Hyderabad, Oct 9 (UNI) India has moved closer to self-dependence in precision-guided ‘smart glide bombs’ as it conducted covert trials of these bombs successfully at Pokharan firing range in Jaisalmer on August 17 last month (Friday).
Christened as ‘Garuthmaa’ and ‘Garudaa’ , the ‘glide bombs’ are being indigenously developed by the Defence Research and Develoopment Organisation (DRDO) .
Of these two drop trails, the test of Garudaa, the non-winged glide-bomb, was carried out to evaluate its precision for a range of 30 kilometres on Thursday while in another set of drop trails on Friday, both Garudaa and ‘Garuthmaa’ were successfully tested from a Su-30 MKI aircraft, a DRDO official said in a newsletter released recently by the Aeronautical Society of India (AESI, Hyderabad branch) at a meeting here.
