War on terror

Smart missiles and bombs Russia uses to take out ISIS in Syria (PHOTOS)

Russia’s smart weapon inventory used in Syria is a choice of time-proven bombs and missiles equipped with state-of-the-art system guidance. Precision weapons are used from high altitudes to exclude encounters with portable air-defense systems.

Russian precision bombs use the GLONASS navigation system to home in on targets, while missiles are expertly guided by the weapon system operator.

A trusty weapon in the surgical strikes being carried out in Syria is the KAB guided bomb, which has two variants: KAB-250 and KAB-500.
