Glide bomb tested

On 3 November the Indian Air Force flight- tested an indigenously developed Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (SAAW) from the Integrated Test Range ( ITR) in Chandipur on the country’s east coast. Three tests of the precision-guided gliding munition were conducted under different release conditions in which the weapon, which was released from an IAF aircraft, reached its intended targets at a distance of more than 70 km with a high degree of accuracy. The weapon has been under development by DRDO in collaboration with the IAF.
