IAF tests indigenous Khagantak-243 glide bomb with 140+ km range
- The IAF successfully tested the indigenous Khagantak-243, a long-range glide bomb, on September 2.
- The weapon can reportedly strike targets more than 140 km away, giving fighter jets a longer stand-off strike capability.
- Khagantak-243 is designed for precision attacks, allowing aircraft to hit targets without flying directly over them.
- The trial marks a step towards stronger domestic production of advanced weapons and reducing reliance on foreign systems.
