New LGB, NG LGB

[Water Car Engineer]

There are lot of glide bombs, LGB, etc. coming out. But I think this is the, "NG LGB", vaguely mentioned couple of times. Not sure if it's related to the other named bombs that was mentioned not that long ago.

Christened as 'Garuthmaa' and 'Garudaa', the 'glide bombs' are being indigenously developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

Of these two drop trials, the test of Garudaa, the non-winged glide-bomb, was carried out to evaluate its precision for a range of 30 kilometres on Thursday. In another set of drop trials on Friday, both Garudaa and 'Garuthmaa' were successfully tested from a Su-30 MKI aircraft.

'Garudaa', the non-winged version of this guided bomb with a range of 30 kilometres was tested initially three years back. DRDO officials shared that contrary to the conventional 'dumb bombs' which take a free flight after being dropped, guided bombs like 'Guruthmaa' have winglets and on-board navigation and guidance systems enabling these to hit the target with precision after being dropped from varying heights.

The NG LGB is probably now branded, 'Garudaa'.

Also a yet to be seen winged version, 'Garuthmaa'.

Garuthmaa, the 1,000-kg winged smart glide bomb, was tested for its maximum 100-km range. Top DRDO officials termed the tests as a 'major success'.

Plus, a even smaller bombs in the same line as spice 250. Several stand off bombs in one rack.
