The KAB-500KR is a Soviet television guided aerial bomb that operates on the 'drop and forget' principle. Target lock-on for a parked aircraft is achieved at a range of 15 to 17 kilometres in meteorological visibility distance of 10 kilometres. The warhead can pierce a reinforced concrete barrier up to 1.5 metres thick and average density soil to a depth of 10 metres.

The Mig-27 (Flogger) is a Soviet single-seat tactical strike and close air support fighter aircraft. The Mig-27 is capable of a maximum speed of 1,800 km/hr at altitude and 1,250 km/hr with a normal mission missile payload flying at low altitude. With high altitude flight the aircraft's operational range is 2,100 kilometres, while low level flight gives an operational range of 1,080 kilometres. The Mig-27K variant of the Mig-27 family is a variable geometry wing fighter bomber. The primary mission of the aircraft is the destruction of moving and stationary, fixed and mobile ground targets including hardened targets. The Mig-27K carries three types of air-to-surface missile: the Kh-23M, the Kh-25ML(MP), and the Kh-29L(T). The R-60M air-to-air missile is carried for dogfights and the Kh-27 anti-radar missile is carried. The Mig-27K can carry two types of controlled air bombs, the KAB-500L laser guided bomb and KAB-500KR television guided bomb and can also carry S-24, S-25, S-8, S5 unguided rockets and a range of aerial bombs up
to 500 kg size, cluster bombs and incendiary devices. The Mig-27K is equipped with the 30 mm Sh-6-30 gun and an SPPU-22 two barrel 23 mm gun pod housing a GSh-23 aircraft gun.
