It is believed to be similar to the KAB-500S-E, and to use the same Kompas PSN-2001 (Pribor Sputnikovoy Navigatsii) satellite receiver.[1][2] The manufacturer, Tactical Missiles Corporation aka KTRV, has fully completed testing of products of the K08B and K029B (UPAB-1500B) types, both products are in serial production and are delivered to combat units.[3]

Russia intends to fit it to the Su-24M, Su-34, Su-35 and Mig-35 aircraft.[1] They hope to export to India and China.[1]
