What's new

Nirbhay Cruise Missile test failed.

Brahmos missile is actually (and quite completely) the P-800 Oniks from Russia.

P-800 Oniks is an anti-ship missile Brahmos is a cruise missile.

Besides that...
According to BrahMos managing co-director Alexander Maksichev, "launcher and control system of the missile are made by Indian partners, while Russian party – NPO Mashinostroyenie - is responsible for missile part".

BrahMos Aerospace Chief Executive and Managing Director A Sivathanu Pillai told the press on February 8, 2011 that India intends to make the ramjet engine and the seeker within the country.

In October 2011, Pillai told The Hindu that BrahMos Aerospace Thiruvananthapuram Limited (BATL) will start manufacturing the missile's liquid ramjet engine.

Pillai said BATL has been asked to "make the entire BrahMos missile, including the nose cap, the whole of F3 [the missile section comprising airframe and fuel tank] and the ramjet engine. In effect, it will be the complete missile except the composite part and warhead. Anyway, the BATL is already making some critical airframe components of the missile such as the front docking unit and the shutter assembly.”

Similarly the Nirbhaya is also based on modified Russian systems that go by the designation Kh-55

This exercise was meant to correct your spelling of the Nodong-1, thank our Korean friends and bring you upto par with India's 'indigenous' missile manufacturing capability.

IN and IAF already operates Kh-59 the cousin of Kh-55.

Chinese missiles never failed ?? :cheesy: Perhaps you were too busy in your kitchen when chinese S - 300 failed spectacularly :P

Even then India failed miserably..
Kh-55 Painted as Nirbhay failed in first flight...
At least Nodong Repainted Ghauri...flew a few successful missions...

India Sux at paintjob :lol:

Who know if Ghauri travel more then 10KM, your Army is known to give wrong /Lie news. Ranges from Army soldiers in Kargil to Saab plane destroyed in Attack in airbase. No Army in world gone to the extent to lie about destroyed Aircraft also.

So if PAK army claims that missile successful then one need to understand it failed and only successful for news. So called Successful missiles also found fallen in midway.
 
7 years in making, cruise missile fails test


NEW DELHI: The much-hyped stealth ‘Nirbhay’ cruise missile, in the making for at least seven years now, failed in its maiden test on Tuesday. The over 1,000-km range missile, which can carry nuclear warheads, in fact, had to be destroyed in mid-air after it deviated from its flight path along the coast in Bay of Bengal.

However, DRDO took pains to emphasize that the first test of Nirbhay (fearless) — touted to be in the same class as the famous American Tomahawk missiles and an effective answer to Pakistan’s Babur land-attack cruise missile (LACM) — was not an abject failure.

“The missile was successfully launched from the Chandipur launch complex off the Odisha coast around 11.50 am. It met the basic mission objectives successfully. After travelling approximately midway, deviations were observed from its intended course at a waypoint. The missile was then put in the self-destruct mode to ensure coastal safety,” a DRDO source said.

“The missile flew for around 200 km, proving 90% of the critical technologies. We will analyze what went wrong, undertake corrective action and then conduct another test,” he added.

All this does not detract from the fact that the failure of the sub-sonic missile, which flies at 0.6 to 0.7 Mach, is a serious setback to India’s ambition to soon brandish a long-range, nuclear-capable LACM.

The strike range of the already-inducted BrahMos cruise missile, while supersonic with a speed of Mach 2.8, is just about 300 km. Moreover, neither is BrahMos as “highly-maneuverable” as Nirbhay is designed to be, nor can it “loiter” before homing into the target.

But on Tuesday, the two-stage Nirbhay, which was being tracked by radars, warships and even a Sukhoi-30MKI fighter, developed snags in its “inertial navigation and control systems” just over 15 minutes after being launched from a road-mobile launcher.

The armed forces have been demanding nuclear-tipped LACMs, with strike ranges over 1,500 km, for a long time. While ballistic missiles like the Agni follow a parabolic trajectory, terrain-hugging cruise missiles do not leave the atmosphere and are powered and guided throughout their flight path.

Capable of evading enemy radars and air defence systems since they fly at low altitudes, even at tree-top level, cruise missiles are also much cheaper as well as more accurate and easier to operate than ballistic missiles.

Nirbhay, which deploys wings and tail fins to fly like an aircraft after being initially launched with the help of a solid-propellant booster rocket engine, has been designed to be a “universal missile” like Brahmos. That is, it’s capable of being fired from land, air, warships and submarines.

“Since Nirbhay flies at a slow speed at low altitudes, enemy radars can mistake it for a bird over land or a wave over sea. After separation of the booster motor, the main missile flies like an unmanned aircraft… it can fly at tree-top level and maneuver around hills,” the DRDO source said.

A military officer, however, said, “Nirbhay still has a lot of foreign components… its turbofan, for instance, is imported. It’s still five-six years away from becoming fully operational.”

@People saying paint jon non sense.


It didn't even meet all of its objectives in the first test. If this isn't telling you it isn't a paint job, then what is??

Practically all these cruise missile look the same anyways.

BS journalism, the first two tests are meant for validating the robustness of the missile’s airframe and that of its two-stage propulsion system and hence are not equipped with digital terrain profile matching sensor and warheads.

And the engine is not foreign but is developed by HAL and ETBRDC.
BTW Nirbhay is indigenous as far as I can gather from various TRUSTWORTHY reportage.

The Soviet Union was accustomed to lying about entire cities. So, no. You're statement is only partially correct.

Who knows whether or not Ghauri can make it make past the 10 km mark?

Pakistan Army's Ghauri Missile Test - YouTube

20,687 people for starters, and now you.

And as for your final contention alleging that Pakistan's missile tests fail and only the successful ones are announced? SPOT ON! :bounce:

And in this there is a lesson to be learned. Do not count your chickens before they hatch. A missile test launch in India receives national coverage hours if not weeks before it lifts-off. This gives ample time for expectations to build up and for the world's eyes to settle down intently on what is essentially a big question mark. The smarter way of going about is how the Pakistani army manages it. Fire and if it fails, cover it up. Nobody knows, nobody cares. Fire and if it succeeds, plaster it on every wall, book and screen. Rub it in. Fire it again. Gloat about it. Fire it again for giggles.

It's about time India took a break from blowing its trumpet before actually catching its breath. It makes us in Pakistan laugh and belittles India's status as a credible opponent.

I still remember Musharraf once conducted 4 ballistic missiles tests in single day so that Pakistanis will feel proud of him and could come to vote. :lol::lol:

Ghauri is North Korean Radong 1 which Pakistan got by selling nukes to them.

Well for starters there are many who believe that counting chickens before they hatch is a good habit.
While Pakistan hushes its failures DRDO doesn't, thus in a way there is enough pressure coming their way, which urges them to perform the next time, thus succeeding the next time, which is usually the result.
This gives me a semblance of peace that though we are failing now we will be prepared later on, coz frankly that's how it has always been, for us at least.
However if I was in your shoes I would have been more doubtful of the successes than anything else.

The "Pakistan way" may be the smart way but it is not the correct way.
So yes, I feel that it is good to blow our own trumpet and show off, coz even though the media and the normal Pakistanis may belittle us your government knows that we are telling the truth when we have failed, and they also believe that we are ready when we claim that we are ready.
 
I wonder why they fire only one missile for the test......

Actually the missile "deviated" because of a programming error in way point location.........the missile actually followed the correct path.....

Yes that is correct. Nodong-A (Radong-1). Point being?

There should be enough pressure on DRDO to perform knowing the Red Dragon is breathing down the nape of its neck. You are entitled to your opinion but concluding that Pakistan's way is not the correct way...please. Blowing your trumpet is a good thing? What can you possibly blow now that headlines the world over read 'India's missile test unsuccessful'. We're not on the same page here, dear acquaintance. Nonetheless the words of a wise man occur to me. I was once told that the majority of mankind listen with the intent to reply, and do not listen with the intent to understand. I now see what was meant.
