Wonder whats the current status of DRDO Aircraft Launched Lattice Fin controlled High Angle of Attack (AoA) Strategic Bomb
AFAIK lattice fins more or less seen in very heavy class air launched ordnance meant to defeat hardened & deeply buried target (HDBT) &/or counterforce...

Insted of conventional version of Agni5...
My idea is to "build 12 Ton bomb similar to Gbu57 and add slightly miniatured 1st stage of Agni 1P to it and launch the whole thing from C17 , IL76 & MTA
Bomb & 1 st stage would be ~20 Ton's
IMO Range would be ~500 Km
Concept similar to air launched icbm from C5

---------------------------
IMO it's good to go with purpose built missile for the above role rather than using Agni 5 as conventional missile
Current nose cone of Agni 5 can't fit 7.5 Tons conventional warhead (Volume constraint) and for Bunker buster role warhead needs to be in cylindrical casing rather than conical casing like traditional Agni 5
Lofted trajectories are generally avoided

My concept for bunker buster Agni Missile
