The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully test fired an indigenously-developed 500 kg Inertially-guided bomb at the Pokhran test firing range in Rajasthan.

Fired from SU-30 MKI fighter aircraft, the guided bomb achieved the desired range and hit the target at 30 km with high precision.

The DRDO this month has had several successful test firing trials. Last week, the India Navy and the DRDO had successfully test fired from the test range a Man-Portable Anti-tank Guided Missile (MPATGM) which has advanced features like an image infrared radar seeker with integrated avionics.



Earlier this week, the Indian Air Force (IAF) had successfully tested BrahMos air version missile from Su-30MKI fighter aircraft. The IAF had said that the launch from the aircraft was smooth and the missile followed the desired trajectory before directly hitting the land target.

The IAF has plans to have 40 Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter planes to be fitted with the BrahMos (designated PJ-10) missiles which will help it in carrying out strikes at the enemy targets. These missiles have been made lighter for being carried on the plane.

Before that, DRDO had also carried out the flight test of ABHYAS – High-speed Expendable Aerial Target (HEAT) from test range in Chandipur in Balasore, Odisha. The ABHYAS missile has been designed on an in-line small gas turbine engine and it uses the indigenously developed MEMS-based navigation system.

In March, the PINAKA-guided-missile from the Pokhran range was test fired. This indigenous missile is a multiple rocket launcher produced by DRDO for the Indian Army.

I hope it is weather proof too, being DRDO, or they tell that to Modi before hand if it's not.

But what if they killed a cow instead of a crow?

Do the IAF still would have gotten celebrated in India had they killed a Gao Mata or two in Balakot?

PETA should look into this animal discrimination too, don't you think @Nilu Pule ?

South Indians doing all the hard work for India. Yet Punjabi bollywood mocks and insults them. And instead glorifies drug consuming, daughter killing and wife killing paajeets like @SorryNotSorry
