These tests have paved the way to include this weapon in the Indian Air Force, which is an important step in strengthening India’s defense capabilities. The Indian Air Force did not have any such glide bomb during the Balakot air strike. In such a situation, Israeli’s Spice-20,000 bombs were dropped from the Mirage fighter jet of the Indian Air Force on the training camp of terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed.
