India’s Nirbhay cruise missile test fails


NEW DELHI — The flight test of India’s homemade 1000-kilometer-range cruise missile failed Monday following technical problems.
Nirbhay — an intermediate-range subsonic land-attack cruise missile with terrain hugging — is an Indian version of the American Tomahawk and the Russian Club SS-N-27 cruise missiles.
Defense scientists in India said the test failed within 8 minutes of the launch due to technical issues in the engine. They gave no further details.
The Nirbhay missile is currently powered by the Russian Saturn 50MT turbofan engine. Its local development began in 2007 with the Defence Research and Development Organisation.

A senior DRDO scientist said Nirbhay is a stealthy missile capable of delivering different warheads and is capable of loitering and attacking multiple targets.
“The cruise missiles like Tomahawk and Nirbhay (when successful) do not follow a ballistic parabola but are terrain-hugging in their path. Therefore, they are more difficult to detect by conventional radars. And hence more lethal and thus required by Indian Armed Forces,” an Army official said.
Weighing 1,500 kilograms with a height of 6 meters and a speed of Mach 0.7 Mach, the missile can carry up to 300 kilograms of conventional and nuclear warheads.
Nirbhay is a two-stage missile. Its solid-fuel rocket motor serves as its first stage and accelerates the missile after launch to cruise speed, when a turbojet engine in the second stage takes over.
It is equipped with a domestically made ring laser gyroscope inertial navigation system, a GPS-enabled guidance system and a Russian seeker system.
In July, the Ministry of Defence’s procurement body moved to purchase about 300 Nirbhay cruise missiles for the three armed forces.
At least 20 more tests will occur before the missiles are inducted, another DRDO scientist said, which could take three to five years.
The weapon is manufactured by the state-owned firm Bharat Dynamics Limited, and each Nirbhay missile system will cost about $1.5 million.

Everything is reversed Engineered except what India has?

We don’t do it here and if we do we take proper license to do so.

If Indian subsonic or supersonic missiles sucked, Pakistan would have attacked India to take Kashmir long ago.

Lame excuse. It's been 30 years since Kashmiris started violence. Border/LOC hasn't changed.

Reverse engineering and making a missile on your own are 2 different things.
the only pakistani ingredient in your “indigenous weapons” is your stupid flag designing which wasn’t difficult for you, you just added a white strip to the left of the ‘All India Muslim League’ flag who’s head was Jinnah, heck even your flag has India in it.

Whatever makes u sleep at night or should i say whatever makes u shit on a train track, buddy.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Nirbhay is a failed product. Period. So many failed test even with Russian motor this clearly indicates design failure.

False. ISI doesn't have the capability to penetrate so deep inside India. But your existence is probably the result of invasions.

yes it have the capability to penetrate so deep in India's arseholes.

ISI tried op Gibraltar - Failed

that was Army but i wouldn't blame you for your rss chaap knowledge.

ISI tried Khalistan - Failed

false. khalistan movement started after your indri gaaandi attacked Sikh's most sacred religious place & her death was pure justice too at the hands of sikhs.
if ISI tried to flame the war inside your country, your punjab would be somewhere else today.

ISI tried Kashmir post-1990 - Failed

again wrong rss chaap. ISI so far succeeded in trapping you Inside IOK. 7 lakh occupied rat forces required all year for guarding their puppet govt of merely 50 politicians. lmfao good one ISI.

RAW tried to liberate BD - Succeeded

Even a small african country like Ecuador could liberate East Pakistan considering internal conflict in the country & Pakistan lost the country long before your country jumped in by supporting mukti bahni terrorist groups to kill unarmed civilians & rape women. quite an accomplish of raw lmao. A real accomplishment of India would be to integrate east Pakistan in her map but lol you failed. As i said, even some rag tag country could do what you done. for example, creating & funding terror arms.

India does issue NOTAM warnings before every missile test and yesterday a new NOTAM warning was issued and XR-SAM and Meteor missiles are highly likely to be tested during this period.

Their Pakistani ANZA MANPAD is a reverse engineered version of the mass produced and very common 9K32 Strela MANPAD.

Shouldn't you guys be ashamed of yourselves for not even having the capability to reverse engineer weapons systems at all? Or does India feel like it can skip a billion steps and design everything on her own cause if this is the case, then there is zero hope for India. The fact that you guys cannot even develop proper howitzers or cruise missiles really speaks to how piss poor the Indian MIC is.

That was due to faulty ammo, not the gun itself plus there are plenty of Indian companies making world class howitzers and are under testing, just because a Nirbhay test failed with our indigenous engine doesn’t mean we can’t make, why do you test weapons?

and that’s the reason Russia doesn’t sell its weapons to Pakistan, it gives to china because of strategic reasons but not pakistan, coz reverse engineering is illegal, reverse engineering is not a difficult task, making by yourself is.

If ISI has done none of it, then what do they get salary for?

The The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Monday launched the 800-km range Nirbhay cruise missile from Odisha’s test facility into the Bay of Bengal but decided to abort the trial a few minutes later.

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

This was a test of Nirbhay with new Indian engine. A small batch of Nirbhay with Russian engines already deployed near LAC.

India needs to fast track Nirbhay ITCM with STFE, although for Pakistan current BrahMos-ER with 450-500 km range is enough as Pakistan is a narrow country.

yeah that's the real question. You should put this matter up in your next class at RSS Academy.
