The bomb was developed by the State Engineering Research Institute in Balashikha. The weapon has what the manufactureres say is the unique ability to hover above the water surface for up to four minutes. At present, there is no similar model in the world they claim.
The Zagon-2E aerial bomb is used against submarines when they are surfaced, at periscope depth, or up to 600 metres below the surface.
The weapon which weighs 120kg and is 1.5 metres long descends on a parachute from an antisubmarine aircraft carrier – Il-38 and Tu-142M jets, and Ka-27 helicopters – and, while hovering above the water surface for up to four minutes, uses its active hydroacoustic guidance system to locate targets within 450 meters.
