Two warhead options. PCB and Pre frag.
Su-30MKI can carry 5 of these.
TL;DR - This thing's going to be priceyDon't know why but it seems like they're making a custom warheads for Gautam/Gaurav instead of adding kits to existing bombs like JDAM or JDAM-ER
Good job @ezsasa @Pundit Pikachu
Now allow me, I also want to contribute my part in this whole mess
This was the latest pic of Gaurav from Adani's manufacturing facility
This looks like a proper manufacturing facility.Gaurav aka LRGB in LRIP.

The last I heard, DRDO took up a project to develop a 300mm version this year after the GoI wasted 2 years trying to get a private company to do it.What happened to Pinaka MLRS thing? The Chinese have implemented two kinds of MLRS one for Short Range High Volume and another for Long Range upto 500km Medium Volume. The Chunmoo MLRS is able to combine all 130mm, 230mm, 400mm and 600mm in a single package but the bigger ones lack range.
What exactly is taking too much time that its been like a decade? Are they trying DRDO's own signature move of "Lets reinvent wheel again"?.
No, the delays are due largely to the Army's reluctance to induct larger caliber rockets for whatever reasons and then the subsequent tom foolery of the government and DRDO isn't the one to be blamed here (for the most part anyway).What exactly is taking too much time that its been like a decade?
