Never seen this bomb before ? Is it based on Russian FAB/KAB ?
I don't see any source referring the "Gaurav" to be a derivative or based upon Russian munitions. Most of our precision guided munitions are of Israeli origin and this bomb has been developed as an alternative to Spice-2000. It is an indigenous munition developed by a few DRDO labs and is manufactured by Adani Defence and AerospaceNever seen this bomb before ? Is it based on Russian FAB/KAB ?
The one I posted might be some BMP versionLets wait and see what this even is....and what its final evolution actually is. It could be a BMP upgrade concept rather than FICV....something like Abhay but they gave it to L&T now?
Pretty standard practice...even the Yanks use their "AIM" series missiles in several ADsInteresting way to make use of R-27 and R-73 stockpiles given the squadron number reduction that will be experienced for some time.
