Indian air force tests locally produced Long Range Glide Bomb

The Indian Air Force recently conducted the initial drop test of a domestically manufactured glide bomb, named Khagantak-243 (K-243). This weapon is available in four different sizes to accommodate varied operational needs. Crucially, the K-243 is designed for use in environments where GPS navigation systems are unavailable. A visual representation shared on social media depicts the bomb successfully impacting a designated ground target directly. This represents a significant step towards self-reliance within India’s defense capabilities, bolstering its strategic autonomy.
