The capabilities of @DRDO_India developed #SAAW revealed at #DEFEXPO2020 are impressive. CEP < 7m using IN & GPS+Gagan. Breathtakingly, EO-SAAW, which uses IIR seeker for terminal homing, has CEP < 3m! 
The > 90-km range with release parameters of 12.8-km height and 0.9M is impressive, but I doubt a Jaguar would ever achieve those parameters. The reason why it's being tested with Jaguar could well be availability of AESA for precise targeting.
Using Gagan for precise targeting is smart though it would make the weapon Pakistan specific, that too only for targets in close proximity to the IB. It's easy to understand why @DRDO_India was ready to go with #SAAW for Balakot strikes.
