Question

Which among the following systems is a long-range glide bomb launched from a fighter aircraft?

• A. BrahMos
• B. Gaurav
• C. Astra
• D. Nag

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Gaurav

• Correct Answer: Option B - Gaurav

• Gaurav (also known as SAAW - Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon) is an Indian-developed, precision-guided, long-range glide bomb designed to be launched from fighter aircraft. It has a range of around 100 km and is primarily used to destroy ground targets like enemy airfields, bunkers, and radar stations.

• BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile developed jointly by India and Russia. It's not a glide bomb but rather a cruise missile with its own propulsion system.

• Astra is an air-to-air missile developed by India, designed to engage and destroy enemy aircraft. It's a beyond-visual-range missile, not a glide bomb.

• Nag is an anti-tank guided missile developed by India. It's designed for destroying tanks and other armored vehicles, not a glide bomb launched from aircraft.
