Nirbhay missiles will be formally inducted by the military after the next round of trials expected in a few months

Sorry, who decided to "Abort the test" after 8 minutes? Indian scientists or the missile itself?

And read these golden words:
"People familiar with the matter said the DRDO would conduct another trial in a few months that would pave the way for the missile’s full-fledged induction into Indian military and deployment on the borders."

One accidental success - is all it would take.

Nirbhay LACM was being tested for the first time with India's own Manik engine. All previous tests were done with Russian engines.

LoL they actually deployed this missile in active service along LAC . This is third time they are saying that next test will be final.

Nirbhay missile fired into sea, aborted minutes later

New Delhi, Oct 12: The Nirbhay cruise missile was launched by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) from Odisha's test facility into the Bay of Bengal.

However, it was decided to abort the trial a few minutes later.

The missile which was fired at 10.30 am today developed a snag and had to be aborted 8 minutes later, officials said.

Earlier this month India said that it was all set to induct Nirbhay subsonic cruise missile into the Indian Army and Navy. This would be done after the 7th trial which is scheduled for next month. The 1,000 kilometre rocket booster missile has a single shot kill ration of more than 90 per cent. The formal induction of the missile was cleared by the Defence Acquisition Council headed by Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh.

Sources tell OneIndia that a limited number of missiles have already been moved to the Line of Actual Control (LAC), where India is locked in a tense standoff with China.

India on Wednesday successfully test fired the supersonic cruise missile BrahMos having a range of around 400 km, officials said. The BrahMos cruise missile travels at a speed of Mach 2.8, nearly three times that of sound.

The test firing of the missile was carried out by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) off the coast of Balasore in Odisha, the officials said.

BrahMos Aerospace, an India-Russian joint venture, produces the supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft, or from land platforms.


The Nirbhay subsonic cruise missile travels at a speed of 0.7 mach. It has not terrain hugging and sea skimming capability which helps it to avoid detection.

The sophisticated missile with a strike range of 1,000 km was test launched from a specially-designed launcher last year. Powered by a solid rocket motor booster, 'Nirbhay' missile with a turbo-fan engine is guided by a highly advanced inertial navigation system.

OP needs a psychiatric help. This fetish about India is abnormal.

It's an Indian defence thread, it would be abnormal not to post such news.

They were practising the kill switch. Stop this nonsense that it was a failure. It perfectly met the test parameters.

It was the first test of Nirbhay Missile with an Indigenous ‘Manik‘ engine.
all tests conducted of Nirbhay before were done using Russian engines.

hey I know you feel it funny but not everything is perfect in first attempt.
cruise missiles are complex systems.

Indians developed brahamos because they just have to draw Indian flag on it.

Like you reverse engineered Tomahawk and made babur so that you can put your flag on it.

 

[Ghost Hobbit]

Once the manik engine is declared succeful, we will be able to induct twice as many Nirbhays as we could with Russian engine.

 

[Awan68]

Like you reverse engineered Tomahawk and made babur so that you can put your flag on it.

Reverse engineering a complex system as tomohawk is a feat that only a few countries on earth can achieve and since we did that, the flag on babur is well earned and the days of initial reverse engineering were over long ago, we got the basic tech from tomohawk but babur is a completely different beast now. Much different from brahmos, the only indian thing which has is the stupid tri shit coloured thing u call a flag.

Besides I believe we have already completed a Brahmos test with both Indigenous engine and seeker. The whole missile is practically India now (in India I mean). With that in the pocket this is just a matter of time.

You didn't reverse engineer Tomahawk. Either you're smart and you have a smirk when you say it, or you need psychiatric help.

They don't have the expertise to reverse engineer Tomahawk.

It was the Chinese, who did it and got CJ 10 for themselves and Babur for Pakistan.

Sanghis have already counted it into their arsenal against China
