The Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO ) has successfully tested its long-range glide bomb, Gaurav, off the coast of Odisha. The smart bomb was dropped from an Indian Air Force SU-30 MKI fighter jet. The successful test of the bomb is expected to enhance the combat capability of the Indian Air Force.
Long-range glide bombs are smart bombs that enable the Air Force to attack targets that are beyond the reach of conventional weapons.
They are shot down by fighter jets while at a safe distance from enemy air defense systems. This bomb, after being dropped from a fighter, spreads its wings and is guided to its target by the onboard satellite navigation system. Such bombs are very useful for any Air Force. These bombs are very difficult to detect on radar because they are small and do not use propulsion and do not emit a heat signature that can be detected by radar.
