New JDAM LR capability completes successful demonstration flights; milestone achievement for long-range naval strike
The Navy recently demonstrated the new Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Long Range (LR) variant in early April, marking a significant milestone in bringing a new option for affordable, producible, standoff strike capability to the Carrier Air Wing.
U.S. Navy Tests New Long-Range GBU-75 JDAM LR - Naval News
An urgent requirement for JDAM LR comes amid the depletion of various long-range strike capabilities currently fielded by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy

Hope India is paying close attention to this. Adding not only guidance but propulsion tail kits for the "dumb" bomb arsenal options.
This will provide economy of scale pathway without imposing too much on brahmos et al for especially longer conflicts... in fact it would increase strike rate of brahmos at stand off range when used in saturation conjunction too (along with drones etc in first layer).
Not only turbojet kits, India should look into pulse jet and ramjet tailkits too if you ask me.

Spec sheet of the LRGR-120 rocket, pic quality is bad though.
Better pic of the important bits:
So the price of a single LRGR-120 round is around $160,000 (if directly converted from Rupees). The 150km ranged ER-GMLRS (used by M270 & HIMARS) was sold to Finland for over $430,000 per round. While that is the export price, which will always be higher than what the US pays for its own use (besides taking into account logistics & other services covered under the contract), it still goes to show that LRGR-120 will be a far more affordable solution while delivering a slightly shorter 120km range.
