems and reach its targets undetected.
Precision Guidance System
Equipped with both GPS (KKS) and INS (ANS) guidance systems, the MB delivers extraordinary precision. With a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of less than 15 meters, it ensures high accuracy in hitting its targets.
Physical Characteristics
The MB weighs 139 kg, with a diameter of 17 cm and a length of 180 cm. These dimensions make the bomb both lightweight and compact, facilitating ease of transport and deployment.
Multiple Carriage and Multiple Target Capability
Using the Multiple Carry Solution, four MBs can be carried on a single station of an aircraft, allowing for the transport and deployment of multiple bombs in a single sortie. Furthermore, its capability to strike eight different targets in one sortie makes it a highly efficient and effective weapon.
Environmental Impact
The MB's precision strike capability significantly reduces collateral damage. This feature is particularly crucial when targeting areas near civilian zones, as it minimizes unintended harm to non-combatants.
The MB epitomizes the advanced technology and engineering expertise in the defense industry. With its sophisticated features, it provides a strategic advantage in modern warfare.
