India on Tuesday conducted its first successful test of the Long Range Glide Bomb (LRGB) off the coast of Odisha. The bomb was launched from the Air Force’s Sukhoi MK-I fighter jet. The Defence Ministry said on Tuesday that during the flight test, the glide bomb accurately hit the target set up on Long Wheeler Island.
The Defense Ministry said that Gaurav is an air-launched 1000 Kg glide bomb, capable of hitting long-range targets. After being launched, this glide bomb moves towards the target with the help of a highly accurate hybrid navigation scheme. It was designed and built at Research Center Imarat (RCI) in Hyderabad.
Defense Minister said- this bomb will increase the strength of the army
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh praised DRDO, Indian Air Force and industry for this test. He called this successful test a big step towards making indigenous defence technology. He said that this will increase the capability of the armed forces.
The ministry said that the entire flight data of the test launch was captured by the telemetry and electro-optical tracking system. This system has been deployed by the Integrated Test Range across the coast. The flight was monitored by DRDO scientists.
The ministry said that Adani Defence and Bharat Forge, partners in developing and manufacturing this glide bomb, were also present during the test flight. Secretary Department of Defence R&D and Chairman of DRDO Sameer V Kamat congratulated the entire team of DRDO on this successful test.
Indigenous kamikaze drone with a range of 1000 km is being prepared in India
India has developed indigenous kamikaze drone. It can carry 25 kg of explosives up to 1000 km.
India is making indigenous kamikaze drones. This drone will be able to fly up to 1,000 kilometers. A domestic engine is being installed in it. These unmanned drones get destroyed after reaching the target. National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) is making these drones.
Such drones are being used in the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts in Gaza. Ukraine has used them extensively to target Russian infantry and armored vehicles.
Drones can fly in the target area for a long time. They are fitted with explosives. Anyone sitting far away can control them. They can be sent in a swarm i.e. many drones can be sent together. This allows them to attack the target by evading enemy radar and defense. Read full news here…
