Thermobaric Bomb MK82-T
PBP-003 / MK82-T
PBP-003 is a plastic-bonded thermobaric explosive that contains more than 20% by weight metallic powder. The blast wave formed upon detonation creates more impulse and higher quasi-static pressure in indoor targets (caves, tunnels, bunkers etc). Moreover, the additional amount of heat generated by burning of metallic powder increases the temperature of the flame and extends total time duration of the flame which enhance the thermal effectiveness of the explosive on targets.
In the scope of TENDÜREK project, a thermobaric explosive (PBP-003) and a thermobaric variant of MK82 General Purpose Bomb (MK82-T) have been developed.
