The Mechanical and Chemical Institute Institution (MKEK) has made a new delivery to the Turkish Air Force Command within the scope of the Penetrating Bomb (NEB) Project.
The new batch delivery of the Penetrating Bomb (NEB), developed by TÜBİTAK Defense Industry Research and Development Institute (SAGE) and mass production by the Machinery and Chemical Institute Institution (MKEK), was made to the Turkish Air Force Command.
In a statement made by the President of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey, Prof. Dr. İsmail DEMİR, regarding the subject, it was stated that, “Our Penetrator Bomb NEB deliveries continue. NEB has high penetration efficiency even at low impact speeds and angles, programmable firing times and usability against different target types.”
Penetrating Bomb (NEB)
Penetrating bomb (NEB), ground and designed to be used against targets below the ground, "Warhead Drill Sequencing" technology has, is the first concrete-piercing ammunition developed in Turkey. NEB's outer geometry, guidance kit interfaces, mass, center of mass and inertial properties are similar to the MK-84 (2000 lb.) General Purpose Bomb (GMB).
Compatible with the Precision Guidance Kit and Poultry Guidance Kit developed by TÜBİTAK SAGE, the Penetrating Bomb (NEB) provides much higher efficiency than the piercing bombs developed by other countries even at low impact angles and impact speeds thanks to its Sequential Piercing Warhead technology. .
