OVERVIEW: The KAB-1500Kr-Pr is a 1,500 kg-class Russian precision-guided bomb featuring a TV-guided electro-optical seeker and a penetrating warhead, designed for striking hardened underground or reinforced concrete targets.

DETAILS: Developed by GNPP Region as a sub-variant of the KAB-1500Kr family, the Kr-Pr version (where "Pr" stands for penetrator) is equipped with a reinforced, concrete-piercing warhead and a TV-guided seeker that allows precise terminal homing. The munition is guided in real-time by the launch aircraft via a TV feed, requiring continuous line-of-sight during the terminal phase.

Optimized for destruction of underground bunkers, command centers, and reinforced structures, the KAB-1500Kr-Pr delivers deep penetration before detonation, ensuring destruction of protected targets. Like other Kr-series bombs, it uses cruciform control fins and is released from medium or high altitude.
