Bullseye! India's Homegrown Glide Bomb 'Gaurav' Hits Target 100 Km Away
A new homegrown, long-range glide bomb called 'Gaurav' hit a target more than 100 km away, marking a huge success in its development journey. The trials are complete now and serial production can begin. Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) along with partners including Adani Defence and Aerospace, this stand-off glide bomb could be a game-changer for the Indian Air Force (IAF).
'Gaurav' was dropped from a Sukhoi-30MKI fighter jet. It weighs 1 tonne and can be fitted with many types of warheads. The glide bomb hit the target 100 km away with pinpoint accuracy, despite not having its own motor for power.
