Is it time to thump the heads of the nay-sayers and gloom-birds?

Congrats for firing a sub-Sonic cruise missile after many failures, by the way where it lands this time? is it predesignated area or missile land as per its own intelligence. 
Isn't it ironic India claims to have developed (A Russian Yakont) super-sonic missile long ago but it took many years with failure to develop less advanced sub-sonic missile.

No news on your media either launch didn't happened or this one also failed

Balasore: India’s most sophisticated long range subsonic cruise missile ‘Nirbhay’ was test fired from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur here today.
The indigenously-designed and developed missile with a strike range of 1,000 km was test launched from a specially-designed launcher at 10.30 am on Tuesday from the launch complex-3 of the ITR near here, defence sources said.
Powered by a solid rocket motor booster, Nirbhay missile with a turbo-fan engine is guided by a highly advanced inertial navigation system. Capable of carrying 24 kinds of war weapons, the missile is able to target multiple places simultaneously.
After the missile achieves designated altitude and velocity the booster motor is separated and the torfan engine automatically switches on taking over further propulsion, DRDO sources said.
Mid-way in its flight, missiles wing opens up by the commands generated by the sophisticated on board computer for stabilising the flight path.
The missile was tracked with the help of ground based radars and its health parameters were monitored by indigenous telemetry stations by team of professionals from DRDOs ITR and LRDE (Electronics & Radar Development Establishment).
The maiden test flight of Nirbhay held on March 12, 2013 had to be terminated mid way for safety reasons due to malfunction of a component, sources said.
However, the second launch on October 17, 2014 was successful.
The next trial conducted on October 16, 2015, had to be aborted after 700 seconds of its launch.
The missile was also test fired last time in December, 2017. There were reports that the test had failed even though there was no official confirmation on the reports. All these trials were conducted from same defence base.

Last time was December 2017? A missile capable of time travel

Long-range cruise missile 'Nirbhay' test-fired
BALASORE (ODISHA), NOV 7:
India today conducted a flight test of its indigenously designed and developed long-range sub-sonic cruise missile ‘Nirbhay’, which can carry warheads of up to 300 kg from a test range at Chandipur along the Odisha coast.
This was the fifth experimental test of the homegrown missile system.
Defence scientists are hopeful of a flawless trial this time. Out of four earlier trials since its maiden launch in 2013, only one was successful.
The state-of-the-art sleek cruise missile took off from a specially designed launcher from launch complex-3 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur, near here, at about 11.20 am, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) sources said.
All initial critical operations of the trial such as blast of the sophisticated missile were successful as it moved up in its trajectory, a DRDO scientist said soon after the launch of the missile.
The data is being retrieved from tracking systems for a detailed assessment, he said.
Powered by a solid rocket motor booster developed by the Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL), the missile has an operational range of 1,000 km.
The ’Nirbhay’ missile can travel with a turbofan or turbojet engine and is guided by a highly advanced inertial navigation system indigenously developed by the Research Centre Imarat (RCI), the DRDO sources said.
After the missile achieves its designated altitude and velocity, the booster motor is separated and the engine automatically switches on taking further propulsion, said a DRDO scientist associated with the project.
He said “mid-way in its flight, the missile’s wing opens up by the commands generated by the sophisticated on-board computer for stabilising the flight path.”
All along its trajectories from lift-off to splash down, the missile is to be tracked with the help of ground-based radars and IAF aircraft.
The health parameters of the vehicle are being monitored by indigenous telemetry stations by a team of professionals from DRDO’s ITR and LRDE (Electronics and Radar Development Establishment).
The two-stage missile is 6 metre long, 0.52 metre wide with a wing span of 2.7 metre. It can carry a warhead of 200 kg to 300 kg at a speed of 0.6 to 0.7 Mach. Its launch weight is about 1,500 kg, the sources said.
A senior scientist hoped the missile would deliver the desired result this time.
“After a thorough review some changes have been incorporated in the missile system and we hope it will deliver the desired result,” said the senior scientist.
The maiden test flight of ‘Nirbhay’ held on March 12, 2013 had to be terminated midway for safety reasons due to malfunction of a component. However, the second launch on October 17, 2014 was successful, he said.
In the next trial conducted on October 16, 2015, the missile deviated from its path after covering 128 km.
The last test flight held on December 21, 2016 had to be aborted after 700 seconds of its test flight as it deviated from its designated path. All these trials were conducted from the same base at Chandipur ITR.
The word "Succesfully" is missing from both the article.
This tells me some, that the success is little short of 100%

Correct your dates. This is a useful development but needs to be integrated into doctrine. Where does it go?
