SARB-83 Ready for Mass Production

Affiliated to the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) Defense Industry Research and Development Institute (SAGE) developed a sequential penetrating aircraft bomb SARB-83It was announced that it is ready for mass production.

TÜBİTAK SAGE Institute Director providing information about SARB-83 Gürcan Okumuş, NEB-84 He stated that the experience gained during the development process paved the way for the development of similar ammunition such as SARB-83. “As far as we know, there are no aircraft bombs that were used as used for the first time in Türkiye “There is a technology, sequential penetrating warhead technology.” He said and continued his words as follows;

"We were the first in the world to use this technology in aircraft bombs as NEB-84. With the experience we gained from NEB-84, we Mark-83 (MK-83) ​​in its geometry and mass tandem-drilling warhead "We started it with our own resources as an effective ammunition development project."

According to Okumuş's statements, SARB-83 has all the weapons that can be used in MK-83 aircraft bombs. guidance kits can be used. SARB-83 project SERT-82Okumuş stated that the progress was faster than the previous one, and that the subsystem tests and environmental tests of the bomb had already been finalized, and lastly, the qualification and see driller activity He stated that the tests were finally completed.

Target Ballistics of the Tests are in the Rail System Dynamic Test Infrastructure (HABRASOkumuş said that the "We had to do the NEB-84 test in England, this infrastructure did not exist. Now we have developed our own infrastructure. ammunition, we have tested SARB-83. “We also received very nice images and the test was very successful.” he said.

Maybe for the last time for SARB-83, it was completely removed from the aircraft. live fire test Okumuş said, "We can do it." “According to future demands in line with the needs of our Presidency of Defense Industries and our Air Force. can be mass produced situation.” He officially declared that SARB-83 is ready for production.

Speaking about the export potential of SARB-83, Gürcan Okumuş said: “SARB-83 is not currently in inventory and is not available in the world. very few like it an ammunition. Since its biggest advantage is in the geometry and mass of MK-83, it was also developed by TÜBİTAK SAGE. Precision Guidance Kit"It is a product that can function in harmony with the Winged Guidance Kit and has the potential to be exported abroad." he said.

Finally, Okumuş talked about the penetrability of both SARB-38 and SERT-83. “SERT-82, 1 meter concrete; SARB-83 will be able to penetrate 1.8 meters of concrete. After completing mass production Turkish Armed Forces can be taken into inventoryThese are products with export potential. We think that they will increase our momentum in exports in the Turkish defense industry in recent years.” he said.
