India's GAURAV has passed its flight test, demonstrating its effectiveness as a weapon.

The coastal city of Balasore, India was filled with excitement as the country achieved a remarkable feat on Tuesday. The Indian Air Force successfully test-fired a Long Range Glide Bomb named GAURAV from the Su30 MK-I platform. This test was carried out with the help of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), showcasing the nation's prowess in the field of defence technology.

GAURAV is a powerful air-launched bomb weighing 1,000 kg that is capable of hitting targets located at long distances. It was designed and developed locally by the esteemed Research Centre Imarat in Hyderabad, as confirmed by defence sources. What sets this bomb apart is its unique hybrid navigation system that combines INS and GPS data to accurately guide it towards the intended target.

In the recent flight test, GAURAV successfully hit its target at Long Wheeler's island with incredible precision, as stated by sources. The Telemetry and Electro optical tracking systems deployed by the Integrated Test Range along the coastline captured all the flight data, providing valuable insights to the DRDO scientists who were closely monitoring the entire process. The Development cum Production Partners, Adani Defence and Bharat Forge, also played a crucial role in the flight trial.

The Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh, congratulated the DRDO, Indian Air Force, and the industry for this significant achievement. He hailed it as a major milestone in the country's efforts to develop indigenous defence technologies and further strengthen the capabilities of the Armed Forces. This successful test launch is a testament to India's commitment to self-reliance and innovation in the field of defence.
